Okwiinekela Omuwa
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Ngame otandi inekele Omuwa,
a gamene ndje.
One aagoya ngiini,
sho tamu lombwele ndje:
“Tukila koondundu wa fa okadhila,
2 oshoka aakolokoshi otaa lukile omatati
notaa pameke iikuti moonkandja,
ya yahele aayuuki momilema.
3 Omuyuuki ita vulu okuninga sha,
uuna ku na epiyagano.”
4 Omuwa oku li motempeli ye ondjapuki;
oshipangelapundi she oshi li megulu.
Oye a tala kaantu ayehe
nokwa tseya shoka taa longo.
5 Aayuuki naakolokoshi ote ya konakona shi thike pamwe;
oku tonde unene ookakombwiilitha.
6 Aakolokoshi ote ya lokithile omakala gomulilo nosulufuli;
ote ya geele noku ya pepithila ombepo ompyu.
7 Omuwa oye omuyuuki noku hole iilonga iiwanawa;
mboka haa longo uuwanawa,
otaa ka kala puye.
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Trusting the Lord
1 The Lord is my fortress!
Don't say to me,
“Escape like a bird
to the mountains!”
2 You tell me, “Watch out!
Those evil people have put
their arrows on their bows,
and they are standing
in the shadows,
aiming at good people.
3 What can an honest person do
when everything crumbles?”
4 The Lord is sitting
in his sacred temple
on his throne in heaven.
He knows everything we do
because he sees us all.
5 The Lord tests honest people,
but despises those
who are cruel
and love violence.
6 He will send fiery coals
and flaming sulfur
down on the wicked,
and they will drink nothing
but a scorching wind.
7 The Lord always does right
and wants justice done.
Everyone who does right
will see his face.
