Ndjambi eye Omuvatere
1 Tangeye Muhona!
Tanga Muhona, muinyo wandje!
2 Me tanga Muhona, ngunda ambi
nomuinyo; me imburire Ndjambi
wandje oure womuinyo wandje.
3 Amu riyameke kovahona vovandu,
owo kamaave mu yama.
4 Tji va koka, owo ve yaruka koruuma;
meyuva ndo ozondando zawo
azehe maze yanda.
5 Omuṋingandu omundu ngu na
Ndjambi wa Jakob okumuvatera,
nu ngu undja ku Muhona, Ndjambi we,
6 ngwa utire eyuru nehi nokuvare,
na avihe mbi ri mu vyo.
Eye aruhe u yenenisa omakwizikiro we
7 nu u pangurira ovatatumisiwa osemba,
neye u yandja ovikurya kovaṱandjara.
Muhona u kutura ovahuurwa,
8 nu u munisa ovapoṱu.
Eye u yeura imba mba wa,
u suvera imba mbe tjita ousemba.
9 Muhona u tjevera ovandu
wozonganda mba tura mehi retu;
eye u vatera ovahepundu nozosewa,
nungwari u piza omeripura wovanauvi.
10 Muhona eye ombara nga aruhe.
Ndjambi woye, Sion, u honapara
okuza komuhoko nga komuhoko.
Tangeye Muhona!
Shout Praises to the Lord
1 Shout praises to the Lord!
With all that I am,
I will shout his praises.
2 I will sing and praise
the Lord God
as long as I live.
3 You can't depend on anyone,
not even a great leader.
4 Once they die and are buried,
that will be the end
of all their plans.
5 The Lord God of Jacob blesses
everyone who trusts him
and depends on him.
6 God made heaven and earth;
he created the sea
and everything else.
God always keeps his word.
7 He gives justice to the poor
and food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free
8 and heals blind eyes.
He gives a helping hand
to everyone who falls.
The Lord loves good people
9 and looks after strangers.
He defends the rights
of orphans and widows,
but destroys the wicked.
10 The Lord God of Zion
will rule forever!
Shout praises to the Lord!
