Ouṋingandu womundu ngu nondira ku Ndjambi
1 Tanga Muhona!
Omuṋingandu omundu ngu nondira ku Muhona,
nu ngu norutjato mokukara
nonḓuviro komatwako we.
2 Ovanatje vovasemba mave kara
nouvara ounene mehi;
nozondekurona ze maze serwa ondaya.
3 Eṱunḓu re mari kara noutumbe
noviṋa ovingi vyarwe,
nouṋingandu we mau karerere nga aruhe.
4 Ondjerera ye i yera kovasemba monḓorera,
eye u nomutima omuwa notjari nousemba.
5 Omuṋingandu omundu ngu notjari
nu ngu yazemisa nondjorokero,
nu ngu ṱuna oviṋa vye mousemba.
6 Omundu omusemba kamaa yaraara ko;
eye aruhe ma zemburukwa.
7 Eye ka tira okuyakura ombuze ombi;
ongamburiro ye i nomasa,
neye we riyameka ku Muhona.
8 Ke nongurunguse nu ka tira;
korusenina ma munu ovanavita na
ye amave rambwa movita.
9 Eye u yandja notjari kovasyona,
nouwa we mau karerere nga aruhe;
eye ma tatwa na yozikwa.
10 Omunauvi ma munu oviṋa mbi
na ṱomazenge; eye ma tivaurisa
omurungu na zengiririre.
Onḓero yomunauvi mai yanda.
The Happiness of a Good Person
1 Praise the Lord!
Happy is the person who honors the Lord,
who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land;
his descendants will be blessed.
3 His family will be wealthy and rich,
and he will be prosperous forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for good people,
for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
5 Happy is the person who is generous with his loans,
who runs his business honestly.
6 A good person will never fail;
he will always be remembered.
7 He is not afraid of receiving bad news;
his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.
8 He is not worried or afraid;
he is certain to see his enemies defeated.
9 He gives generously to the needy,
and his kindness never fails;
he will be powerful and respected.
10 The wicked see this and are angry;
they glare in hate and disappear;
their hopes are gone forever.
