< Psalms 43 >
1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
Wundungisa, a Nzambi, ayi wunzonzila mu mambu mama kuidi dikanda di batu dinkambu kinzikanga mambu maku. Wukhula mu batu ba luvunu ayi batu bambimbi.
2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo zingolo ziama. Bila mbi wundozidi e? Bila mbi mfueti diatilanga mu phasi, yamusungu kuidi mbeni e?
3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
Fidisa kiezila ayi Kiedika kiaku; bila bindiatisa, bika bindata ku mongo aku wunlongo ayi nate ku buangu kioki weti vuanda.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
Buna ndiela kuenda ku ntala wu Nzambi; kuidi Nzambi khini ama ayi yangalala kuama. Buna ndiela kunzitisa mu ngitala, A Nzambi, Nzambi ama.
5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Saviour, my helper, and my God.
Bila mbi vongidi bobo, a muelꞌala e? Bila mbi wulembo niongina mu khati ama e? Tula diana diaku mu Nzambi bila ndiela kunzitisa diaka, Mvulusi ama ayi Nzambi ama.
