Psalms 79
1 A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
Nkunga Asafi. A Nzambi! Makanda mabulumukini kuika kiaku, Masumuna nzoꞌaku yinlongo, makitula Yelusalemi kunza ki matadi.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
Bavana zinitu zifua zi bisadi biaku banga bidia kuidi zinuni zi diyilu minsuni mi banlongo baku kuidi bibulu bi ntoto;
3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
Batengudi menga banga nlangu mu yendila Yelusalemi ayi kusia monika ko mutu mu zika.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbours, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
Tuyikidi bila ki lusembo kuidi bafikimini yeto; mvuezolo ayi kisekonono kuidi bobo batuzungididi.
5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Nate thangu mbi, a Yave? Wela fueminanga mu zithangu zioso e? Nate thangu mbi kiphala kiaku kiela leminanga banga mbazu e?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
Dukula miangu miaku kuidi makanda momo masia kuzaba ko, kuidi bipfumu biobi kabi telanga ko dizina diaku.
7 for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
Bila bameni dia Yakobi, ayi bamana tiolumuna tsi andi yikabutukila.
8 Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Kadi kututangila masumu ma bakulu! Bika kiadi kiaku kiza nsualu kuidi beto bila tueka mu mabienga makambulu diana.
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
Wutusadila, a Nzambi Mvulusi eto mu diambu di nkembo wu dizina diaku! Wutukuidi ayi wutulemvukila masumu meto mu diambu di dizina diaku!
10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known amongst the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
Bila mbi makanda meti tubila: “Kuevi kuidi Nzambi e?” va ntuala meso meto, zabikisa va khatitsika makanda ti ngeyo weti vutula landi mu menga matenguka ma bisadi biaku,
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
Bika kunga ku batu badi mu nloko kutula va ntualꞌaku. Mu zingolo zi koko kuaku, tanina bobo bazengolo nkanu wu lufua.
12 Pay back to our neighbours seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
Vutudila mu zikhumbu tsambuadi bifingu bi bobo batufikimini; tsembolo yoyi bawobudila ngeyo Yave.
13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
Buna beto batu baku, nkangu aku wu mamemi weti dikila; tuela kuzitisa mu zithangu zioso; mu tsungi ka tsungi, tuela yolukila minzitusu miaku.
