Egalikano lyokupula ekwatho
(Eps. 40:13-17)Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Kalunga, hupitha ndje!
Omuwa, hupitha ndje mbala!
2 Mbo taa kongo omwenyo gwandje,
naa sithwe ohoni e taa piyagana.
Mbo ya hala ndi shunduke,
naa shunithwe ya gugwa.
3 Mbo taa yolo ndje ongandja,
naa shunithwe ya sa ohoni.
4 Ayehe mboka taa ya kungoye,
naa nyanyukwe e taa ligola.
Ayehe mboka ye hole ehupitho lyoye,
aluhe naa tye: “Kalunga omunene ngiini!”
5 Ihe ngame epongo nohepele;
Kalunga, hedha ndje mbala popepi.
Ongoye omukwathi nomuhupithi gwandje;
Omuwa, ino kala ko.
A Prayer for Help
(Psalm 40.13-17)1 Save me, O God!
Lord, help me now!
2 May those who try to kill me
be defeated and confused.
May those who are happy because of my troubles
be turned back and disgraced.
3 May those who make fun of me
be dismayed by their defeat.
4 May all who come to you
be glad and joyful.
May all who are thankful for your salvation
always say, “How great is God!”
5 I am weak and poor;
come to me quickly, O God.
You are my savior and my Lord—
hurry to my aid!
