Omuwa ta gamene aantu ye
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Aaisraeli naa tye:
Omuwa ando ina kala pamwe natse,
ando otu uka peni?
2 “Omuwa ando ina gama kutse,
aatondi sho ye tu ponokele,
3 ando oye tu hutu po thilu,
sho ya li ye tu sila ondjahi.
4 Omuwa ando ina kala pamwe natse,
efundja ando lye tu kombo po,
eyelu etilithi lye tu kungulula po,
5 nomeya ga lundalala ga yi natse.”
6 Tu hambeleleni Omuwa,
sho inaa etha aatondi yetu ye tu hanagule po.
7 Otwa hunuka ngaashi ondhila tayi zi momwigo gwomuyuli;
omwigo ogwa teka, otse notwa manguluka.
8 Ekwatho lyetu otali zi kOmuwa,
omushiti gwegulu nogwevi.

Thanking the Lord for Victory
1 The Lord was on our side!
Let everyone in Israel say:
2 “The Lord was on our side!
Otherwise, the enemy attack
3 would have killed us all,
because it was furious.
4 We would have been swept away
in a violent flood
5 of high and roaring waves.”
6 Let's praise the Lord!
He protected us from enemies
who were like wild animals,
7 and we escaped like birds
from a hunter's torn net.
8 The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
who sends us help.
