Ongumbiro yonguturiro yotjiwaṋa
Epsalme ra Asaf.
1 Ndjambi, ovanavisenginina va taurira mehi roye,
ave yamburura ondjuwo yoye ondjapuke,
nu ave tjiti Jerusalem okurira otjitambatundu.
2 Va yandja oturova twovakarere
voye okuriwa i ozonḓera zeyuru,
notutu twovaingona voye okuriwa i
ovipuka vyokuti.
3 Va tirahi ombinḓu yotjiwaṋa tjoye tjimuna
omeva kominda avihe vya Jerusalem,
nu kapa ri omundu okupaka ovaṱi.
4 Oviwaṋa mbye tu kondoroka kominda avihe,

ovyo vi tu yora nu vi tu nyekerera.
5 Nga ruṋe, Muhona?
Mo tu pindikire nga aruhe are?
Omazenge woye maye
yaka otja omuriro nga ruṋe?
6 Tirira omazenge woye koviwaṋa
mbi he rikotamene kove,
na komauhona nge ha kumbu kove.
7 Orondu owo va zepa otjiwaṋa tjoye,
nu va hahaura omaturiro watjo.
8 O tu verere omauvi wootate mukururume;
hakahana okututjariparera,
tjinga atwa ningisa ondjenda.
9 Tu vatera, Ndjambi, nu tu yama;
tu kutura nu tu isira ourunde wetu,
kondjozikiro yena roye.
10 Imba mbe he ri Ovajuda mave
tu purire tjike nai:
“Ndjambi weṋu u ri pi?”
Ngatu mune ove tji mo vere oviwaṋa,
mena rokutja vya tirahi ombinḓu
yovakarere voye.
11 Puratena komatjemeno wovahuurwa,
nu momasa woye omanene kutura
imba mba pangurwa kokuṱa.
12 Sutisa potuhambombari oviwaṋa
mbya tura meṋe yetu,
mena romayambururiro ngu vya tjita kove.
13 Nu eṱe mbu tu ri otjiwaṋa tjoye,
nozonḓu zouṱuta woye,
matu ku tanga nga aruhe,
nu matu serekarere ohiviro yoye
okuza kozondekurona nga kozondekurona.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them .
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
