Egalikano muudhigu
Oshitewo shaDavid, sho a li mekololo; ta galikana
1 Otandi ithana Omuwa, a kwathe ndje;
otandi yeluthile ewi lyandje kOmuwa,
a sile ndje ohenda.
2 Otandi holola omayemato gandje koshipala she;
otandi mu faalele uudhigu wandje.
3 Onda kanitha omukumo,
ihe Omuwa ota tseya shoka ndi na okuninga.
Mondjila moka ndi na okweenda,
aatondi yandje oya tega mo omwigo.
4 Sho te tala moluha,
kaku na ngoka e na ko nasha nangame.
Kandi na ngo ta gamene ndje,
kape na ngo e na oshimpwiyu nangame.
5 Omuwa, otandi ku kugile ekwatho;
ongoye omugameni gwandje;
ongoye awike nda pumbwa mokukalamwenyo kwandje.
6 Pulakena egalikano lyandje,
oshoka ondi li muudhigu.
Hupitha ndje miikaha yaatidhagani yandje,
oshoka oye vule ndje oonkondo.
7 Hupitha ndje moothina,
opo ndi simaneke edhina lyoye.
Aayuuki otaa ka kunduka ndje
moluuwanawa we u ningile ndje.
A Prayer for Help
1 I call to the Lord for help;
I plead with him.
2 I bring him all my complaints;
I tell him all my troubles.
3 When I am ready to give up,
he knows what I should do.
In the path where I walk,
my enemies have hidden a trap for me.
4 When I look beside me,
I see that there is no one to help me,
no one to protect me.
No one cares for me.
5 Lord, I cry to you for help;
you, Lord, are my protector;
you are all I want in this life.
6 Listen to my cry for help,
for I am sunk in despair.
Save me from my enemies;
they are too strong for me.
7 Set me free from my distress;
then in the assembly of your people I will praise you
because of your goodness to me.
