A Prayer for Help
1 When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
2 Save me, Lord,
from liars and deceivers.
3 You liars, what will God do to you?
How will he punish you?
4 With a soldier's sharp arrows,
with red-hot coals!
5 Living among you is as bad as living in Meshech
or among the people of Kedar.
6 I have lived too long
with people who hate peace!
7 When I speak of peace,
they are for war.
Okupula ekwatho
1 Sho ndi li muudhigu,
otandi galikana Omuwa,
oye notu uvu ndje.
2 Gamena ndje, ndaa kale mongundu yaakotokeli noyaafundja.
3 Aakotokeli ne, Kalunga ote mu ningi ngiini?
Ote mu geele ngiini?
4 Ote mu tumine ondjumbeta
yi na iikuti ya tsa
nomakala ga hanya omulilo.
5 Osho iihuna okukala mokati keni,
osha faathana nokukala muMeshek
nenge okukala maantu yaKedar.
6 Onda kala olule mokati kaantu
haa tondo ombili.
7 Uuna tandi popi ombili,
oya hala iita.
