Okuyuulukwa kongulu yaKalunga
Episalomi lyezimo lyaKora
1 Otempeli yoye onde yi hokwa ngiini,
Omuwa Omunankondoawike!
2 Omwenyo gwandje otagu yuulukwa
okuya motempeli yOmuwa.
Omutima nolutu lwandje olu na enyanyu
okuuka kuKalunga omunamwenyo.
3 Enza olya tungu oshihandhila,
nevalelanganda olya mono egumbo.
Omo lya kaleke oyana popepi noshiyambelo shoye,
Omuwa Omunankondoawike,
omukwaniilwa gwandje naKalunga kandje.
4 Aanelago oomboka haa kala motempeli yoye
notaye ku hambelele aluhe.
5 Aanelago oomboka taa pewa oonkondo kungoye,
oomboka ye li molweendo oluyapuki
taa uka kuSion.
6 Sho taa ende mesilu lyomombuga,
otaye li shitukitha oothithiya,
nomvula yontemuna otayi li udhitha omeya.
7 Otaa nkondopala, sho taa humu ko;
otaa ka holoka koshipala shaKalunga muSion.
8 Omuwa Kalunga Omunankondoawike,

Kalunga kaJakob, uva ndje!
9 Kalunga, yambeka omukwaniilwa,
omugwayekwa gwoye omuholike.
10 Okukala esiku limwe motempeli yoye
oku vule okukala omasiku geyuvi palwe.
Ngame onda hokwa okukala pomweelo gwegumbo lyaKalunga kandje,
shi vule okukala nomagumbo gaakaanakalunga.
11 Oshoka Omuwa Kalunga oye uuyelele negameno;
ote tu sile ohenda noku tu nenepeka.
Mboka haa longo uuwanawa,
otaa kala yaa na omupya.
12 Kalunga Omunankondoawike,
aanelago oomboka haa ku inekele!
Longing for God's House
1 How I love your Temple, Lord Almighty!
2 How I want to be there!
I long to be in the Lord's Temple.
With my whole being I sing for joy
to the living God.
3 Even the sparrows have built a nest,
and the swallows have their own home;
they keep their young near your altars,
Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
4 How happy are those who live in your Temple,
always singing praise to you.
5 How happy are those whose strength comes from you,
who are eager to make the pilgrimage to Mount Zion.
6 As they pass through the dry valley of Baca,
it becomes a place of springs;
the autumn rain fills it with pools.
7 They grow stronger as they go;
they will see the God of gods on Zion.
8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty.
Listen, O God of Jacob!
9 Bless our king, O God,
the king you have chosen.
10 One day spent in your Temple
is better than a thousand anywhere else;
I would rather stand at the gate of the house of my God
than live in the homes of the wicked.
11 The Lord is our protector and glorious king,
blessing us with kindness and honor.
He does not refuse any good thing
to those who do what is right.
12 Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you!
