Egalikano lyongulohi
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Ngele tandi ku ithana,
pe ndje eyamukulo, Kalunga, omupopili gwandje.
Sho nda li muudhigu,
owa kwatha ndje.
Sila ndje ohenda,
ngoye u uve egalikano lyandje.
2 Aantu ne, sigo uunake tamu kala nokusheka ndje?
Sigo uunake, tamu kala mu hole iinima yaa na ekwatho,
notamu landula iifundja?
3 Dhimbulukweni kutya
Omuwa okwi ihogololele omuyuuki,
notu uvu ndje,
sho tandi mu ithana.
4 Tileni Omuwa,
ne inamu yona;
dhiladhileni nawa oshinima shika,
uuna mwa lala moondunda dheni.
5 Eteleni Omuwa omayambo ngoka e ga hokwa,
ne mu mu inekele.
6 Oku na oyendji taa indile:
“Omuwa, tu pa natango omayambeko,
tu tala onteni!”
7 Ihe enyanyu ndyoka wa pe ndje,
oli vule lyaamboka ye na
iilya oyindji nomaviinu.
8 Ngele tandi ka lala,
otandi kotha nombili.
Omuwa, ongoye awike to gamene ndje,
ndi kale ndaa na nando ombudhi yasha.

An Evening Prayer
1 You are my God and protector.
Please answer my prayer.
I was in terrible distress,
but you set me free.
Now have pity and listen
as I pray.
2 How long will you people
refuse to respect me?
You love foolish things,
and you run after
what is worthless.
3 The Lord has chosen
everyone who is faithful
to be his very own,
and he answers my prayers.
4 But each of you
had better tremble
and turn from your sins.
Silently search your heart
as you lie in bed.
5 Offer the proper sacrifices
and trust the Lord.
6 There are some who ask,
“Who will be good to us?”
Let your kindness, Lord,
shine brightly on us.
7 You brought me more happiness
than a rich harvest
of grain and grapes.
8 I can lie down
and sleep soundly
because you, Lord,
will keep me safe.
