God the Judge
1 We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you!
We proclaim how great you are
and tell of the wonderful things you have done.
2 “I have set a time for judgment,” says God,
“and I will judge with fairness.
3 Though every living creature tremble
and the earth itself be shaken,
I will keep its foundations firm.
4 I tell the wicked not to be arrogant;
5 I tell them to stop their boasting.”
6 Judgment does not come from the east or from the west,
from the north or from the south;
7 it is God who is the judge,
condemning some and acquitting others.
8 The Lord holds a cup in his hand,
filled with the strong wine of his anger.
He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it;
they drink it down to the last drop.
9 But I will never stop speaking of the God of Jacob
or singing praises to him.
10 He will break the power of the wicked,
but the power of the righteous will be increased.
Ndjambi eye omupangure
Komuimburise. Epsalme ra Asaf: Eimburiro.
1 Matu ku hivirike, Ndjambi, matu ku hivirike!
Matu zuvarisa ounene woye,
nu matu serekarere ovihimise mbi wa tjita.
2 Ndjambi ma tja nai:
“Ami mba twa po oruveze rwombanguriro,
nu me pangura nokuhinandoorora.
3 Ehi puna ovature varo avehe
nandi ra nyinganyinga,
ami me zikamisa ozongunḓe zaro.
4 Ami me raere ovirangaranga kutja
ave ha kara nozongukutusengo,
novanauvi ave he ri tongamisa;
5 mbe ve raera kutja ngave ise
okuritongamisa nourangaranga.”
6 Ombanguriro kai zu komuhuka poo kongurova,
nu kai zu komukuma wokeyuva
kokunene poo komukuma wokeyuva kokumuho;
7 nungwari Ndjambi eye onguri omupangure,
eye u yarura umwe kehi,
na yerurura omukwao kombanda.
8 Muhona u ṱiza otjinwino meke re
tji tji urisiwa nomavinu omazeu
womazenge we.
Eye u tirira omavinu nga okuza mu tjo,
novanauvi avehe ve ye nwa
nga tji va nyenḓurura.
9 Nungwari ami himee isa okuzuvarisa
Ndjambi wa Jakob,
poo oku mu imburire omatangero nga aruhe.
10 Eye ma teya omasa wovanauvi,
nungwari omasa wovasemba
me ye takavarisire ko.
