Psalms 71
1 Mu ngeyo, a Yave, ndisuamina kadi tala ti ndifua tsoni kadi khumbu yimosi!
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 Wukhudi ayi wuphukisa mu busonga buaku balula dikutu diaku kuidi minu ayi phukisa.
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
3 Ba ditadi diama diodi di kutsuekanga; momo ndilenda kuenda mu zithangu zioso vana lutumunu mu kuphukisa bila widi ditadi diama ayi tinunu kiama ki ngolo.
Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
4 Wukhudi Nzambi ama mu mioko mi batu bambimbi; mu mioko mi batu bamvanganga mambimbi ayi mu batu badi tsita.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
5 Bila ngeyo wuba diana diama, a Yave, ngeyo wumvanganga moso wuzodidi. Diana diama tona mu bumuana buama.
For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 Tona ndibutuka, mu ngeyo ndieti singimina; ngeyo wuthotula tona mu vumu ki ngudi ama; Ngeyo ndiela zitisanga mu zithangu zioso.
I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
7 Ndieka banga diambu di siminina kuidi bawombo, vayi ngeyo suamunu kiama kingolo.
I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 Munu ama widi wuwala mu nzitusu aku wunyamikisa kiezila kiaku mu lumbu kimvimba.
My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9 Kadi kundoza mu thangu ndieka nunu; kadi kundiekula mu thangu zingolo ziama zilembu suki!
Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Bila bambeni ziama zilembo thubidila bobo balembo tombi kuphonda, balembo wizana va kimosi,
For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11 balembo tubi: “Nzambi wunyekudi, nlandakananu, bila kuisi ko mutu wufueti ku nkula.”
saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12 Kadi ba thama ayi minu, a Nzambi, yiza nsualu Nzambi ama mu kutsadisa!
Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13 Bika mimfundi miama mibungana mu tsoni; bika bobo bantomba kuphanga phasi baba ba lenzo ayi dio kombolo.
May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 Vayi kuidi minu, ndiela tulanga kaka diana mu zithangu zioso buela kuzitisanga ngolo.
But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15 Munu ama wela yolukila busonga buaku ayi phulusu aku mu lumbu kimvimba, bila ndikadi zaba tezo biawu.
My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16 Ndiela kuiza ayi yamikisa mavanga maku ma lulendo; a Yave, mutu wumvanganga makazodidi ndiela yamikisa busonga buaku; busonga buaku kaka.
I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Tona mu bumuana buama, a Nzambi, ngeyo wundonga ayi ye lumbu kiaki yayi ndinyamikisanga matsiminanga maku.
O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
18 Bobuawu, bu ndiela nuna ayi zitsuki ziphembi kadi ku ndiekula, a Nzambi. Muingi nditubila lulendo luaku kuidi tsungi yinkuiza, zingolo ziaku kuidi babo bela kuiza.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
19 Busonga buaku buntula nate ku diyilu, a Nzambi. Ngeyo wuvanga mambu manneni; nani a Nzambi widi banga ngeyo e?
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20 Ngeyo wumbonisa ziphasi ziwombo ayi zindudi; wela buela kuphutudila luzingu; tona ku tsi ntoto, ngeyo wela buela kuthotula.
Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
21 Wela buela wokisa nzitusu ama, ayi buela ku khindisa diaka.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22 Ndiela kuzitisa mu ngitala mu diambu di kikhuikizi kiaku, a Nzambi ama; ndiela kuyimbidila minzitusu mu Lila. Ngeyo nlongo wu Iseli.
So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Bididi biama biela yimbila mu diambu di khini mu thangu ndiela kuyimbidila minzitusu, minu mutu wowo wukula.
When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
24 Ludimi luama luela yolukila mavanga maku masonga mu lumbu kimvimba, Bila bobo bantomba kumbonisa phasi bela fua tsoni ayi bela ba dio kombolo.
My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
