Koneka okuhefa kwange.
2 Akutu, Ohamba yange naKalunga kange,

3 Omwene, ongula inene to ka uda ondaka yange;
ongula inene ohandi ku lilongekidile efiyawilo
nohandi liameke kwoove.
4 Osheshi Ove ku fi Kalunga ha hokwa oulunde.
Omunawii ke nokukala pwoove.
5 Ovalitumbaleki itava ka dula komesho yoye;

6 Ovapopi voipupulu oto va nyonauna po;
ovalumenhu ovadipai novanekonda

7 Ndelenee ame molwefilonghenda loye
onda pewa omhito yokuuya meumbo loye,

8 Omwene, endife nge

9 Osheshi momakanya avo

meni lavo otava dutu enyonauko;
ominino davo odo eembila da yeuluka;
nomalaka avo oku na omufenhu.
10 Kalunga, va tokolela owii.
Eemhangela davo nadi va pilukile.
Va undula po

osheshi vo ove ku lundalalela.
11 Opo nee aveshe ava ve ku lineekela,
nave ku hafele; alushe nava kuwilile,
molwaashi to va amene,
notave ku tanhele ava ve hole edina loye.
12 Osheshi omuyuki
Ove to mu nangeke noupuna, Omwene,
to mu dingilile nohokwe yoye
ngaashi oshikelelifo.

A Prayer for Help
1 Listen, Lord, as I pray!
Pay attention when I groan.
2 You are my King and my God.
Answer my cry for help
because I pray to you.
3 Each morning you listen
to my prayer,
as I bring my requests to you
and wait for your reply.
4 You are not the kind of God
who is pleased with evil.
Sinners can't stay with you.
5 No one who boasts can stand
in your presence, Lord,
and you hate evil people.
6 You destroy every liar,
and you despise violence
and deceit.
7 Because of your great mercy,
I come to your house, Lord,
and I am filled with wonder
as I bow down to worship
at your holy temple.
8 You do what is right,
and I ask you to guide me.
Make your teaching clear
because of my enemies.
9 Nothing they say is true!
They just want to destroy.
Their words are deceitful
like a hidden pit,
and their tongues are good
only for telling lies.
10 Punish them, God,
and let their own plans
bring their downfall.
Get rid of them!
They keep committing crimes
and turning against you.
11 Let all who run to you
for protection
always sing joyful songs.
Provide shelter for those
who truly love you
and let them rejoice.
12 Our Lord, you bless those
who live right,
and you shield them
with your kindness.
