Psalms 81
1 Nkunga Asafi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu ngitala yi basi Ngati. Yimbidilanu Nzambi mu khini; niandi zingolo zieto! Yamikinanu kuidi Nzambi yi Yakobi!
TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Tonanu miziki, sikanu zindungu; Bulanu minningu mu Ngitala ayi lu Lila.
Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
3 Sikanu phoka yi dimemi va ntotukila ngondi yi mona; ayi Ngondi bu yidi yiduka ayi mu lumbu ki nyengo eto!
Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
4 Yayi yidi nzengolo mu diambu di Iseli, ayi tsikudukusu yi Nzambi yi Yakobi,
For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Wukindisa yawu banga nsiku mu diambu di Zozefi mu thangu kanuanisa tsi yi Ezipite… Kuna tuwa mbembo yoyi tusia sudika ko.
He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.
6 Tubidi: “Ndibotudi mfuna wubedi va mavangiti mawu. Ayi babotudi pani kibedi mu mioko miandi.
I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
7 Mu ziphasi ziaku, ngeyo wutela ayi ndikula ndivana mvutu ku tsi dumu ki matuti nditota ku minlangu mi Meliba.
In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Wanu beno batu bama, ayi ndiela kululubula: enati beno luzola ku ndimba, a Iseli.
Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
9 Kulendi ba kadi nzambi yi nzenza ko va khatitsikꞌaku. Kulendi buongimina nzambi yi nzenza ko!
There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
10 Minu ndidi Yave, Nzambi, yoyi yilutotula mu tsi Ezipite; zibula bumboti munu aku ayi ndiela ku wuwesa.
I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
11 Vayi batu bama basia zola ku ndimba ko; Iseli kasia kuthumukina ko.
But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
12 Buna ndiba yekula mu mintima miawu mingolo; mu landakana zikhanu ziawu veka.
And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
13 Enati batu bama bandima kuama, enati Iseli wuzola landakana zinzila ziama!
O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
14 Nganu mu nsualu ndieka tumbu kuba yekudila bambeni ziawu ayi balula koko kuama kuidi bobo beti kuba lenda.
As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
15 Bobo beti lenda Yave balenda kukikulula va ntualꞌandi ayi nganu thumbudulu awu yela zingilanga mu zithangu zioso;
Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
16 Vayi nganu ngeyo wudikulu mu ble yilutidi kitoko, mu niosi yintotukila mu ditadi, ndiela kuyukutisila.”
He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
