Psalms 55
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi, kayimbidila. Dimba lusambulu luama, a Nzambi; ayi kadi zimbakana mambu mama.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David to give instruction. Heare my prayer, O God, and hide not thy selfe from my supplication.
2 Wunguila ayi wuphani mvutu; mayindu mama malembo mbonisa phasi ayi ndilembo sambi;
Hearken vnto me, and answere me: I mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse,
3 mu diambu di mbembo yi mbeni; mu diambu di yamusu ku mutu wumbimbi bila minu beti yekikilanga ziphasi bila balembo mfingi mu nganzi awu.
For the voyce of the enemie, and for the vexation of ye wicked, because they haue brought iniquitie vpon me, and furiously hate me.
4 Ntimꞌama widi mu maniongo mu minu; ayi boma bu lufua lu mbuididi.
Mine heart trembleth within mee, and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me.
5 Tsisi ayi lukhuku bieka mu minu ayi boma bu ngolo bumbuididi.
Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me.
6 Buna ndituba: “Enati ndiba ayi mavavi ma dibembi nganu ndieka tumbu dumuka ayi ba mu luvundulu.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest.
7 Nganu, ndiela tinina ku thama, ayi vuanda ku dikanga.
Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. (Selah)
8 Ndiela tina nsualu mu tomba suamunu ku buangu kikambulu phemo yingolo ayi vuka kingolo.”
Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest.
9 Kotisa batu bambimbi mu divuda, A Yawe ayi vunzikisa mambu mawu bantuba. Bila ndilembo moni makhemi ayi ziphaka mu divula.
Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie.
10 Muini ayi builu, makhemi ayi ziphaka bizungidila bibaka bi divula; diela dimbimbi ayi kambu dukisa zitsila bieka mu khati divula.
Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it.
11 Mbivusu kiawu kisalu kieka mu khati divula; khuamusu ayi luvunu bikadi botuka mu zinzila zi divula.
Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes.
12 Enati mbeni wumfingidi nganu ndikimba moyo; enati mutu wukundendanga niandi weti kukiniemisa va ntualꞌama nganu ndisuama kuama va ntualꞌama.
Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him.
13 Vayi ngeyo, mutu banga minu wundiatanga yama va kimosi; nkundi ama wu kuikama;
But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar:
14 mutu wowo wubedi kalanga yama mu khini; wubedi kibanga va kimosi ayi nkangu wu batu ku Nzo Nzambi!
Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions.
15 Bika lufua lu bibuila bambeni ziama mu kinzimbukila ayi bika bakuluka bamoyo ku tsi bafua! Bila mambimbi mabakudi buangu va khatitsikꞌawa, (Sheol h7585)
Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Mbadi minu, ndintela Nzambi, ayi Yave wuphukisidi.
But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me.
17 Yiba nsuka, midi ayi masika, Ndieti yamikina mu ziphasi; ayi weti wa mbembo ama.
Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and make a noyse, and he wil heare my voice.
18 Wukukhulanga wumbimba, mu kambu sumbula mu mvita yi banduanisa ka diambu ko bawombo banduanisa.
He hath deliuered my soule in peace from the battel, that was against me: for many were with me.
19 Nzambi wunyadila va kundu kiandi ki luyalu mu zithangu zioso wela kuba wa ayi wela kuba monisa phasi; batu bobo balendi balula zinzila ziawu ko ayi bakinzikanga Nzambi ko.
God shall heare and afflict them, euen hee that reigneth of olde, (Selah) because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God.
20 Mutu wundiatanga yama wulembo nuanisa bakundi bandi wubundula Nguizani andi.
Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant.
21 Mambu mandi ndelo madi banga dibela muaki mvita yidi mu ntimꞌandi; Mambu mandi madi malebila viokila mafuta muaki madi banga bisabala bikubimini mu vonda.
The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his words were more gentle then oyle, yet they were swordes.
22 Yekula bizitu biaku kuidi Yave, niandi wela kukindisa; kalendi tala ko ti mutu wusonga kabua.
Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and hee shall nourish thee: he wil not suffer the righteous to fall for euer.
23 Vayi ngeyo Nzambi, wela buisa batu bambimbi; mintengudi mi menga ayi bankua livunu bela dukisa ko ndambu yi bilumbu biawu; vayi minu diana diama didi mu ngeyo.
And thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption: the bloudie, and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes: but I will trust in thee.
