Ehambeleloimbilo lokufimaneka Kalunga
Epsalome, eimbilo mefiku leshabata.
1 Osha wapala unene okupandula Omwene,
nokwiimbila edina loye ehambelelo,
Ove ou wOkombadambada;
2 okuhepaulula ouwanghenda woye ongula inene,
nokutonga oudiinini woye oufiku;
3 mokushika okauta nonyalilo,
nokushika okaxumbafeta.
4 Osheshi Omwene, Ove wa hafifa nge mokulonga kwoye;
ohandi nyakukilwa oilonga yomake oye.
5 Omwene, oilonga yoye oinene, i fike peni!
Omadiladilo oye omale unene neenghono.
6 Omunhu ehe neendunge ite shi shiiva,
nelai itali shi koneke.
7 Ovadinikalunga eshi tava twiyuka ngaashi omwiidi,
novaningi vowii aveshe ngeenge tava hape ngaashi omiti,
otashi ningwa, vo va yaumuke ko fiyo alushe.
8 Ndelenee Omwene, Oove omunene
omutumbalekwa fiyo alushe!
9 Heeno, oshili, ovatondi voye, Omwene,
ovakondjifi voye shili otava nyonauka po;
ovaningi vowii aveshe otava halakanifwa.
10 Ndelenee oluvinga lange
oto li tumbifa pombada ngaashi olomhanda,
owa vaeka nge nomaadi mapelela;
11 Omesho ange okwa mona okufindika kwovatondi vange,
nomatwi ange e udite ehafo
molwoshiponga shovanawii ava tava fikamene nge.
12 Omukoshoki ota kulifwa,
a fa omuti womulunga, ota mene ta i pokule,
ngaashi omuti womusederi wokuLibanon.
13 Ova twikwa meumbo lOmwene,
otava tutuma momukunghulo
wondjuwo yaKalunga ketu,
14 vo nande nava kulupe, otava imike natango oiimati,
omiti ditalala da twiyauka omafo,
15 vo va kale tava udifa,
nokutya Kalunga Oye omuyuki,
emanya lange, muye kamu na nande oushima.
A Song of Praise
1 How good it is to give thanks to you, O Lord,
to sing in your honor, O Most High God,
2 to proclaim your constant love every morning
and your faithfulness every night,
3 with the music of stringed instruments
and with melody on the harp.
4 Your mighty deeds, O Lord, make me glad;
because of what you have done, I sing for joy.
5 How great are your actions, Lord!
How deep are your thoughts!
6 This is something a fool cannot know;
someone who is stupid cannot understand:
7 the wicked may grow like weeds,
those who do wrong may prosper;
yet they will be totally destroyed,
8 because you, Lord, are supreme forever.
9 We know that your enemies will die,
and all the wicked will be defeated.
10 You have made me as strong as a wild ox;
you have blessed me with happiness.
11 I have seen the defeat of my enemies
and heard the cries of the wicked.
12 The righteous will flourish like palm trees;
they will grow like the cedars of Lebanon.
13 They are like trees planted in the house of the Lord,
that flourish in the Temple of our God,
14 that still bear fruit in old age
and are always green and strong.
15 This shows that the Lord is just,
that there is no wrong in my protector.
