Okungungumana mOmwene
Eimbilo lomolweendo lokuya kouyapuki, laDavid.
1 Omwene, omutima wange kau na elituleko,
omesho ange ihaa tale paukengeli;
oinima ei inai yeleka pwaame,
notai dulu nge eenghono,
yo ihai veleke nge oshisho.
2 Ndelenee omwenyo wange onde u lotifa,
nonde u ngungumaneka ngaashi okaana,
aka ka tova, ka ukatwa mekolo laina,
osho ngaha omwenyo wange
owa tovifwa wa lota mwaame.
3 Israel, telamena Omwene
nena nofiyo alushe!
A Prayer of Humble Trust
1 Lord, I have given up my pride
and turned away from my arrogance.
I am not concerned with great matters
or with subjects too difficult for me.
2 Instead, I am content and at peace.
As a child lies quietly in its mother's arms,
so my heart is quiet within me.
3 Israel, trust in the Lord
now and forever!
