Psalms 9
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi mu lufua lu muana. Ndiela kuzitisa, a Yave, mu ntimꞌama wumvimba. Ndiela yamikisa matsiminanga maku moso.
For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2 Ndiela mona khini ayi ndiela sakadala mu ngeyo, Ndiela yimbidila nzitusu mu diambu di dizina diaku, ngeyo Nzambi wuzangama.
I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 Bambeni ziama balembo vutukisa ku manima, balembo bumina zithutu ayi balembo bungana va ntualꞌaku.
When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
4 Bila ngeyo wunzengidi nkanu mu busonga, wudedisidi mambu mama; ngeyo wuvuendi va kundu kiaku ki kipfumu mu sambisa mu busonga.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
5 Ngeyo wutemina makanda, wubunga mutu wumbimbi, wukubula mvimba mazina mawu mu zithangu zioso.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Mbivusu yikambulu tsukulu yibuididi bambeni; wutiolumuna mavula mawu ayi malendi buela tebukulu moyo ko.
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
7 Yave wunyalanga mu zithangu zioso; wukubika kundu kiandi ki kipfumu mu diambu di sambisa.
But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
8 Wela sambisa nza mu busonga, wela yadila batu mu bufuana.
And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 Yave niandi suamunu ki mutu weti yamusu; suamunu kingolo mu thangu yi ziphasi.
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
10 Babo bazebi dizina diaku, bela tula diana diawu mu ngeyo. Bila ngeyo, Yave, wuyekulanga ko bobo bakutombanga.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Luyimbidila Yave minzitusu mutu wowo wukala ku Sioni; yamikisanu mambu mandi kavanga muidi makanda.
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
12 Bila mutu wowo wumvutulanga landi mu diambu di menga matengolo wuntebukanga moyo; kazimbakananga ko yamikina ku batu badi mu phasi.
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
13 A Yave, tala buevi bambeni ziama balembo ndiamisa wumboni kiadi ayi wundanguna mu mielo mi lufua.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14 Muingi ndiyamikisa minzitusu miaku mu mielo mi muana ndumba wu Sioni, muingi ndimona khini mu phulusu aku.
That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 Makanda mabuidi mu dibulu dinneni diodi bakaba; malu mawu mabakini mu dikondi diodi batamba.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Yave wukimonikisidi, mu busonga buandi; mutu wumbimbi wukangimini mu mavanga ma mioko miandi.
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Vayi nsukami kalendi tumbu zimbukunu ko ayi diana di batu badi mu phasi dilendi tumbu lalakana ko.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 A Yave, telama! Bika mutu kabika nunga! Bika makanda masambusu va meso maku.
Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 A Yave, wubabuisila tsisi! Bika makanda mazaba ti badi kaka batu.
Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
