Omunelago
1 Halleluja! Hambeleleni Omuwa!
Omunelago oye ngoka ha simaneke Omuwa,
oongoka e hole okuvulika kiipango ye.
2 Oluvalo lwe otalu kala olunankondo moshilongo;
oyana otaa yambekwa.
3 Megumbo lye otamu udha uuyamba nomaliko.
Nakehe shoka te shi longo,
oshu uka notashi kalelele.
4 Aayuuki momilema otaa ka mona uuyelele
osho wo mboka ye na ohenda,
olukeno noshili.
5 Omunelago oongoka kee shi omundalapata mokugandja,
noha longo ayihe pauyuuki.
6 Omuyuuki iha tenguka;
ota dhimbulukiwa aluhe.
7 Iha tila ngele u uvu onkundana ombwinayi;
oku na eitaalo lya kola nohi inekele Omuwa.
8 Iha kala niimpwiyu ye iha tila,
sigo a mono eshunduko lyaatondi ye.
9 Oha kwatha oohepele,
nakehe shoka te shi longo, oshu uka notashi kalelele;
esimano lye otali indjipala.
10 Aakaanakalunga otaye shi mono
e taa kanitha ombili;
otaa holola uutondwe wawo
e taa kana po.
Omahalo gawo itaga tompola sha.
The Happiness of a Good Person
1 Praise the Lord!
Happy is the person who honors the Lord,
who takes pleasure in obeying his commands.
2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land;
his descendants will be blessed.
3 His family will be wealthy and rich,
and he will be prosperous forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for good people,
for those who are merciful, kind, and just.
5 Happy is the person who is generous with his loans,
who runs his business honestly.
6 A good person will never fail;
he will always be remembered.
7 He is not afraid of receiving bad news;
his faith is strong, and he trusts in the Lord.
8 He is not worried or afraid;
he is certain to see his enemies defeated.
9 He gives generously to the needy,
and his kindness never fails;
he will be powerful and respected.
10 The wicked see this and are angry;
they glare in hate and disappear;
their hopes are gone forever.
