Ohamba tai halelwa ekwafo lOmwene
Epsalme laDavid, la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo.
1 Omwene ne ku ude mefiku loudjuu,
edina laKalunga kaJakob nali ku amene!
2 Oye ne ku tumine ekwafo
li dje mouyapuki waye,
nepameko loye nali ku dilile muSion.
3 Na dimbulukwe eendjayambo doye adishe,
na tale nohokwe omaxwikiloyambo oye. Sela
4 Oye ne ku pe eshi omutima woye wa hala,
nomauko aeshe ne a wanife.
5 Opo nee twa hala okukalukila efindano,
nomedina laKalunga ketu
omo hatu dungadungifa omapandela etu;
Omwene na shakenife omaindilo oye aeshe.
6 Paamha ondi shi shii,
Omwene ota xupifa omuvaekwa waye,
ndele te mu udu meulu laye liyapuki
omafindano manene eke laye lokolulyo.
7 Oku na ovo have lineekele omatemba oita
navamwe eenghambe;
ndelenee fye hatu hepaulula
edina lOmwene Kalunga ketu.
8 Vo kave na apa tava kwatelele,
ndele tava natwa po,
ndelenee fye otu li ofika, itatu tengauka vali.
9 Omwene, yandja efindano kohamba!
Tu uda, ngeenge hatu ifana.
A Prayer for Victory
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!
May the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from his Temple
and give you aid from Mount Zion.
3 May he accept all your offerings
and be pleased with all your sacrifices.
4 May he give you what you desire
and make all your plans succeed.
5 Then we will shout for joy over your victory
and celebrate your triumph by praising our God.
May the Lord answer all your requests.
6 Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;
he answers him from his holy heaven
and by his power gives him great victories.
7 Some trust in their war chariots
and others in their horses,
but we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
8 Such people will stumble and fall,
but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call.
