Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

Luzitisa Yave; Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama.

2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

Ndiela zitisanga Yave mu luzingu luama loso; ndiela yimbidilanga Nzambi ama minzitusu thangu yoso ndizingila.

3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Kadi tula diana dieno mu bana ba mintinu, mu batu bobo beti fua, bobo balendi vukisa ko.

4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

Pheve awu yawu kuenda buna beti vutuka mu ntoto; zikhanu ziawu zilalikini.

5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo widi ti Nzambi yi Yakobi niandi nsadisi andi; wuntulanga diana diandi mu Yave, Nzambi andi,

6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

mvangi wu diyilu, ntoto, mbu ayi bibio bidi muna; widi wukuikama mu zithangu zioso.

7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

Niandi weti vavila mambu ma bobo beti yamusu, ayi wumvananga bidia kuidi bobo badi nzala; Yave niandi weti totula batu bobo badi mu nloko.

8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

Yave weti vana kiezila kuidi phofo, Yave weti vumbula bobo badi bakomvama. Yave weti zola batu basonga.

9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

Yave weti sunga nzenza, niandi wunkindisanga muana sana ayi difuola vayi weti kakumukina zinzila zi batu bambimbi.

10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

Yave wunyalanga mu zithangu zioso. Nzambi aku, a Sioni, mu zitsungi zioso. Luzitisa Yave.
