A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Ovatondi keembinga adishe
Eimbilo, Epsalome laAsaf.
1 Akutu Kalunga, ino likalela auke,
Ove ino kala wa mwena u tye filu, akutu Kalunga!
2 Tala, osheshi ovo tave ku tondo otava uyaana,
novatondi voye otava yelulile omitwe davo pombada.
3 Oshiwana shoye otave shi diladilile ekengelelo,
novanhu vopolwamba loye
otave va dutile ehangakeno,
4 tava ti: “Ileni tu yeni, tu ke va hanauneni po,
vo vaha ifanwe vali oshiwana,
opo edina lOvaisraeli liha tumbulwe vali.”
5 Heeno, va kundafana, va itavelela shimwe,
ove ku pangela omhangela yehangakeno,
6 eenhanda daEdom nOvaismael, Moab nOvahagri,
7 Gebal naAmmoni naAmalek,
Ovafilisti pamwe nOvatirus.
8 NaAsiria yo okwa ama kuvo,
ova ninga okwooko kwovana vaLot. Sela
9 Va ninga, ngaashi wa ningile Midian naSisera,
nongaashi Jabin kokamulonga Kison,
10 ava va nyonauninwe po kuEndor,
noimhu yavo ya ninga oushosho womepya.
11 Oidale yavo i ninga ngaashi wa ningile
Oreb naSeeb, novadalekele vavo aveshe
ongaashi Seba naSalmunna,
12 Ava tava ti:
“Tu ka nangaleni po eenhele daKalunga.”
13 Kalunga kange, va ninga ngaashi omafo
taa i shambadaulu,
ngaashi oidudilo tai i omhepo.
14 Ngaashi omundilo ou tau xwike ofuka,
ngaashi omutemo tau vave eemhunda.
15 Osho u va shikula neembadi doye,
ndele to va halula noshikungulu shoye.
16 Oshipala shavo shi yadifa nohoni,
opo va hovele okukonga edina loye, Omwene.
17 Nava fifwe ohoni, va tilifwe fiyo alushe,
nava lengaifwe, vo va xule po.
18 Vo va kale, ve shi koneka, nokutya
Oove ou to ifanwa Omwene,
Ove auke u li po Okombadambada medu alishe.
