Ongumbiro yondjamo
Komuimburise. Epsalme ra David.
1 Ami mbi ri moumba, Ndjambi,
arikana, zuvira ongumbiro yandje!
Me tira ovanavita na ami,
arikana, yama omuinyo wandje!
2 Ndji yama kozondando zovanauvi,
na komatjendje wovatjite vouvi.
3 Owo ve upika omaraka wawo
tjimuna omangaruvyo,
ve yumba omambo omatwe
tjimuna oviku.
4 Owo ve yahera omuhinandjo
okuza momaṱarero wawo,
ve mu yaha tjimanga nokuhinohoṋi.
5 Ve popasana okutjita pamwe ouvi;
nu ve ripura pu mave
yara ozombate zawo,
nave ripura kutja:
“Owaṋi ngu me ze munu?”
6 Owo ve tanda okutjita ouvi ave tja:
“Eṱe twe ripura nozondjito
zoutwe ozosemba.”
Omutima nomeripuriro womundu
oviundikwa ovikoto,
ouṋe ngu ma yenene okuvikonḓonona?
7 Nungwari Ndjambi meve yaha
noviku vye,
nu tjimanga owo mave hara ovito.
8 Eye meve yandeke mena romambo ngo;
avehe mbu mave ve munu
mave taka oviuru vyawo.
9 Ovandu avehe mave tira;
mave ripura na imbi Ndjambi mbya tjita,
nu mave hongonona ovitjitwa vye.
10 Omusemba ma nyanda mu Muhona,
nu ma munu omaundiro we mu ye;
ovasemba avehe mave mu hivirike
momitima vyawo.
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Celebrate because of the Lord
1 Listen to my concerns, God,
and protect me
from my enemies' threats.
2 Keep me safe from secret plots
of corrupt and evil gangs.
3 Their words cut like swords,
and their cruel remarks
sting like sharp arrows.
4 They fearlessly ambush
and shoot innocent people.
5 They are determined to do evil,
and they tell themselves,
“Let's set traps!
No one can see us.”
6 They make evil plans and say,
“We'll commit a perfect crime.
No one knows our thoughts.”
7 But God will shoot his arrows
and quickly wound them.
8 They will be destroyed
by their own words,
and everyone who sees them
will tremble with fear.
9 They will be afraid and say,
“Look at what God has done
and keep it all in mind.”
10 May the Lord bless his people
with peace and happiness
and let them celebrate.
