(A psalm by David.)
Who May Worship the Lord?
1 Who may stay in God's temple
or live on the holy mountain
of the Lord?
2 Only those who obey God
and do as they should.
They speak the truth
3 and don't spread gossip;
they treat others fairly
and don't say cruel things.
4 They hate worthless people,
but show respect for all
who worship the Lord.
And they keep their promises,
no matter what the cost.
5 They lend their money
without charging interest,
and they don't take bribes
to hurt the innocent.
Those who do these things
will always stand firm.
Imbi Ndjambi ombi ma undjire komundu okutjita
Epsalme ra David.
1 Muhona, owaṋi ngu ma yenene
okuvarura ondjuwo yoye?
Owaṋi ngu ma yenene okurikotamena kOsion,
ondundu yoye ondjapuke?
2 Eye ngwi ngu nonḓuviro
ku Ndjambi moviṋa avihe,
nu ngu tjita ousemba aruhe,
nu ngu hungira ouatjiri nomutima we auhe,
3 nu ngu ha yamba ovakwao;
eye ngwi ngu ha tjiti ouvi kovakwao,
nu ngu ha taka omambo
ohunga novararanganda.
4 Eye ngwi ngwa nyengura
imba Ndjambi mba tonda,
nungwari ngu yozika imba
mbe nonḓuviro ku Muhona;
eye aruhe u yenenisa omakwizikiro we,
nandarire kutja owo omazeu.
5 Eye ngwi ngu ha yazemisa ovimariva
vye kutja a munine po ovitjoziwa,
nu ngu ha kambura oviyandjewa
vyombopero kutja a
kumininine po omuhinandjo.
Ngamwa auhe ngu tjita oviṋa mbi
kamaa yaraara ko nga aruhe.
