Egalikano muudhigu
Oshitewo shaDavid, sho a li mekololo; ta galikana
1 Otandi ithana Omuwa, a kwathe ndje;
otandi yeluthile ewi lyandje kOmuwa,
a sile ndje ohenda.
2 Otandi holola omayemato gandje koshipala she;
otandi mu faalele uudhigu wandje.
3 Onda kanitha omukumo,
ihe Omuwa ota tseya shoka ndi na okuninga.
Mondjila moka ndi na okweenda,
aatondi yandje oya tega mo omwigo.
4 Sho te tala moluha,
kaku na ngoka e na ko nasha nangame.
Kandi na ngo ta gamene ndje,
kape na ngo e na oshimpwiyu nangame.
5 Omuwa, otandi ku kugile ekwatho;
ongoye omugameni gwandje;
ongoye awike nda pumbwa mokukalamwenyo kwandje.
6 Pulakena egalikano lyandje,
oshoka ondi li muudhigu.
Hupitha ndje miikaha yaatidhagani yandje,
oshoka oye vule ndje oonkondo.
7 Hupitha ndje moothina,
opo ndi simaneke edhina lyoye.
Aayuuki otaa ka kunduka ndje
moluuwanawa we u ningile ndje.
(A special psalm and a prayer by David when he was in the cave.)
A Prayer for Help
1 I pray to you, Lord.
I beg for mercy.
2 I tell you all my worries
and my troubles,
3 and whenever I feel low,
you are there to guide me.
A trap has been hidden
along my pathway.
4 Even if you look,
you won't see anyone
who cares enough
to walk beside me.
There is no place to hide,
and no one who really cares.
5 I pray to you, Lord!
You are my place of safety,
and you are my choice
in the land of the living.
Please answer my prayer.
I am completely helpless.
6 Help! They are chasing me,
and they are too strong.
7 Rescue me from this prison,
so I can praise your name.
And when your people notice
your wonderful kindness to me,
they will rush to my side.
