Okugeya nesilohenda lyaKalunga
Oshitewo shaDavid konima sho Doeg omuAdomise a yi kuSaul e te mu lombwele kutya David okwa zi megumbo lyaAhimelek
1 Munankondo ngoye,
omolwashike to inenepekele uukolokoshi woye?
Esilohenda lyaKalunga otali kala sigo aluhe.
2 Oto longekidha okuyona po yakweni;
elaka lyoye olya tsa ngaashi okakululo.
Aluhe oto toto omahokololo giifundja.
3 Ou hole uukolokoshi peha lyuuwanawa
nou hole iifundja peha lyoshili.
4 Mufundja ngoye,
ou hole okupopya nayi yakweni!
5 Onkee ano Kalunga ote ku hulitha po sigo aluhe;
ote ku kwata e te ku umbile kokule noyaandjeni;
ote ku tembudha mo mehala lyaanamwenyo.
6 Aayuuki otaye shi mono e taa tila;
otaye ku yolo e taa ti:
7 “Tala kunguka inaa pumbwa egameno lyaKalunga,
ihe okwi inekele uuyamba we owindji,
mokukolokosha omo a kongo egameno.”
8 Ihe ngame onda fa omuti gwomuolivi gwa mena megumbo lyaKalunga;
otandi inekele esilohenda lye aluhe sigo aluhe.
9 Kalunga, onda hala oku ku pandula aluhe;
ndi ku pandulile iilonga yoye.
Megongalo lyaantu yoye
otandi hokolola uuwanawa woye.
(A special psalm by David for the music leader. He wrote this when Doeg from Edom went to Saul and said, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”)
God Is in Control
1 You people may be strong
and brag about your sins,
but God can be trusted
day after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes,
and your lying words cut
like a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evil
than good, and tell lies
than speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things,
and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever!
He will grab you and drag you
from your homes.
You will be uprooted
and left to die.
6 When good people see
this fearsome sight,
they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now!
Instead of trusting God,
they trusted their wealth
and their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive tree
growing in God's house,
and I can count on his love
forever and ever.
9 I will always thank God
for what he has done;
I will praise his good name
when his people meet.
