Ehempululo nedhiminopo
oshitewa shaDavid.
1 Aanelago oomboka oondjo dhawo dha dhimwa po,
mboka ya kuthilwa po omayono gawo.
2 Omunelago omuntu ngoka Omuwa itee mu pe uusama
noke na iifundja nando yasha.
3 Sho nda li inee hempulula oondjo dhandje,
onda li nda pwa po kokulila esiku kehe.
4 Uusiku nomutenya wa li wa geela ndje, Omuwa;
omatha gandje oga li ga kana,
ngaashi oshitosi tashi thekuka po kuupyu wopothinge.
5 Opo ihe onde ku hempululile oondjo dhandje;
inandi holeka omayono gandje.
Onda tokola oku ku hempululila omapuko gandje,
nowa dhimi po oondjo dhandje adhihe.
6 Aantu yoye mbo ye ku inekela,
otaa ku galikana momathimbo guudhigu;
oshikungulu nando oshi nenepale,
itashi ya gumu.
7 Ongoye egameno lyandje;
owa hupitha ndje momupya.
Otandi imbi mokule, sho wa hupitha ndje
naasho wa gamene ndje.
8 Omuwa ota ti:
“Otandi ku ulukile ondjila
ndjo u na okulandula;
otandi ku wilike e tandi ku tonatele.”
9 Ino kala egoya ngaashi onkambe nenge emulutiya,
mbyo hayi endithwa kiitomo nokomiya,
opo yi ngodhupale.
10 Aadhudhu otaa ka lila,
ihe mbo haa inekele Omuwa,
ote ya gamene omolwesilohenda lye.
11 Ne aayuuki, nyanyukweni ne mu imbe ekandanga omolwiilonga yOmuwa.
Ne mbo hamu vulika kuye, tanteni.
Confession and Forgiveness
1 Happy are those whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
2 Happy is the one whom the Lord does not accuse of doing wrong
and who is free from all deceit.
3 When I did not confess my sins,
I was worn out from crying all day long.
4 Day and night you punished me, Lord;
my strength was completely drained,
as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
5 Then I confessed my sins to you;
I did not conceal my wrongdoings.
I decided to confess them to you,
and you forgave all my sins.
6 So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need;
when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in,
it will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will save me from trouble.
I sing aloud of your salvation,
because you protect me.
8 The Lord says, “I will teach you the way you should go;
I will instruct you and advise you.
9 Don't be stupid like a horse or a mule,
which must be controlled with a bit and bridle
to make it submit.”
10 The wicked will have to suffer,
but those who trust in the Lord
are protected by his constant love.
11 You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice
because of what the Lord has done.
You that obey him, shout for joy!
