Ombara ondoororwa ya Ndjambi
1 Oviwaṋa mavi zunganene tjike?
Oviwaṋa mavi zemburukire tjike
ourizemburuka womungandjo?
2 Ozombara zouye maze zungana,
novanane ave rikutu kumwe
okusekamena Muhona
nombara ye ondwirisiwa.
3 Owo mave tja nai:
“Ngatu rikuture komapando wawo,
nu tu nakaure ouvara wawo!”
4 Muhona ngu honapara meyuru,
ma yoro;
nu ma nyekerere omeripura
wawo womungandjo.
5 Eye meve tena momazenge we,
nu meve urumisa momapindi we,
6 ama tja: “Ami mba twirisira
ombara yandje kondundu
yandje ondjapuke Sion.”
7 Ombara mai tja: “Ami me serekarere
imbi Muhona mbya tjivisa.
Eye wa tja nai ku ami:
‘Oove omuna wandje;
ndinondi ami ondi mbe ku kwata.
8 Ningira, nami me ku pe oviwaṋa
avihe vi rire ouini woye;
nouye auhe wina mau rire ouini woye.
9 Ove mo vi ṱukuṱura nokati kotjitenda;
nu mo vi nyanyaura
otja onyungu yomunoko.’ ”
10 Nambano kareye nozondunge,
oweṋe zombara;
kareye ko na tja nomarongero nga,
oweṋe vanane vyouye.
11 Karereye Muhona nondira!
12 Zezereye nu mu rikote ku ye,
tjapo omazenge we maye sekama
neṋe mamu ṱu tjimanga.
Ovaṋingandu avehe mbe nomaundiro mu ye.
The Lord's Chosen King
1 Why do the nations plot,
and why do their people
make useless plans?
2 The kings of this earth
have all joined together
to turn against the Lord
and his chosen king.
3 They say, “Let's cut the ropes
and set ourselves free!”
4 In heaven the Lord laughs
as he sits on his throne,
making fun of the nations.
5 The Lord becomes furious
and threatens them.
His anger terrifies them
as he says,
6 “I've put my king on Zion,
my sacred hill.”
7 I will tell the promise
that the Lord made to me:
“You are my son, because today
I have become your father.
8 Ask me for the nations,
and every nation on earth
will belong to you.
9 You will smash them
with an iron rod
and shatter them
like dishes of clay.”
10 Be smart, all you rulers,
and pay close attention.
11 Serve and honor the Lord;
be glad and tremble.
12 Show respect to his son
because if you don't,
the Lord might become furious
and suddenly destroy you.
But he blesses and protects
everyone who runs to him.
