Omuwa ta gamene aantu ye
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Aaisraeli naa tye:
Omuwa ando ina kala pamwe natse,
ando otu uka peni?
2 “Omuwa ando ina gama kutse,
aatondi sho ye tu ponokele,
3 ando oye tu hutu po thilu,
sho ya li ye tu sila ondjahi.
4 Omuwa ando ina kala pamwe natse,
efundja ando lye tu kombo po,
eyelu etilithi lye tu kungulula po,
5 nomeya ga lundalala ga yi natse.”
6 Tu hambeleleni Omuwa,
sho inaa etha aatondi yetu ye tu hanagule po.
7 Otwa hunuka ngaashi ondhila tayi zi momwigo gwomuyuli;
omwigo ogwa teka, otse notwa manguluka.
8 Ekwatho lyetu otali zi kOmuwa,
omushiti gwegulu nogwevi.
A Song of degrees of David.
1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
