Psalms 104
1 Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama. A Yave, Nzambi ama, ngeyo widi wunneni ngolo. Ngeyo vueti kiezila ayi nzitusu.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you have clothed yourself with praise and honor:
2 Niandi wukifukidi muinda banga nledi; weti yalumuna diyilu banga nzo yi ngoto,
who do robe yourself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.
3 ayi wutunga makunzi ma bivinga biandi bizangama va minlangu miawu. Niandi weti kitula matuti ditoma diandi di sengo ayi weti diatila mu mavavi ma phemo.
Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.
4 Wunkitulanga phemo bamvuala bandi, minlaki mi mbazu bisadi biandi.
Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.
5 Wuvuandisa ntoto va zifondasio ziandi; wulendi nikuka ko kadi fifioti.
Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.
6 Ngeyo wufukidila wawu mu thipula banga ngeyo wumfukididi nledi, Minlangu mitelama nate ku mbata miongo.
The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.
7 Vayi bu wutema, minlangu mitina, mu biyoko bi dumu kiaku, miawu mitina.
At your rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of your thunder they shall be alarmed.
8 Mikumbila va mbata miongo, mibua nate mu mindimba ku buangu kioki wukubikila miawu.
They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which you have founded for them.
9 Ngeyo wumitudila zindilu ziozi ka milendi sabuka ko; milendi buela diamisa ntoto ko.
You have set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.
10 Niandi wukubika zitho zi minlangu mu zikhola zinkumbanga va khatitsika miongo.
He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.
11 Zilembo vani nlangu kuidi bibulu bioso bi tsola, ziphunda zi nsitu zimanisinanga phuilꞌawu.
They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.
12 Zinuni zi yilu zintunganga dianla mu yenda minlangu, zieti yimbila va khatitsika matafi.
By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.
13 Wulembo lembila miongo tona ku bivinga biandi bizangama; ntoto wuyukutidi mu mbutu wu kisalu kiandi.
He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 Niandi weti menisa biti mu diambu di bibulu, ayi bikunusu mu diambu di batu bakuna, ayi totulanga bidia mu ntoto:
He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;
15 vinu kieti yangidika ntima wu mutu, mafuta meta kienzula zizi kiandi ayi dipha dieti kindisa ntimꞌandi.
and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.
16 Minti mi Yave midi milembolo bumboti; minti mi sedeli mi tsi Libani miomi kakuna.
The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.
17 Muawu zinuni zieti tungila zindiala ziawu; nuni beti tedila ngongo yitungila nzo andi mu minti mimbutanga zimbala zi phutu.
There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
18 Miongo mi nangama mivuiwulu kuidi zikhombo zi nsitu; zithadi zidi suamunu mu diambu di bibulu bieti tedolo damani.
The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.
19 Ngondi yeti vasa zitsungi, ayi thangu zebi thangu mbi kafueti diamina.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
20 Ngeyo weti nata tombi, buisi bueti yila ayi buna bibulu bioso bi nsitu bilembo diengila-diengila.
You did make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:
21 Zikhosi zillembo kungi mu diambu di biobi zifueti buila ayi zieti tomba bidia biawu kuidi Nzambi.
[even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.
22 Thangu yawu totuka, buna zivengumukini; zivutukidi ayi zilekidi mu minsuku miawu.
The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.
23 Buna mutu weti kuenda ku kisalu kiandi, ku kisalu kiandi nate buisi bu nyila.
Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labor till evening.
24 Phila bisalu biaku bididi woka, a Yave; mu nduenga wuvangila bibioso ntoto wufulukidi mu bivangu biaku.
How great are your works, O Lord! in wisdom have you wrought them all: the earth is filled with your creation.
25 Vadi mbu wumosi, wunneni ayi wuyalumuka; muwedi bivangu ka bilendi baka bu tangulu ko; bima bimoyo bifioti ayi binneni.
[So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.
26 Muawu mu nkuendilanga ayi vutukilanga masuwa; ayi Leviatani, bulu kioki wuvanga, muawu kieti sakinina.
There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom you have made to play in it.
27 Bibioso bikutalanga muingi wuba vananga bidia biawu mu thangu yifuana.
All wait upon you, to give them [their] food in due season.
28 Thangu weti kubivana bidia, bieti bonga biawu; ngeyo zibula koko kuaku, bieti yukuta mu bima bimboti.
When you have given [it] them, they will gather [it]; and when you have opened your hand, they shall all be filled with good.
29 Ngeyo sueka zizi kiaku, buna bieka mona tsisi. Ngeyo biziona vumunu kiawu, buna bieti fua ayi bieti vutuka mu mbungi-mbungi.
But when you have turned away your face, they shall be troubled: you will take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.
30 Ngeyo fidisa vumunu kiaku, buna bivangimini ayi ngeyo weti kitula diaka zizi ki ntoto kimona.
You shall send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created; and you shall renew the face of the earth.
31 Bika Nkembo wu Nzambi wuzingila mu zithangu zioso; bika Yave kayangalala mu bisalu biandi!
Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works;
32 Niandi wuntalanga ku ntoto, ayi ntoto wulembo titi. Niandi wulembo simba miongo ayi milembo totula muisi.
who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 Ndiela yimbidilanga Yave mu luzingu luama loso. Ndiela yimbidilanga Nzambi ama minzitusu thangu yoso yi luzingu luama.
I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.
34 Bika mambu mama ndinyindula mammonisa khini banga phila ndilembo muena khini mu Yave.
Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.
35 Vayi bika bankua masumu balalukusu va ntoto, ayi bika batu bambimbi babika buela monika! Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama! Bika Yave kazitusu!
Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
