Eimbilopandulo molwekwafo likumwifa laKalunga
Epsalome, eimbilo la pewa enyakwa lolwiimbo.
1 Edu alishe, kuwilila Kalunga!
2 Imbileni efimano ledina laye ehambelelo,
neimbilopandulo laye nali mone etumbaloshinge.
3 Tyeni kuKalunga: “Oilonga yoye ikumwifa oi fike peni!
Molwouyadi weenghono doye,
ovatondi voye otave linyongamene kwoove.
4 Oilongo aishe oi nokulinyongamena kwoove
noku ku imbila,
nokwiimbila edina loye ehambelelo.” Sela
5 Ileni, mu tale oilonga yaKalunga,
ou ta kumwifa mokukala kwaye kombada yovanhu.
6 Omeva efuta okwe a shitukifa edu likukutu,
opo ve li taulule kolupadi;
onghee nee twa kala twe mu hafela.
7 Meenghono daye ota pangele fiyo alushe;
omesho aye otaa pashukile oiwana yoilongo:
ovalundakani ite va efa va kulukute nande. Sela
8 Oiwana nye, tangeni Kalunga ketu,

9 Oye e tu pa omwenyo,
neemhadi detu ine di efa, di fenhuke.
10 Heeno, Kalunga, Ove we tu pepela tuu,
owe tu yelifa ngaashi outale woshisiliveli tau yelifwa.
11 Owa efa, tu yulwe keendjadja,
nowe tu kuminika oudjuu mudjuu meembuda detu;
12 Owa efa, ovanhu va ende kombada yomitwe detu,
otwa li hatu taulula omundilo nomeva;
ndelenee hauxuuninwa owe tu kufa mo,
nowe tu twala mouyadi.
13 Onde uya meumbo loye nomalungwinifoyambo,
onde ku wanifila omaudaneko ange,
14 oo nde a tonga nomilungu dange,
nokanya kange ke e ku udanekela, eshi nda li moudjuu.
15 Onde uya, nde ku etela omalungwinifoyambo,
eedi da ondoka,
nomwifi wetwimino loikombo;
onda hala okulongekida eedidi neehove. Sela
16 Ileni amushe, mu pwilikine,

ndi mu hepaululile ashishe,
eshi Ye a ningila omwenyo wange.
17 Ame onda ifana kuye mokule nokanya kange,
nehambelelo ola holokela shimwe melaka lange.
18 Ngeno nda diladila owii momutima wange,
Omwene ngeno ina uda nge.
19 Ndelenee Kalunga okwa uda nge nokuli,
okwa dimbulukwa eindilo lange.
20 Kalunga na fimanekwe,
ou ina dina eindilo lange,
nouwanghenda waye ine u nyekulula nge.
A Song of Praise and Thanksgiving
1 Praise God with shouts of joy, all people!
2 Sing to the glory of his name;
offer him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, “How wonderful are the things you do!
Your power is so great
that your enemies bow down in fear before you.
4 Everyone on earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
they sing praises to your name.”
5 Come and see what God has done,
his wonderful acts among people.
6 He changed the sea into dry land;
our ancestors crossed the river on foot.
There we rejoiced because of what he did.
7 He rules forever by his might
and keeps his eyes on the nations.
Let no rebels rise against him.
8 Praise our God, all nations;
let your praise be heard.
9 He has kept us alive
and has not allowed us to fall.
10 You have put us to the test, God;
as silver is purified by fire,
so you have tested us.
11 You let us fall into a trap
and placed heavy burdens on our backs.
12 You let our enemies trample us;
we went through fire and flood,
but now you have brought us to a place of safety.
13 I will bring burnt offerings to your house;
I will offer you what I promised.
14 I will give you what I said I would
when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer sheep to be burned on the altar;
I will sacrifice bulls and goats,
and the smoke will go up to the sky.
16 Come and listen, all who honor God,
and I will tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried to him for help;
I praised him with songs.
18 If I had ignored my sins,
the Lord would not have listened to me.
19 But God has indeed heard me;
he has listened to my prayer.
20 I praise God,
because he did not reject my prayer
or keep back his constant love from me.
