1 Omuwa, ino geela ndje wa sa ondjahi!
Ino dhenga ndje wa geya!
2 Sila ndje ohenda, Omuwa,

Koleka ndje, oshoka onda loloka nayi
3 nondi na uudhigu uunene

Omuwa, sigo uunake to kala inoo kwatha ndje?
4 Ila, u hupithe ndje, Omuwa;

5 Mehala lyaasi omuntu ite ku dhimbulukwa,
nokamu na ngoka te ku hambelele.
6 Ngame onda dhengwa kuuwehame;
kehe uusiku ombete yandje oya tuta kokulila kwandje,

8 Zii po pungame, ne aakolokoshi!
Omuwa otu uvu okulila kwandje;

nota zimine eindilo lyandje.
10 Aatondi yandje ayehe otaa ka mwenekwa
e taa sithwa ohoni;
otaa ka tidhwa po mepiyagano lyohaluka.

A Prayer in Time of Trouble
1 Don't punish me, Lord,
or even correct me
when you are angry!
2 Have pity on me and heal
my feeble body.
My bones tremble with fear,
3 and I am in deep distress.
How long will it be?
4 Turn and come to my rescue.
Show your wonderful love
and save me, Lord.
5 If I die, I cannot praise you
or even remember you.
6 My groaning has worn me out.
At night my bed and pillow
are soaked with tears.
7 Sorrow has made my eyes dim,
and my sight has failed
because of my enemies.
8 You, Lord, heard my crying,
and those hateful people
had better leave me alone.
9 You have answered my prayer
and my plea for mercy.
10 My enemies will be ashamed
and terrified,
as they quickly run away
in complete disgrace.
