A Prayer for Help
1 How much longer will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
How much longer will you hide yourself from me?
2 How long must I endure trouble?
How long will sorrow fill my heart day and night?
How long will my enemies triumph over me?
3 Look at me, O Lord my God, and answer me.
Restore my strength; don't let me die.
4 Don't let my enemies say, “We have defeated him.”
Don't let them gloat over my downfall.
5 I rely on your constant love;
I will be glad, because you will rescue me.
6 I will sing to you, O Lord,
because you have been good to me.
Okupula ekwatho
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Omuwa, sigo uunake to dhimbwa ndje?
Sigo aluhe?
Sigo uunake to holama ndje?
2 Osigo uunake ndi na okwiidhidhimikila uudhigu?
Sigo uunake iimpwiyu yu udha momutima gwandje, omutenya nuusiku?
Sigo uunake aatondi yandje
taa nyanyukilwa oluhepo lwandje?
3 Omuwa, Kalunga kandje,
tala ndje e to yamukula ndje.
Shunithila ndje oonkondo;
ino etha, ndi se.
4 Ino etha, aatondi yandje ya tye:
“Ngashingeyi otwe mu sinda!”
Ino ya etha, ya nyanyukilwe okugwilapo kwandje.
5 Ngame ondi inekela ohole yoye;
otandi nyanyukwa, sho to hupitha ndje.
6 Omuwa, otandi ku imbile,
oshoka owa ningile ndje uuwanawa.
