opo ovayelani vange vaha hafele nge.
3 Heeno, nande umwe ou te ku teelele,

Ovaamuki epwanga aveke

4 Omwene, ulikile nge eendjila doye,
Ove u longe nge omalila oye,
5 ame ndi ende moshili yoye,
Ove u longe nge,

6 Omwene, dimbulukwa efilonghenda loye nolukeno loye,
osheshi oyo oya kala po nalenale.
7 Omatimba omounyasha, nomanyono ange,
nowii wange ino u dimbulukwa.
Dimbulukwe nge panghenda

8 Omwene omuwa nomuyuki,

9 Ovalininipiki ote ke va endifa payuki,
novalininipiki ote va longo ondjila yaye.
10 Omalila aeshe Omwene onghenda noudiinini
kwaava hava diinine ehangano nehepaululo laye.
11 Omwene, molwedina loye,

12 Ou ha tila Omwene, ye olyelye?
Ye ote mu longo ondjila ei ye e nokuhoolola.
13 Oye ta ka kala nelao,

14 Eendafano lOmwene oli li naava have mu tila;
ndele te va shiivifa ehangano laye.
15 Omesho ange alushe

16 Alukila kwaame, u file nge onghenda,
osheshi ondi li omufiwapo nepongo.
17 Omatilifohodi omomutima wange a hapupala;

18 Tala omupya wange, noshiponga shange,

19 Tala ovatondi vange, osheshi ovo ovahapu,
ve noutondwe naame, tava tondo nge nai.
20 Diinina omwenyo wange, u xupife nge;
ino efa ndi fifwe ohoni; Oove, nde lineekela.
21 Oukoshoki noukalinawa nau amene nge,
osheshi Omwene, Oove, nda teelela.
22 Akutu Kalunga, kulila Israel
momaudjuu aye aeshe!

A Prayer for Guidance and Help
1 I offer you my heart, Lord God,
2 and I trust you.
Don't make me ashamed
or let enemies defeat me.
3 Don't disappoint any
of your worshipers,
but disappoint all
deceitful liars.
4 Show me your paths
and teach me to follow;
5 guide me by your truth
and instruct me.
You keep me safe,
and I always trust you.
6 Please, Lord, remember,
you have always
been patient and kind.
7 Forget each wrong I did
when I was young.
Show how truly kind you are
and remember me.
8 You are honest and merciful,
and you teach sinners
how to follow your path.
9 You lead humble people
to do what is right
and to stay on your path.
10 In everything you do,
you are kind and faithful
to everyone who keeps
our agreement with you.
11 Be true to your name, Lord,
by forgiving each one
of my terrible sins.
12 You will show the right path
to all who worship you.
13 Then they will have plenty,
and their children
will receive the land.
14 Our Lord, you are the friend
of your worshipers,
and you make an agreement
with all of us.
15 I always look to you,
because you rescue me
from every trap.
16 I am lonely and troubled.
Show that you care
and have pity on me.
17 My awful worries keep growing.
Rescue me from sadness.
18 See my troubles and misery
and forgive my sins.
19 Look at all my enemies!
See how much they hate me.
20 I come to you for shelter.
Protect me, keep me safe,
and don't disappoint me.
21 I obey you with all my heart,
and I trust you, knowing
that you will save me.
22 Our God, please save Israel
from all its troubles.
