Psalms 68
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Nzambi katelama; bika bambeni bandi zisasukusu ayi bobo beti kunlenda bantina va ntualꞌandi.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
2 Banga bueti lalikinina muisi mu phemo, bika wuba lalikisa; banga bueta siutila sile ku mbazu bika batu bambimbi babungana va meso ma Nzambi.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Vayi bika batu basonga bamona khini; ayi bayangalala va ntuala Nzambi, bika bamona mayangi ayi khini yingolo.
But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Yimbidilanu Nzambi; yimbidilanu minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diandi; yayisanu mutu wowo wundiatila va phunda mu matuti Dizina diandi Yave; ayi lumona khini va ntualꞌandi.
Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him!
5 Nzambi niandi widi dise di bisana ayi niandi weti nuanina mafuola. Mu buangu kiandi kinlongo kioki keti vuanda.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Nzambi wumvananga dikanda kuidi bobo badi bawu veka; niandi weti tuadisa basi nloko mu ngimbudulu vayi bankua matingu bawu banzingilanga mu ntoto wu yuma.
God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 Mu thangu wutuaminina batu baku ku ntuala, a Nzambi, mu thangu mu dikanga,
God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
8 ntoto wunikuka, diyilu dinokisa mvula va ntualꞌaku. Va ntuala Nzambi, mutu wu Sinayi va ntuala Nzambi, Nzambi yi Iseli.
The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Ngeyo wunokisa masala mawombo, a Nzambi; ngeyo wukindisa kiuka kiaku mu thangu kivonga.
You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10 Batu baku bavuanda muawu A Nzambi, mu mamboti maku, ngeyo wukubika bima mu diambu di nsukami.
Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11 Yave wutuba diambu dimosi: batu bawombo bamonika mu yamikisa mawu.
The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12 Mintinu ayi minkangu mi masodi milembo tini mu thinu nsualu, mu bika bi batu, batu bakabula biobi baziona mu mvita.
“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13 Lukidi kueno leki va khatitsika bidikulu bi bibulu mavavi ma dibembi diama mavindu palata, zitsala ziandi zivindu nolo yilembo lezama.
while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14 Thangu Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso kasasikisa mintinu va ntoto, yiba banga yi matadi ma phembi.
When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15 Miongo mi Basani midi miongo mi nzitusu; miongo mi Basani midi miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo.
The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16 A bila mbi luntadila mu kikhenene, e beno miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo; mongo wowo kasobula mu yadila, kuna niandi veka Yave kela vuandanga mu zithangu zioso.
Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17 Matoma ma mvita ma Yave madi dikumi di zimili ayi zimili yi zimili; Yave wutotukila ku Sinayi mu buangu kiandi kinlongo.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18 Thangu wukuma ku yilu, wunata mu ntandꞌaku batu bakangama. Wutambula makaba kuidi batu ayi kuidi bankua matingu muingi ngeyo, a Yave Nzambi wuvuanda kuna.
You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19 Nzitusu kuidi Yave, kuidi Nzambi mvulusi eto. Niandi weti kutunatina bizitu bieto lumbu ka lumbu. Niandi Nzambi wukutuvananga phulusu.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Nzambi eto widi Nzambi weti vukisa. Yave, mutu wumvanganga momo kazodidi, wumvukisanga mu lufua.
God is to us a God of deliverance. To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21 Bukiedika, Nzambi wela kosikisa mintu mi bambeni bandi; wela kosikisa mintu mi batu bobo badi zitsuki ziwombo, bobo bandiatilanga mu masumu mawu.
But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22 Pfumu tubidi: “Ndiela kuba totula mu Basani, ndiela kuba totula ku tsina yi mbu,
The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23 Muingi wubuika malu maku mu menga ma bobo beti kulenda ayi ludimi lu zimbua ziaku lubaka kuku kiawu.”
that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24 Ndiatulu aku yimonika, a Nzambi. Ndiatulu yi Nzambi ama, ayi yi ntinu ama mu buangu kinlongo.
They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Minyimbidi miba ku ntuala; bosi minsiki mi miziki miba landakana, miba va kimosi bana ba baketo bansika zindungu.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
26 Bika luzitisa Nzambi mu lukutukunu lunneni, Luzitisa Yave mu dikabu di Iseli!
“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27 Kuna kuidi dikanda di fioti di Benzami, wuba tuadisa, kuna kuba batu bawombo banneni ba Yuda ayi batu banneni ba Zabuloni ayi ba Nefitali.
There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Tumina lulendo luaku, a Nzambi. Wutumonisa zingolo ziaku, a Nzambi banga bobo wutuama vangila.
Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29 Mu diambu di nzo aku ku Yelusalemi; mintinu miela kunatina makaba.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
30 Tubidila bulu va khatitsika masoso nkangu zingombi zi mbakala va khatitsika bana zingombi zi makanda. Bu kakululu, wulenda nata bitini bi palata. Sasikisa makanda mona khini mu nuana mvita!
Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 Batu bafidusu bela totukila mu Ezipite; Kusi wela kukiyekula niandi veka ku tsi minsua mi Nzambi.
Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32 Yimbidilanu Nzambi beno bipfumu bi ntoto; yimbilanu minzitusu kuidi Yave;
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord— (Selah)
33 Kuidi mutu wowo wundiatila banga va mbata phunda mu diyilu, mu diyilu di khulu. Mutu wowo wulembo dumu mu mbembo yi lulendo.
to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Luyamikisa lulendo lu Nzambi nzitusu andi widi va mbata Iseli lulendo luandi luidi mu matuti.
Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
35 Tsisi widi, a Nzambi, mu buangu kiaku kinlongo. Nzambi yi Iseli niandi weti vana lulendo ayi zingolo kuidi batu bandi. Nzitusu wuba kuidi Nzambi.
You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
