Okuyuulukwa kongulu yaKalunga
Episalomi lyezimo lyaKora
1 Otempeli yoye onde yi hokwa ngiini,
Omuwa Omunankondoawike!
2 Omwenyo gwandje otagu yuulukwa
okuya motempeli yOmuwa.
Omutima nolutu lwandje olu na enyanyu
okuuka kuKalunga omunamwenyo.
3 Enza olya tungu oshihandhila,
nevalelanganda olya mono egumbo.
Omo lya kaleke oyana popepi noshiyambelo shoye,
Omuwa Omunankondoawike,
omukwaniilwa gwandje naKalunga kandje.
4 Aanelago oomboka haa kala motempeli yoye
notaye ku hambelele aluhe.
5 Aanelago oomboka taa pewa oonkondo kungoye,
oomboka ye li molweendo oluyapuki
taa uka kuSion.
6 Sho taa ende mesilu lyomombuga,
otaye li shitukitha oothithiya,
nomvula yontemuna otayi li udhitha omeya.
7 Otaa nkondopala, sho taa humu ko;
otaa ka holoka koshipala shaKalunga muSion.
8 Omuwa Kalunga Omunankondoawike,
uva egalikano lyandje.
Kalunga kaJakob, uva ndje!
9 Kalunga, yambeka omukwaniilwa,
omugwayekwa gwoye omuholike.
10 Okukala esiku limwe motempeli yoye
oku vule okukala omasiku geyuvi palwe.
Ngame onda hokwa okukala pomweelo gwegumbo lyaKalunga kandje,
shi vule okukala nomagumbo gaakaanakalunga.
11 Oshoka Omuwa Kalunga oye uuyelele negameno;
ote tu sile ohenda noku tu nenepeka.
Mboka haa longo uuwanawa,
otaa kala yaa na omupya.
12 Kalunga Omunankondoawike,
aanelago oomboka haa ku inekele!

The Joy of Worship
1 Lord God All-Powerful,
your temple is so lovely!
2 Deep in my heart I long
for your temple,
and with all that I am
I sing joyful songs to you.
3 Lord God All-Powerful,
my King and my God,
sparrows find a home
near your altars;
swallows build nests there
to raise their young.
4 You bless everyone
who lives in your house,
and they sing your praises.
5 You bless all who depend
on you for their strength
and all who deeply desire
to visit your temple.
6 When they reach Dry Valley,
springs start flowing,
and the autumn rain fills it
with pools of water.
7 Your people grow stronger,
and you, the God of gods,
will be seen in Zion.
8 Lord God All-Powerful,
the God of Jacob,
please answer my prayer!
9 You are the shield
that protects your people,
and I am your chosen one.
Won't you smile on me?
10 One day in your temple
is better than a thousand
anywhere else.
I would rather serve
in your house,
than live in the homes
of the wicked.
11 Our Lord and our God,
you are like the sun
and also like a shield.
You treat us with kindness
and with honor,
never denying any good thing
to those who live right.
12 Lord God All-Powerful,
you bless everyone
who trusts you.
