Uukolokoshi waantu
(Eps. 53)Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Aagoya otaa ilombwele taa ti:
“Kaku na Kalunga!”
Aantu mbaka oya shunduka noya longo iisithahoni;
kaku na nando ogumwe ta longo uuwanawa.
2 Omuwa oku li megulu
noto ontamene aantu kombanda yevi,
opo a tale, ngele oku na omunandunge
nongele oku na nando ogumwe
te mu simaneke.
3 Ihe ayehe oya puguma;
ayehe oya yonana.
Kaku na nando gumwe ta longo shoka shi li mondjila,
nando ogumwe.
4 “Aakolokoshi mbaka inaye shi tseya nani?”
Omuwa ta pula.
“Oyo haa hupu mokuyuga aantu yandje
yo ihaa galikana ndje.”
5 Oyo taa ka adhika kehaluko enene,
oshoka Kalunga okwa gama kumboka haa vulika kuye.
6 Aakolokoshi ohaa shunitha monima
oompangela dhomwiifupipiki,
ihe Omuwa oye omugameni gwe.
7 Ando muSion mu zile Israel ekwatho!
Uuna Omuwa ta ka hepulutha natango aantu ye,
nena Aaisraeli otaa ka nyanyukwa ngiini!
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
No One Can Ignore the Lord
1 Only a fool would say,
“There is no God!”
People like that are worthless;
they are heartless and cruel
and never do right.
2 From heaven the Lord
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.
3 But all of them are corrupt;
no one does right.
4 Won't you evil people learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the Lord's people.
5 But you will be frightened,
because God is on the side
of every good person.
6 You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
but the Lord protects them.
7 I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our Lord, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.
