Okupula ekwatho
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Omuwa, sigo uunake to dhimbwa ndje?
Sigo aluhe?
Sigo uunake to holama ndje?
2 Osigo uunake ndi na okwiidhidhimikila uudhigu?
Sigo uunake iimpwiyu yu udha momutima gwandje, omutenya nuusiku?
Sigo uunake aatondi yandje
taa nyanyukilwa oluhepo lwandje?
3 Omuwa, Kalunga kandje,
tala ndje e to yamukula ndje.
Shunithila ndje oonkondo;
ino etha, ndi se.
4 Ino etha, aatondi yandje ya tye:
“Ngashingeyi otwe mu sinda!”
Ino ya etha, ya nyanyukilwe okugwilapo kwandje.
5 Ngame ondi inekela ohole yoye;
otandi nyanyukwa, sho to hupitha ndje.
6 Omuwa, otandi ku imbile,
oshoka owa ningile ndje uuwanawa.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
