Okupula ekwatho
1 Sho ndi li muudhigu,
otandi galikana Omuwa,
oye notu uvu ndje.
2 Gamena ndje, ndaa kale mongundu yaakotokeli noyaafundja.
3 Aakotokeli ne, Kalunga ote mu ningi ngiini?
Ote mu geele ngiini?
4 Ote mu tumine ondjumbeta
yi na iikuti ya tsa
nomakala ga hanya omulilo.
5 Osho iihuna okukala mokati keni,
osha faathana nokukala muMeshek
nenge okukala maantu yaKedar.
6 Onda kala olule mokati kaantu
haa tondo ombili.
7 Uuna tandi popi ombili,
oya hala iita.

A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1 When I am in trouble, I pray,
2 “Come and save me, Lord,
from deceitful liars!”
3 What punishment is fitting
for you deceitful liars?
4 Your reward should be
sharp and flaming arrows!
5 But I must live as a foreigner
among the people of Meshech
and in the tents of Kedar.
6 I have spent too much time
living among people
who hate peace.
7 I am in favor of peace,
but when I speak of it,
all they want is war.
