1 Muhona nge ku zuvire meyuva rombamisiro!
Ndjambi wa Jakob nge ku yame!
2 Eye nge ku hindire ombatero

3 Eye nga yakure ozombunguhiro

nu nga kare nonyuṋe mozombunguhiro
zoye ozoningiririsiwa.
4 Eye nge ku pe imbi mbi mo zeri nomutima woye,
nga ṋingaparise ouripura woye auhe.
5 Otji matu yorokere outoṋi woye,
nu matu turike erapi routoṋi
mena ra Ndjambi wetu.
Muhona nga yenenise
omaningiriro woye aehe.
6 Nambano ami mba tjiwa kutja Muhona ma
yandja ondoṋeno kombara ye ondoororwa;
eye me i zuvire motjouyapuke tje meyuru,
nu momasa we eye me i pe outoṋi ounene.
7 Tjiva ve riyameka komatemba wovita,
nu tjiva ave riyameke koukambe wawo;
nungwari eṱe tu riyameka kena
ra Muhona, Ndjambi wetu.
8 Ovandu otja imba mave putara nave u,
nungwari eṱe matu kara kamuseka natu zikama.
9 Muhona, yandja outoṋi kombara!
Nu tu zuvira tji matu ku kove.
A Prayer for Victory
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!
May the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from his Temple
and give you aid from Mount Zion.
3 May he accept all your offerings
and be pleased with all your sacrifices.
4 May he give you what you desire
and make all your plans succeed.
5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory
and celebrate your triumph by praising our God.
May the Lord answer all your requests.
6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;
he answers him from his holy heaven
and by his power gives him great victories.
7 Some trust in their war chariots
and others in their horses,
but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
8 Such people will stumble and fall,
but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
