God the Supreme Ruler
1 God presides in the heavenly council;
in the assembly of the gods he gives his decision:
2 “You must stop judging unjustly;
you must no longer be partial to the wicked!
3 Defend the rights of the poor and the orphans;
be fair to the needy and the helpless.
4 Rescue them from the power of evil people.
5 “How ignorant you are! How stupid!
You are completely corrupt,
and justice has disappeared from the world.
6 ‘You are gods,’ I said;
‘all of you are children of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mortals;
your life will end like that of any prince.”
8 Come, O God, and rule the world;
all the nations are yours.
Ndjambi eye omuhonapare omunenenene
Epsalme ra Asaf.
1 Ndjambi ma haamisa ombongarero yovature veyuru;
eye ma pangura oomukuru ama tja:
2 “Mamu pangura nouhasemba nga ruṋe?
Mamu tjiti ongarera kovanauvi nga ruṋe?
3 Tjiteye ousemba kovasyona nozosewa,
nu mu kondje kutja ovahepauke
novingundi ve mune ousemba.
4 Yameye ovasyona novahepe, nu mu
ve kuture momake wovanauvi.
5 “Tjiri, eṋe kamu tjiwa nu kamu nozondunge!
Mwa zunḓaka okumanuka,
nousemba kombanda yehi kau tji ko.
6 Ami vari mba tja nai:
‘Oweṋe oomukuru,
eṋe amuhe oweṋe ovanatje ovazandu
va wOkombandambanda.’
7 Nungwari nambano mamu koka otja
ovandu namu yanda otja
omuhona ngamwa auhe.”
8 Sekama, Ndjambi,
u honaparere ouye auhe;
oviwaṋa avihe ovyo ouini woye.
