Ondjimbo mohango yomukwaniilwa
Oshitewo kezimo lyaKora; Eimbilo lyohole
1 Iitya iiwanawa oyi li komutima gwandje,
mokutotela omukwaniilwa ondjimbo ndjika.
Ongopena yomunyoli onkulungu,
elaka lyandje oli na nale oshitewo.
2 Ngoye ependa mokati komakanda agehe;
ngoye omupopi onkulungu.
Kalunga okwe ku yambeka aluhe.
3 Homata egonga lyoye, ndjayi omunankondo;
ngoye omunene nowa simana.
4 Osheendo shomukwaniilwa nashi adhe esindano
okupopila oshili nuuyuuki!
Oonkondo dhoye otadhi ku pe esindano ekumithi.
5 Iikuti yoye oya tsa,
otayi tyuula momitima dhaatondi yoye;
iigwana otayi ihata poompadhi dhoye.
6 Epangelo ndyoka Kalunga e ku pe,
otali kala sigo aluhe.
Oto pangele aantu yoye nuuyuuki,
7 ou hole shoka shu uka nou tonde uuwinayi.
Onkee Kalunga, Kalunga koye,
e ku hogolola nokwe ku tilile eyambeko olindji,
u vule omukwaniilwa kehe.
8 Omigwayo dha nika nawa odha tilwa koonguwo dhoye;
aayimbi otaye ku imbile moombala dha polekwa nomasipa goondjamba.
9 Mokati kaakiintu aambala omu na aakadhona, aana yaakwaniilwa.
Kolulyo lwoshipangelapundi shoye
okwa thikama omunyekadhi, a zala omakwilika goshingolielela.
10 Mufuko gwomukwaniilwa, pulakena sho te ti —
dhimbwa yaandjeni naakweni.
11 Eopalo lyoye otali ku hokitha komukwaniilwa;
oye omuwa gwoye, ou na okuvulika kuye.
12 Aatiro otaa ku etele oombalagelo;
aayamba otaa kambadhala oku ku heka neliko.
13 Omuna gwokombanda omukadhona
oku li mombala nokwo opala ngiini!
Omuzalo gwe ogwa tungwa noondali dhoshingoli.
14 Momuzalo gwe guulenga
oye mu fala pomukwaniilwa, a landulwa kiinkumbi ye,
nayo wo oya falwa pomukwaniilwa.
15 Oya li ya nyanyukwa taa ligola
e taa ningine mombala yomukwaniilwa.
16 Ndjayi yandje, oto ka mona aamwoyemati,
ya pingene oohekulu muukwaniilwa,
noto ke ya kwaniileka kombanda yevi alihe.
17 Ondjimbo yandje otayi taandelitha esimano lyoye sigo aluhe,
nakehe gumwe ote ke ku simaneka momathimbo gokomeho.

For a Royal Wedding
1 My thoughts are filled
with beautiful words
for the king,
and I will use my voice
as a writer would use
pen and ink.
2 No one is as handsome as you!
Your words are always kind.
That is why God
will always bless you.
3 Mighty king, glorious ruler,
strap on your sword
4 and ride out in splendor!
Win victories for truth
and mercy and justice.
Do fearsome things
with your powerful arm.
5 Send your sharp arrows
through enemy hearts
and make all nations fall
at your feet.
6 You are God, and you will rule
forever as king.
Your royal power
brings about justice.
7 You love justice and hate evil.
And so, your God chose you
and made you happier
than any of your friends.
8 The sweet aroma of the spices
myrrh, aloes, and cassia
covers your royal robes.
You enjoy the music of harps
in palaces decorated
with ivory.
9 Daughters of kings are here,
and your bride stands
at your right side,
wearing a wedding gown
trimmed with pure gold.
10 Bride of the king,
listen carefully to me.
Forget your own people
and your father's family. 11 The king adores you.
He is your master,
so do what he desires.
12 All of the richest people
from the city of Tyre
will try to influence you
13 with precious treasures.
Your bride, my king,
has inward beauty,
and her wedding gown is woven
with threads of gold.
14 Wearing the finest garments,
she is brought to you,
followed by her young friends,
the bridesmaids.
15 Everyone is excited,
as they follow you
to the royal palace.
16 Your sons and your grandsons
will also be kings
as your ancestors were.
You will make them rulers
everywhere on earth.
17 I will make your name famous
from now on,
and you will be praised
forever and ever.
