Psalms 121

1 Nkunga wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Ndimvumbulanga meso mama ku miongo, kuevi kuela totukila lusadusu luama e?

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

2 Lusadusu luama luntotukila kuidi Yave; mvangi wu diyilu ayi ntoto.

My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

3 Kalendi bika ko kulu kuaku kusialumuka; mutu wowo weti kukebanga kalendi niungina ko.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Bukiedika, mutu wowo weti sunga Iseli, kalendi niungina ko voti leka tulu ko

Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Yave niandi wukusunganga, niandi kitsusula kiaku va koko kuaku ku lubakala.

YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.

6 Thangu yilendi ku vanga ko mbimbi va muini voti ngondi va builu.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Yave wela kukebanga mu mambimbi moso, niandi wela sunganga luzingu luaku.

YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

8 Yave wela kusunga mu kuiza kuaku ayi mu kuenda kuaku tona buabu nate mu zithangu zioso.

YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
