Psalms 59
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi “Kadi vonda” mu thangu Sawuli kafidisa batu bazungidila nzo Davidi mu diambu bamvonda. Wukhula mu bambeni ziama, a Nzambi; wukhebi mu diambu bobo bamfuemini!
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
2 Wukhudi mu mimvangi mi mambimbi ayi wuphukisa mu mintengudi mi menga.
Deliver me from the doers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood!
3 Tala phila balambididi mu kuphingila. Batu badi ngolo bandiendidi manenga bika sia ti mu diambu di nzimbala yama voti mu diambu di disumu diama, a Nzambi.
For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
4 Kadi mbimbi ndisia vanga ko vayi bakubimini mu kunduanisa kotuka mu kutsadisa tala phila ndikila.
Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
5 A Yave, Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso, Nzambi yi Iseli, kotuka mu tumbudila makanda moso; kadi mona kadi kiadi kuidi bobo beti vanga mambimbi.
Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! (Pause)
6 Bamvutukanga va masika, beti lola banga zimbua; ayi beti zungidila divula.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
7 Tala, momo balembo luki mu miunu miawu. Bisabala bidi mu bididi biawu. Ayi balembo tubi: “Nani wulenda kutu wa e?”
Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; “For who,” say they, “will hear?”
8 Vayi ngeyo, a Yave, wulenda basevi; wulembo sekinina makanda moso momo.
Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
9 E ngolo ziama, kuidi ngeyo ndintala, ngeyo, e Nzambi, widi tinunu kiama ki ngolo.
O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
10 Nzambi ama, wukuphangilanga mamboti Nzambi ama yi luzolo wela kundengana; Nzambi wela diata va ntuala ama ayi wela kumbonisa khini vadi bobo bakuthubidilanga.
My God will come to meet me with his mercy; God will cause me to look with joy upon my enemies.
11 Vayi kadi kuba vonda, a Yave, nkaku eto, bila muna batu bama bela zimbakana. Mu lulendo luaku, baba mindiengidi ayi wuba buisi.
Slay them not, lest my people forget; Scatter them by thy power, and cast them down, O Lord, our shield!
12 Mu diambu di masumu ma muinu miawu, mu diambu di mambu ma bididi biawu, bika babuilama mu luniemo luawu. Mu diambu di zitsingulu ayi luvunu beti totula,
The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which they utter!
13 Wuba lalikisa mu nganzi aku yi kikhesa; wuba lalikisa muingi babika buela monika buna diela zabakana mu zitsuka zi ntoto ti Nzambi wunyadila Yakobi.
Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! (Pause)
14 Bamvutukanga va masika, beti lola banga zimbua, ayi beti zungidila divula.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
15 Bandiengilanga mu diambu di bidia, ayi enati bakadi yukuta, buna banyamikinanga.
Let them wander about for food, When they have passed the night unsatisfied!
16 Vayi minu, ndiela yimbidila zingolo ziaku; muna nsuka, ndiela yimbidila luzolo luaku bila ngeyo tinunu kiama kingolo ayi suamunu mu zithangu zi ziphasi.
But I will sing of thy power; Yea, in the morning will I sing aloud of thy mercy; For thou hast been my defence, My refuge in the day of my distress.
17 A ngeyo zingolo ziama, ndinyimbila nzitusu mu diambu diaku; ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo tinunu kiama kingolo; Nzambi ama yi luzolo.
To thee, O my Strength! will I sing! For God is my defence; a God of mercy to me.
