God Blesses His Worshipers
1 Shout praises to the Lord!
The Lord blesses everyone
who worships him and gladly
obeys his teachings.
2 Their descendants will have
great power in the land,
because the Lord blesses
all who do right.
3 They will get rich and prosper
and will always be remembered
for their fairness.
4 They will be so kind
and merciful and good,
that they will be a light
in the dark for others
who do the right thing.
5 Life will go well for those
who freely lend
and are honest in business.
6 They won't ever be troubled,
and the kind things they do
will never be forgotten.
7 Bad news won't bother them;
they have decided
to trust the Lord.
8 They are dependable
and not afraid,
and they will live to see
their enemies defeated.
9 They will always be remembered
and greatly praised,
because they were kind
and freely gave to the poor.
10 When evil people see this,
they angrily bite their tongues
and disappear.
They will never get
what they really want.
Elao lovatilikalunga
1 Halleluya!
Omulumenhu omunelao ou ha tila Omwene,
ndele ta hokwa shili oipango yaye.
2 Ovana vaye otava ka kala
ovanaenghono moshilongo;
oludi lovayuki otali ka punikwa.
3 Meumbo laye omu yadi oinima noupuna,
nouyuki waye otau kalele.
4 Ovayuki ote va pitile ngaashi ouyelele momulaulu,
omunalukeno nomunanghenda nomuyuki.
5 Ou ha file onghenda
ndele ta yandje nokuhateelela sha,
oye omukalinawa.
Ta diinine oinima yaye pauyuki;
6 shaashi ye iha tengauka nande;
okudimbulukiwa kwomuyuki
otaku kala alushe.
7 Eenghundana dii ye ite di tila;
omutima waye itau mbadapala,
owe lineekela Omwene.
8 Omutima waye owa dja oumbada,
ye ita tila nande osha,
fiyo ote litadele ovatondi vaye.
9 Ta yandje neke lakamutuluka,
neehepele ohe di pe oshali;
ouyuki waye otau kala po alushe;
oluvinga laye otali yeluka pombada
la tumbalekwa.
10 Omulunde ote shi mono,
ndele tashi mu twifa ondubo;
ota kwesha omayoo ndele ta xulu po;
omahalelo ovadinikalunga ihaa wanifwa,
taa kala ongaho.
