Psalms 4
1 Nkunga Davidi, kayimbidila mu bisiku bi zitsinga mu diambu di pfumu minyimbidi. Wuphutudila mvutu bu ndilembo kutedi, a Nzambi ama yisonga ayi wutsadisa bu ndidi mu phasi; wumboni kiadi, wa lusambulu luama.
For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by string instruments. When I call, please answer me, God who vindicates me. When I was hemmed in by troubles, you gave me a way out. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Nate thangu mbi luela, tatamana fuisa nkembo ama tsoni e? Nate thangu mbi luela tatamana zodilanga vanga mambu ma phamba ayi tombanga zinzambi zi luvunu e?
How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
3 Luzaba mboti ti Yave wukisobudidi mutu wumosi wunkinzikanga mambu mandi. Yave wela wa mu thangu ndiela kuntela.
You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
4 Ku tsi nganzi eno, kadi vola masumu. Mu thangu luidi mu zimbuka zieno, lufiongunina mintima mieno bosi luba dio sui.
Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
5 Lutambika makaba ma busonga, ayi lutula diana dieno mu Yave.
Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
6 Bawombo balembo tubi: “Nani wulenda kutumonisa mamboti e?” Bika kiezila ki zizi kiaku kitukienzula, a Yave!
Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
7 Wuwesidi khini yiwombo mu ntimꞌama, viokila yoyi yiba yawu mu thangu baba ble yiwombo ayi vinu kiwombo
The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
8 Ndiela lambadala ayi ndiela leka tulu mu ndembama bila ngeyo veka kaka, a Yave bila ngeyo veka kaka wukuphuandisanga mu luvovomo.
I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
