Okuriyameka ku Muhona
Komuimburise. Epsalme ra David.
1 Onḓakameno yandje me twa
mu Muhona, pu pena omaundiro.
Okutjavi tji mamu tja nai ku ami:
“Tukira kozondundu otja onḓera!
2 Tara, ovanauvi va rumbire omauta wawo,
nu va twako oviku vyawo komiko
ve yahe ovasemba monḓorera.
3 Omusemba ke notjiṋa okutjita,
orupare romazikameno tji rwa zukurwa.”
4 Muhona u ri mondjuwo ye ondjapuke,
otjihavero tje tjouhona tji ri meyuru.
Eye u muna koṋa akuhe,
nu u konḓonona avihe ovandu mbi ve tjita.
5 Eye u konḓonona ovasemba novanauvi pupeṱa,
nu wa tonda ovatjite voutwe nomutima we auhe.
6 Eye u rokisa omakara womuriro
nozosurungu kombanda yovanauvi;
u ve vera nombepo ombyu.
7 Muhona eye omusemba,
nu wa suvera ozondjito ozosemba;
imba mbe tjita ousemba
mave kara momurungu we.
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Trusting the Lord
1 The Lord is my fortress!
Don't say to me,
“Escape like a bird
to the mountains!”
2 You tell me, “Watch out!
Those evil people have put
their arrows on their bows,
and they are standing
in the shadows,
aiming at good people.
3 What can an honest person do
when everything crumbles?”
4 The Lord is sitting
in his sacred temple
on his throne in heaven.
He knows everything we do
because he sees us all.
5 The Lord tests honest people,
but despises those
who are cruel
and love violence.
6 He will send fiery coals
and flaming sulfur
down on the wicked,
and they will drink nothing
but a scorching wind.
7 The Lord always does right
and wants justice done.
Everyone who does right
will see his face.
