Psalms 56
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu “Dibembi di minti midi ku zitsi zi thama” mu thangu basi Filisti bankanga mu tsi Ngati. Wumboni kiadi, A Nzambi bila batu balembo ndandakana mu kingolo; mu lumbu kimvimba; balembo luti buela kunduanisa
For the music director. According to “Dove on Distant Oaks.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time the Philistines captured him in Gath. God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long.
2 Mimvuezi miama milembo ndandakani mu lumbu kimvimba Bawombo balembo nduanisa mu luniemo luawu.
My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.
3 Mu thangu ndimmona tsisi; ndiela tula diana diama mu ngeyo.
But when I'm afraid, I trust in you.
4 Mu Nzambi, mutu vuidi mambu ndieti zitisa Mu Nzambi ndieti tula diana; ndilendi mona tsisi ko, Mutu wowo wumfuanga, mbi kalenda kuphanga e?
I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
5 Mu lumbu kimvimba, beti balula mambu mama; balembo yindula mu zithangu zioso mu kumbonisa phasi.
They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me.
6 Balembo kutakana; balembo suami balembo fiongunina zithambi ziama, mu nsualu-nsualu batidi bonga luzingu luama.
They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me.
7 Balendi vukila kani mu kipholo kiawu kimosi ko e? Mu nganzi aku, a Nzambi, bedisa makanda
Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down!
8 Sonika maniongo mama Lunda matsuela mama mu khutu aku. Masi ko mu lutangu luaku e?
You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one.
9 Buna bambeni ziela vutikisa ku mbusa mu thangu ndiela tela mu tomba lusadusu. Mu diadi diela zabila ti Nzambi widi ku ndambuꞌama.
Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me!
10 Mu Nzambi mutu vuidi mambu ndieti zitisa Mu Yave, mutu vuidi mambu ndieti zitisa.
I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises.
11 Mu Nzambi nditula diana diama, ndilendi mona tsisi ko; mutu mbi kalenda ku phanga e?
I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
12 Ndidi ku tsi zindefi ziaku, a Nzambi. Ndiela tambika makaba ma phutudulu matondo kuidi ngeyo.
God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you,
13 Bila ngeyo wukhula mu lufua, ayi malu mama mu diambu mabika bumina thutu muingi ndidiatilanga va ntuala Nzambi, mu kiezila ki luzingu.
for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.
