Psalms 27
1 Nkunga Davidi. Yave niandi kiezila kiama ayi phulusu ama. Nani ndilenda mona tsisi e? Yave niandi suamunu kingolo mu luzingu luama. Nani ndilenda mona boma e?
A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Mu thangu batu bambimbi, bela kuiza ku ntualꞌama mu diambu di dia nsuni ama; mu thangu bambeni ziama ayi bobo bandendi bela kuiza kunduanisa, bela bumina thutu ayi bela bua.
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
3 Ka diambu ko nkangu wu masodi wunzungididi, ntimꞌama wulendi mona tsisi ko; Ka diambu ko mvita yibuidi mu diambu diama, ndilendi zimbisa diana ko.
Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.
4 Kima kimosi ndilomba kuidi Yave, kiawu ndintomba: Thidi vuanda mu bilumbu bioso bi luzingu luama mu nzo Yave, mu diambu nditalanga kitoko ki Yave ayi mu diambu ndintombannga mu nzo andi.
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the graciousness of the LORD, and to visit early in His temple.
5 Bila mu lumbu ki ziphasi wela ku kheba mu luvovomo mu buangu kiandi kamvuandanga; wela kutsueka ku tsi Nzoꞌandi yi ngoto; wela kuthedimisa va ditadi di ngolo.
For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil; He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.
6 Buna ntu ama wulenda vumuka va yilu bambeni ziama zinzungididi. Mu nzoꞌandi yi ngoto, ndiela tambika makaba mu khini. Ndiela yimbila ayi bula miziki mu diambu di Yave.
And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Wa mbemboꞌama bu ndilembo tedi, a Yave; wumboni kiadi ayi wuphana mvutu.
Hear, O LORD, when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
8 Ntimꞌama wutubidi mu diambu diaku: “Tomba zizi kiandi.” Zizi kiaku, a Yave, kiawu ndiela tomba.
In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Kadi kutsueka zizi kiaku. Bika kuka kisadi kiaku mu nganzi. Ngeyo wuba nsadisi ama kadi kumbika, kadi kundiekula. A Nzambi yi Mvulusi ama.
Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger; Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Ka diambu ko dise diama ayi ngudi ama bandiekudi; Yave wela kundiakula.
For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the LORD will take me up.
11 Wundonga nzilꞌaku, a Yave ayi wundiatisa mu nsolo wu songa mu diambu di batu bobo beti kundiamisa.
Teach me Thy way, O LORD; and lead me in an even path, because of them that lie in wait for me.
12 Kadi kundiekula mu luzolo lu batu bobo beti kundenda, bila bambangi ba luvunu zitelimini mu diambu diama, ayi zieti yindula matsita.
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
13 Ndisia diana mu diambu diadi: Ndiela mona mamboti ma Yave va ntoto wu batu badi moyo.
If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! —
14 Tadidila Yave! Wukikindisa ayi bika ntimꞌaku wukinda; ayi tadidila Yave.
Wait on the LORD; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the LORD.
