Confidence in the Lord
1 I trust in the Lord for safety.
How foolish of you to say to me,
“Fly away like a bird to the mountains,
2 because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows
to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3 There is nothing a good person can do
when everything falls apart.”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
he has his throne in heaven.
He watches people everywhere
and knows what they are doing.
5 He examines the good and the wicked alike;
the lawless he hates with all his heart.
6 He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked;
he punishes them with scorching winds.
7 The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds;
those who do them will live in his presence.

1 MOmwene onda tula mo elineekelo lange;
otamu ti hano ngahelipi kwaame:
“Tukeni keemhunda ngaashi odila!
2 Osheshi tala, ovahenakalunga
tava lukile omauta,
va tula oshikuti mofipa,
va shiive okuumba ve li momulaulu,
va yashe ava ve nomutima wa yuka.
3 Eengudi domukangha
ngeenge tadi ngumaunwa po,
omuyuki ta dulu sha vali mbela?”
4 Omwene oku li motembeli yaye iyapuki,
Omwene ou, e nolukalwapangelo laye li li meulu;
omesho aye taa tale,
neemhafu daye tadi konenene oludalo lovanhu.
5 Omwene ota konakona
ovayuki novahenakalunga,
naau e hole owii,
omwenyo waye otau mu tondo.
6 Ovahenakalunga ote ke va lokifila
omakala omundilo nosulfuri;
nomhepo ya hanya
otai ka ninga oshitukulwa sheholo lavo.
7 Osheshi Omwene Oye omuyuki
noku hole ouyuki;
ovayuki notava ka tala oshipala shaye.
