A Song of Praise
1 Come, let us praise the Lord!
Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us!
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and sing joyful songs of praise.
3 For the Lord is a mighty God,
a mighty king over all the gods.
4 He rules over the whole earth,
from the deepest caves to the highest hills.
5 He rules over the sea, which he made;
the land also, which he himself formed.
6 Come, let us bow down and worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 He is our God;
we are the people he cares for,
the flock for which he provides.
Listen today to what he says:
8 “Don't be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah,
as they were that day in the desert at Massah.
9 There they put me to the test and tried me,
although they had seen what I did for them.
10 For forty years I was disgusted with those people.
I said, ‘How disloyal they are!
They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 I was angry and made a solemn promise:
‘You will never enter the land
where I would have given you rest.’”
Eimburiro rokutanga
1 Indjeye, tu tange Muhona!
Ngatu imburire Ndjambi nenyando;
eye ongu tu yama!
2 Ngatu tumbuke komurungu we nomatangero,
tu mu imburire omaimburiro wondjoroka.
3 Orondu Muhona eye Ndjambi omunamasa,
Ombara onamasa poomukuru wovisenginina avehe.
4 Eye u honapara kombanda yehi arihe,
okuza kehi yehi nga kozondomba zozondundu.
5 U honapara kombanda yokuvare kwa uta,
na kombanda yehi nda mema.
6 Indjeye tu rikote nokurikotamena ku ye;
ngatu wore ozongoro
komurungu wa Muhona, Omuute wetu.
7 Orondu eye onguri Ndjambi wetu,
neṱe oweṱe otjiwaṋa tje risa,
norupanda ndu hongorerwa i eke re.
Arikaneye, purateneye ndinondi eye

8 “Amu kukutisa omitima vyeṋu otja
ooiho mukururume tji va tjitire mOmeriba,
notja tji va tjitire meyuva ndi ndi
va ri mOmasa, mokuti onguza.
9 Imbo owo ve ndji rorere
nave ndji kondjisa,
nandarire kutja owo va muna oviungura,
mbi mbe ve tjitira.
10 Oure wozombura omirongo vine
ami mba yaukisiwa i otjiwaṋa hi ne tja:
‘Otjo otjiwaṋa tjomutima mbwa puka;
tji panḓa okukara nonḓuviro komarakiza wandje.’
11 Opu mba za okuyana momazenge wandje, ne tja:
‘Tjiri, kamaamu hiti mehi ami
metje kemupa orusuvo.’ ”
