Psalms 36
1 Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Mambu ma Nzambi madi mu ntimꞌama Mu mambu matedi disumu di mutu wumbimbi: kuisi ko mambu ma kinzikila Nzambi va meso mandi.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Bila va meso mandi veka, weti kukiniemisa buwombo mu bakula voti lenda masumu mandi.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3 Mambu ma munuꞌandi madi mambimbi ayi ma luvunu. Wulembo kuandi buela ba nkua nduenga ayi bueba vanga mamboti.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
4 Bu kadi va mbukꞌandi, wunyindulanga mambu mambimbi. Weti kukiyekula niandi veka mu nzila yi masumu kalozanga ko mambu mambimbi.
He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.
5 Luzolo luaku, a Yave, lueti tula nate ku diyilu kikhuikizi kiaku nate mu matuti
Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
6 Busonga buaku buidi banga miongo minda; zinzengolo ziaku zidi banga dibulu dinneni. O Yave, ngeyo wunkebanga mutu ayi bulu.
Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.
7 Tala phila luzolo luaku lu ngolo lukambu thalu! Luidi luzangulu ayi lukululu va khatitsika batu bobo bansuaminanga ku tsi phozi yi mavevi maku.
How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Beti tula minyengo mu wombo di bima bi nzo aku ayi ngeyo wukubanuikinanga mu nlangu wu makhini maku.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Bila kuidi ngeyo kuidi tho yi luzingu. Mu kiezila kiaku, tulembo moni kiezila.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Landakana vanga luzolo luaku kuidi bawu bazebi ayi busonga buaku kuidi bawu badi mintima mi lulama.
Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;
11 Bika kulu ku nkua luniemo kubika kumbakidila; voti bika koko ku mutu wumbimbi kubika kuthinisa thama.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Tala phila yilembo buila bisadi bi mambu mambimbi; balumbulu va tsi ayi balendi buela telama ko.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
