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.
Confidence in the Lord
1 I trust in the Lord for safety.
How foolish of you to say to me,
“Fly away like a bird to the mountains,
2 because the wicked have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows
to shoot from the shadows at good people.
3 There is nothing a good person can do
when everything falls apart.”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
he has his throne in heaven.
He watches people everywhere
and knows what they are doing.
5 He examines the good and the wicked alike;
the lawless he hates with all his heart.
6 He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked;
he punishes them with scorching winds.
7 The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds;
those who do them will live in his presence.
