Psalms 31
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Kuidi ngeyo, Yave ndintombila suamunu; kadi khumbu yimosi ndifua tsoni; wukhula mu busonga buaku.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Yinika dikutu diaku kuidi minu, Yiza nsualu, mu kukhula! Kuidi minu, bika wuba ditadi diama dingolo disuamina, suamunu kingolo, mu diambu di kuphukisa.
Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
3 Sumbu didi ti ngeyo ditadi diama dingolo ayi suamunu kiama kingolo. Mu diambu di dizina diaku bika wuthuadisa ayi wundiatisa.
For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
4 Bika wuthotula mu ntambu wu bathambila, bila ngeyo suamunu kiama.
Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
5 Mu mioko miaku ndintambika pheve ama; Wukhula, a Yave, ngeyo Nzambi yi kiedika.
Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou] God of truth.
6 Ndieti lenda bobo bansingiminanga mu bitumba biphamba. Vayi minu diana diama didi mu Yave.
I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
7 Ndiela mona khini ayi ndiela yangalala mu diambu di luzolo luaku; bila wumona ziphasi ziama; wuzaba kiadi ki muelꞌama.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
8 Ayi wusia ku ndiekula ko mu mioko mi mbeni. Vayi ngeyo malu mama va buangu ki yalumuka.
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9 Bika wumbona kiadi, a Yave, bila mu ziphasi ndidi. Meso mama; mabividi mu diambu di maniongo muelꞌama ayi nitu ama bibividi mu diambu di phasi
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
10 Luzingu luama lulembo suki mu kiadi ayi mimvu miama milembo suki mu diambu di kunga. Zingolo ziama zilembo suki mu diambu di ziphasi ziama, ayi mimvesi miama milembo lebakana ngolo.
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
11 Mu diambu di bambeni ziama zioso, ndiyikidi bila ki nlenzo kuidi bobo bafikimini yami ayi bila ki tsisi yiwombo mu diambu di batu bobo bazabini yama. Bobo bakumbona mu nzila balembo tini va ndidi.
More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
12 Banzimbikini banga ti ndifua Ndidi banga nzungu tuma yibudika.
I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
13 Bila ndilembo wi balembo thubidila buwombo ku ndambu ayi tsisi yingolo mu zindambu zioso balembo kutakananga va kimosi mu diambu banduanisa; balembo yendila luzingu luama manenga.
For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
14 Vayi minu, mu ngeyo ndintula diana diama, a Yave, Ndieti tuba: “Ngeyo Nzambi ama.”
But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
15 Bilumbu biama bioso bidi mu mioko miaku; wukhula mu mioko mi bambeni ziama ayi mu mioko mi bobo balembo ndandakana.
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
16 Bika zizi kiaku kikienzukila kisadi kiaku; wuphukisa mu diambu di luzolo luaku lungolo.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
17 Kadi tala ti ndifua tsoni, a Yave, bila kuidi ngeyo ndiyamikina. Vayi bika batu bambimbi bafua tsoni! Bika baba dio sui ku tsi bafua! (Sheol h7585)
Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Bika bididi bintotulanga luvunu biba dio sui; mu luniemo ayi mu mvuezolo beti yolukila mu luyanu kuidi mutu wusonga.
Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
19 A phila, mamboti maku madidi manneni; momo wulundila bobo beti kukinzika; momo wuvangila bobo beti tomba suamunu kuidi ngeyo va ntuala batu.
[Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
20 Va ntuala meso maku, ngeyo weti kuba suekanga mu diambu di mambimbi mayindulanga batu ku buangu kioki wumvuandanga, ngeyo weti kuba keba mu luvovomo mu ludimi lueti funda.
Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave Bila niandi wumbonisini luzolo luandi lungolo mu thangu ndiba mu divula dizungulu kuidi masodi.
Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
22 Mu boma buama minu ndituba: “Minu ndivengumunu thama va ntualꞌaku.” Muaki ngeyo wuwa yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi mu thangu nditela mu diambu di lusadusu.
As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 Bika luzola Yave beno banlongo bandi boso. Yave wunkebanga minkhuikizi Vayi wumvutudilanga mu bufuana bobo badi luniemo.
Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.
24 Lukikindisa ayi bika luba bukhafi mu mintima mieno; beno boso bobo luntulanga diana dieno mu Yave.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
