Onḓero ku Ndjambi
Epsalme ra David, eye tja ri mokuti onguza kwa Juda.
1 Ndjambi, oove Ndjambi wandje,
nami me ku zeri;
omuinyo wandje wa á¹±onyota na ove,
norutu rwandje ru nonḓero
na ove mehi nda kukuta,
nda kamba nu ndi hi nomeva.
2 Ami otji mba zera okukutara
mondanda yoye ondjapuke,
kutja mbi mune omasa nounene woye.
3 Orondu ouwa womutima
woye wa kapita omuinyo,
nopu me zu okukuhivirika.
4 Ami me ku tanga ngunda ambi nomuinyo,
me yere omake wandje kove mongumbiro.
5 Omuinyo wandje mau
ri ovikurya ovitjate nau kuta,
nami me ku imburire
omaimburiro wondjoroka.
6 Tji mba rara kombete yandje,
me rizemburuka na ove;
ouá¹±uku auhe me ripura na ove,
7 orondu ove aruhe
wa ri ombatero yandje.
Momuzire wovivava vyoye
me imbura nondjoroka.
8 Ami me kakatere kove,
neke roye rokunene mari
ndji á¹±iza nokuhinooma.
9 Nungwari imba mbe kondja
okundjizepa mave pundu motjovakoke.
10 Owo mave á¹±u motjirwa nomangaruvyo,
noturova twawo matu riwa i ozombandje.
11 Nungwari ombara mai nyanda mu Ndjambi.
Nu imba mbe tjita omakwizikiro mena ra Ndjambi,
mave mu tanga,
novinyo vyovanavizeze mavi patwa.
(A psalm by David when he was in the desert of Judah.)
God's Love Means More than Life
1 You are my God. I worship you.
In my heart, I long for you,
as I would long for a stream
in a scorching desert.
2 I have seen your power
and your glory
in the place of worship.
3 Your love means more
than life to me,
and I praise you.
4 As long as I live,
I will pray to you.
5 I will sing joyful praises
and be filled with excitement
like a guest at a banquet.
6 I think about you, God,
before I go to sleep,
and my thoughts turn to you
during the night.
7 You have helped me,
and I sing happy songs
in the shadow of your wings.
8 I stay close to you,
and your powerful arm
supports me.
9 All who want to kill me
will end up in the ground.
10 Swords will run them through,
and wild dogs will eat them.
11 Because of you, our God,
the king will celebrate
with your faithful followers,
but liars will be silent.
