Psalms 32
1 Nkunga Davidi. Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo wulemvokolo nzimbalꞌandi; masumu mandi mafukulu.
David’s An Instructive Psalm. How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned!
2 Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo Yave kankambu ntangila disumu diandi, ayi kambulu bukhita mu pheve andi.
How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!
3 Bu ndiba dio sui, mimvesi miama milebakana mu kunga ku ndiba nkunga mu lumbu kimvimba.
When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;
4 Bila muini ayi builu koko kuaku ziku kuba va minu. Zingolo ziama zisukidi banga mu thangu yi muini wu ngolo.
For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, —Changed was my life-sap into the drought of summer. (Selah)
5 Buna ndizabikisa disumu diama, ndisia fuka mambimbi mama ko. Ndituba: “Ndiela lomba nlemvo mu zinzimbala ziama kuidi Yave.” Buna ngeyo wulemvukila mambimbi ma disumu diama.
My sin, would I own unto thee, and, mine iniquity, not hide, I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Yahweh, And, thou, didst forgive the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Buna diawu bika woso mutu wunkinzikanga mambu maku, wela kusambila mu thangu yoyi kalenda kubakula. Bukiedika mu thangu yi khuka nlangu yingolo milendi kunlalumuna ko.
For this cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, —Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.
7 Ngeyo buangu kiama kieti kutsueka; ngeyo weti kukheba mu ziphasi. Ngeyo wukunzungidilanga mu minkunga mi khudulu.
Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, —With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. (Selah)
8 “Ndiela kumonisa ayi kulonga nzila yoyi fueti diatila, ndiela kuvana ndongi ayi thaluꞌama yela ba vadi ngeyo.
I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.
9 Kadi ba banga phunda voti banga bulu kioki bantedilanga ‘mule’; bibulu bikondolo diela, vayi biobi binkangungu nsinga ayi sengo mu munu bila nganu bilenda fikama va widi.”
Do not ye become like a horse, like a mule, without discernment, —With the bit and bridle of his mouth, [hast thou] to restrain him, —He will not come near unto thee.
10 Mabienga mawombo madi mu diambu di mutu wumbimbi; vayi luzolo lu ngolo lu ma Yave lunzungidilanga mutu wowo wuntulanga diana diandi mu niandi.
Many pains, hath the lawless one, —But, he that trusteth in Yahweh, Lovingkindness, shall compass him about.
11 Monanu khini ayi luyangadala mu Yave beno basonga. Luyimbila, beno boso luidi balulama mu mintima.
Rejoice in Yahweh and exult, O ye righteous, Yea, shout in triumph, all ye upright in heart!
