Ehambelelo nepandulo
Episalomi lyaDavid; Eimbilo
1 Aantu amuhe, hambeleleni Kalunga!
2 Tangeni esimano lyedhina lye;
mu simanekeni nokuhambelela!
3 Tyeni kuKalunga:
“Iilonga yoye iikumithi ngiini!
Oonkondo dhoye odho oonene,
sho aatondi yoye taye ku tsile oongolo ya tila.
4 Kehe shimwe kombanda yevi otashi isizimike kungoye;
otayi ku imbile ehambelelo
notayi simaneke edhina lyoye.â€
5 Ileni, mu tale iilonga yaKalunga,

6 Okwa lundulula efuta, li ninge evi ekukutu;
ootate oya taaguluka omulonga kolupadhi.
Otse otwa nyanyukilwa iilonga ye.
7 Epangelo lye otali kala sigo aluhe;
omeho ge otaga tongolola iigwana.
Oonakwaavulika itaa vulu okutsa ondumbo naye.
8 Aantu ne, simanekeni Kalunga ketu;

10 Kalunga, owe tu yeleke;

11 Owe tu ethele momwigo
nowe tu tsike omitenge omidhigu koothingo dhetu.
12 Owe etha aatondi ye tu lyatagule;
otwa piti momulilo nomomeya,
ihe owe tu eta kehala lyomahupilo.
13 Otandi eta omafikilondjambo kotempeli yoye;

14 Otandi ku pe ngaashi nda popile,

15 Otandi ku yambele iimuna yo ondoka pamwe noonzi;

16 Ileni, pulakeneni amuhe mboka hamu tila Kalunga.
Otandi mu lombwele shoka Kalunga e shi ningile ndje.
17 Otandi mu kugile ekwatho;

18 Ando onda li nda mwenena oondjo dhandje inaandi dhi hempulula,
ando Omuwa ina uva ndje.
19 Ihe Kalunga oku uva ndje;

20 Otandi hambelele Kalunga,
sho inaa tinda eindilo lyandje,
ye a kale ando itaa sile ndje ohenda.

Shout Praises to God
1 Tell everyone on this earth
to shout praises to God!
2 Sing about his glorious name.
Honor him with praises.
3 Say to God, “Everything you do
is fearsome,
and your mighty power makes
your enemies come crawling.
4 You are worshiped by everyone!
We all sing praises to you.â€
5 Come and see the fearsome things
our God has done!
6 When God made the sea dry up,
our people walked across,
and because of him,
we celebrated there.
7 His mighty power rules forever,
and nothing the nations do
can be hidden from him.
So don't turn against God.
8 All of you people,
come praise our God!
Let his praises be heard.
9 God protects us from death
and keeps us steady.
10 Our God, you tested us,
just as silver is tested.
11 You trapped us in a net
and gave us heavy burdens.
12 You sent war chariots
to crush our skulls.
We traveled through fire
and through floods,
but you brought us
to a land of plenty.
13 I will bring sacrifices
into your house, my God,
and I will do what I promised
14 when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice my best sheep
and offer bulls and goats
on your altar.
16 All who worship God,
come here and listen;
I will tell you everything
God has done for me.
17 I prayed to the Lord,
and I praised him.
18 If my thoughts had been sinful,
he would have refused
to hear me.
19 But God did listen
and answered my prayer.
20 Let's praise God!
He listened when I prayed,
and he is always kind.
