Psalms 16
1 Nkunga Davidi. A Nzambi, wukheba mu luvovomo bila kuidi ngeyo nditombila suamunu.
A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
2 Kuidi Yave ndituba: “Ngeyo Pfumu ama, kuidi ngeyo kaka kueti banga mamboti mama.”
You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
3 Mu diambu di banlongo bobo badi mu tsi; bawu batu banzitusu. Khini yiwombo baku mbonisanga.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
4 Bobo banlandakananga zinzambi zinkaka kiadi kiawu kiela buelama, voti ndilendi tambika makaba mawu ma menga ko, Ndilendi tanga mazina mawu mu bididi biama ko.
Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
5 Yave ngeyo wuphana ndambu yi kiuka kiama, ayi mbungu ama, ngeyo wunkebanga kuku kiama mu luvovomo.
YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
6 Zindili zikubuku mu diambu diama mu buangu bidi kitoko; bukiedika, thambudi kiuka ki mboti.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
7 Ndiela zitisa Yave; wukuphananga malongi ntimꞌama wukundonganga mu builu,
I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Ndieti tula Yave ku ntualꞌama mu zithangu zioso bila widi ku koko kuama ku lubakala, ndilendi nikuka ko.
I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
9 Diawu ntimꞌama wididi mu khini; ludimi luama lueti yangalala ayi nitu ama yela vunda mu luvovomo;
Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
10 Bila ngeyo wulendi kundiekula ko ku tsi bafua, ayi wulendi tala ko mutu aku wunlongo kabola. (Sheol h7585)
For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ngeyo wumbonisa nsolo wu luzingu; zikhini ziwombo zidi va ntuala zizi kiaku. Wela kumbonisa khini va meso maku va kimosi ayi zikhini zika zisukanga ko zidi va koko kuaku ku lubakala.
You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
