Engungumano koshipala shaKalunga
Eimbilo laDavid, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo oku li imba mongovela yeimbilo eli: ‘Jedutun’.
1 Kalunga Oye aeke omwenyo wange
tau mu teelele mengungumano,
kuye otaku di ekwafo lange;
2 Oye aeke emanya lange, nehepuluko lange,
nohote yange; ame ihandi tengauka unene.
3 Fiyo onaini mwa hala nye amushe,
okukondjifa omulumenhu umwe,
mu mu nyonaune po,
a fe ekuma la endama
nongaashi ohote tai teka po?
4 Otava kundafana ashike omolwounene waye,
nhumbi ve mu undule ko,
ova hokwa oipupulu;
momakanya otava punike,
nomomitima otava fingaele. Sela
5 Lota, muKalunga amuke, omwenyo wange,
osheshi kuye otaku di eteelelo lange;
6 Oye aeke emanya lange, nehepuluko lange,
nohotemanya yange;
ame itandi tengauka nande.
7 Exupifo lange nefimano lange oli li muKalunga;
emanya lange la pama
nouhondameno wange Oye Kalunga.
8 Akutu, oshiwana, mu lineekeleni alushe!
Mu mbubulileni omitima deni.
Kalunga Oye ouhondameno wetu. Sela
9 Ovanhu omuku wongaho,
vo aveshe ngee otava yelekwa,
aveshe vapu, ve dulike komuku.
10 Inamu lineekela omunyeka,
inamu liwewelekela oitinhwa yeni;
nemona ngeenge tali hapupala,
inamu mangela mo omitima deni!
11 Kalunga okwa popya lumwe nde shi uda luvali;
nokutya, eenghono odaKalunga.
12 Nosho yo, Omwene, ouwanghenda owoye;
nomunhu keshe Ove to mu ningile
shi fike pailonga yaye.
(A psalm by David for Jeduthun, the music leader.)
God Is Powerful and Kind
1 Only God can save me,
and I calmly wait for him.
2 God alone is the mighty rock
that keeps me safe
and the fortress
where I am secure.
3 I feel like a shaky fence
or a sagging wall.
How long will all of you
attack and assault me?
4 You want to bring me down
from my place of honor.
You love to tell lies,
and when your words are kind,
hatred hides in your heart.
5 Only God gives inward peace,
and I depend on him.
6 God alone is the mighty rock
that keeps me safe,
and he is the fortress
where I feel secure.
7 God saves me and honors me.
He is that mighty rock
where I find safety.
8 Trust God, my friends,
and always tell him
each of your concerns.
God is our place of safety.
9 We humans are only a breath;
none of us are truly great.
All of us together weigh less
than a puff of air.
10 Don't trust in violence
or depend on dishonesty
or rely on great wealth.
11 I heard God say two things:
“I am powerful,
12 and I am very kind.”
The Lord rewards each of us
according to what we do.
