Esilohenda lyaKalunga otali kala sigo aluhe.
2 Oto longekidha okuyona po yakweni;
elaka lyoye olya tsa ngaashi okakululo.
Aluhe oto toto omahokololo giifundja.
3 Ou hole uukolokoshi peha lyuuwanawa

7 “Tala kunguka inaa pumbwa egameno lyaKalunga,
ihe okwi inekele uuyamba we owindji,

8 Ihe ngame onda fa omuti gwomuolivi gwa mena megumbo lyaKalunga;
otandi inekele esilohenda lye aluhe sigo aluhe.
9 Kalunga, onda hala oku ku pandula aluhe;
ndi ku pandulile iilonga yoye.
Megongalo lyaantu yoye
otandi hokolola uuwanawa woye.
God's Judgment and Grace
1 Why do you boast, great one, of your evil?
God's faithfulness is eternal.
2 You make plans to ruin others;
your tongue is like a sharp razor.
You are always inventing lies.
3 You love evil more than good
and falsehood more than truth.
4 You love to hurt people with your words, you liar!
5 So God will ruin you forever;
he will take hold of you and snatch you from your home;
he will remove you from the world of the living.
6 Righteous people will see this and be afraid;
then they will laugh at you and say,
7 “Look, here is someone who did not depend on God for safety,
but trusted instead in great wealth
and looked for security in being wicked.”
8 But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God;
I trust in his constant love forever and ever.
9 I will always thank you, God, for what you have done;
in the presence of your people
I will proclaim that you are good.
