Kape na ouyuki movanhu
Epsalme laDavid, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo.
1 Elai otali ti momutima walo:
“Kape na Kalunga;”
oilonga yalo oififahoni, ya nyonauka:
kape na nande umwe auke,
ou ta longo ouwa.
2 Omwene meulu ota vandamene poshi,
ta tale ovana vovanhu,
a mone ngeenge ope na tuu
ou omunandunge, ou ta kongo Kalunga.
3 Ndelenee aveshe va pumha mo,
aveshe va vayapala;
kape na ou ta longo ouwa, nande umwe.
4 Ovahenouyuki ava aveshe
kave neendunge nande mboli,
ava hava li ovanhu vange
ngaashi hava li omungome?
Vo ihava ifana kOmwene.
5 Opo va kwatwa kehalukotilifo,
osheshi Kalunga a ama koludi lovayuki.
6 Onye omwa fifa ohoni
omhangela yomufininikwa,
ndelenee Omwene Oye eameno laye.
7 Akutu, exupifo laIsrael ngeno li holoke muSion!
Ngeenge Omwene ta alula oudjuu movanhu vaye,
opo Jakob ota hafe naIsrael ota nyakukwa.
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
No One Can Ignore the Lord
1 Only a fool would say,
“There is no God!”
People like that are worthless;
they are heartless and cruel
and never do right.
2 From heaven the Lord
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.
3 But all of them are corrupt;
no one does right.
4 Won't you evil people learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the Lord's people.
5 But you will be frightened,
because God is on the side
of every good person.
6 You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
but the Lord protects them.
7 I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our Lord, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.
