Evening Prayer for Help
1 Answer me when I pray,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you helped me.
Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.
2 How long will you people insult me?
How long will you love what is worthless
and go after what is false?
3 Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own,
and he hears me when I call to him.
4 Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your beds.
5 Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord,
and put your trust in him.
6 There are many who pray:
“Give us more blessings, O Lord.
Look on us with kindness!”
7 But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever have
with all their grain and wine.
8 When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.
Egalikano lyongulohi
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Ngele tandi ku ithana,
pe ndje eyamukulo, Kalunga, omupopili gwandje.
Sho nda li muudhigu,
owa kwatha ndje.
Sila ndje ohenda,
ngoye u uve egalikano lyandje.
2 Aantu ne, sigo uunake tamu kala nokusheka ndje?
Sigo uunake, tamu kala mu hole iinima yaa na ekwatho,
notamu landula iifundja?
3 Dhimbulukweni kutya
Omuwa okwi ihogololele omuyuuki,
notu uvu ndje,
sho tandi mu ithana.
4 Tileni Omuwa,

dhiladhileni nawa oshinima shika,
uuna mwa lala moondunda dheni.
5 Eteleni Omuwa omayambo ngoka e ga hokwa,
ne mu mu inekele.
6 Oku na oyendji taa indile:
“Omuwa, tu pa natango omayambeko,
tu tala onteni!”
7 Ihe enyanyu ndyoka wa pe ndje,
oli vule lyaamboka ye na

8 Ngele tandi ka lala,
otandi kotha nombili.
Omuwa, ongoye awike to gamene ndje,
ndi kale ndaa na nando ombudhi yasha.
