Psalms 19
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Diyilu dieti samuna nkembo wu Nzambi ayi matuti meti yamikisa kisalu ki mioko miandi.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2 Kadika Lumbu kinyamikisa mambu beni kuidi lumbu kinkaka; ayi builu bumosi bueti ma zabikisa kuidi builu bunkaka.
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3 Kuisi ko mambu mayoluka voti mambu masadila; Kunkambu wakana zimbembo ziawu.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
4 Zimbembo ziawu zieti wakana va ntoto wumvimba. Mambu mawu beti yoluka meti tula nate ku sukisina nza. Ku diyilu katungila nzo yi ngoto mu diambu di thangu:
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 Yawu yidi banga dibakala dikuela dintotuka va ntuala vinga kiandi, banga dikesa, dieti mona khini mu zawula thinu;
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6 Yintotukilanga ku tsongi yi Diyilu, bosi ku tsongi yinkaka kuawu kamanisinanga nzietolo andi. Kuisiko kima kinsuamanga va ntuala diamu diandi.
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 Mina mi Yave midi mifuana, mieti vananga diaka muela luzingu Zinzengolo zi Yave zidi zi kiedika Zinkitulanga mutu wu phamba mutu wu nduenga.
Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Minsiku mi Yave midi mi songa, minyangidikanga ntima. Zithumunu zi Yave zidi zivedila, zinkienzulanga meso.
Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Kinzika Yave didi diambu di vedila, dieti zingila mu zithangu zioso. Zitsikudukusu zi Yave zilenda siwulu diana, zizioso zidi zisonga va kimosi;
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10 Zilutidi thalu ayi nolo; ayi viokila zinolo ziwombo zivedila zilutidi niosi mu lueki; zilutidi yoyi yinkumba mu bisila.
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11 Mu ziawu mueti lubukila kisadi kiaku; mfutu wunneni widi mu kuzikebanga.
Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Nani wulenda sudika zinzimbala ziandi e? Lemvukila zinzimbala ziama zisuama.
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13 Keba kisadi kiaku mu masumu mamvangimina mu luzolo; mabika ku ndiadila; buna ndiela ba wukambu tsembolo; wukambu zaba diambu mu masumu manneni.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14 Bika mambu ma munuꞌama ayi mayindu ma ntimꞌama maba ma khini va ntualꞌaku A Yave, ditadi diama ayi nkudi ama.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
