(A psalm by the clan of Korah for the music leader.)
A Prayer for Peace
1 Our Lord, you have blessed
your land
and made all go well
for Jacob's descendants.
2 You have forgiven the sin
and taken away the guilt
of your people.
3 Your fierce anger is no longer
aimed at us.
4 Our Lord and our God,
you save us!
Please bring us back home
and don't be angry.
5 Will you always be angry
with us and our families?
6 Won't you give us fresh life
and let your people be glad
because of you?
7 Show us your love
and save us!
8 I will listen to you, Lord God,
because you promise peace
to those who are faithful
and no longer foolish.
9 You are ready to rescue
everyone who worships you,
so that you will live with us
in all your glory.
10 Love and loyalty
will come together;
goodness and peace
will unite.
11 Loyalty will sprout
from the ground;
justice will look down
from the sky above.
12 Our Lord, you will bless us;
our land will produce
wonderful crops.
13 Justice will march in front,
making a path
for you to follow.

1 Muhona, ove wa tjariparera ehi roye,
nu wa yarura ko ouṋingandu wa Israel.
2 Ove wa isira otjiwaṋa tjoye ourunde watjo,
nu wa vandeka ozongatukiro zatjo azehe.
3 Wa isa ko omapindi woye aehe ku tjo,
nu wa za ko komazenge woye omanene.
4 Tu yarura ko, Ndjambi, Omuyame wetu,
nu u yandise omapindi woye na eṱe.
5 Mo ṱomazenge na eṱe nga aruhe are?
Mo panḓere pomapindi woye okuza
komuhoko nga komuhoko are?
6 Ko nakutuharisa omasa rukwao,
kutja eṱe mbu tu ri otjiwaṋa tjoye,
tu ku tange are?
7 Tu raisira ondjingonekero yoye.
Muhona, nu u tu pe ombatero yoye.
8 Ami me puratene ku imbi Muhona,
Ndjambi, mbi ma hungire;
eye ma kwizike ohange ku eṱe mbu
tu ri otjiwaṋa tje,
tji tu hi nakuyaruka nomihingo
vyouyova rukwao.
9 Tjiri, ombatero ye i ri popezu na
imba mbe nondira ku ye,
nomasa we omayame maye tura mehi retu.
10 Orusuvero nouṱakame mavi hakaene,
ousemba nohange mavi pukatasana.
11 Ouṱakame womundu mau nyomoka mehi,
nousemba wa Ndjambi mau
tara pehi okuza meyuru.
12 Muhona, tjiri,
ma yandja imbi mbi ri oviwa,
nehi retu mari eta ovihape ovingi.
13 Ousemba mau hongora
komurungu wa Muhona;
nohange mai mu kongorere mozondambo ze.
