1 Kalunga, omolwashike we tu ekelehi ngeyi?
Oto geele oonzi dhuusita woye sigo aluhe?
2 Dhimbulukwa aantu mbo we ya kulile muupika;
aantu we ya hupitha, ya ninge yoye.
Tala ondundu Sion, ehala lyokukala kwoye.
3 Enda momakulukuma ngaka;
aatondi oya hanagula po ashihe motempeli.
4 Aatondi oya dhanene pehala lyoye eyapuki;
oya dhike po omapandela gawo.
5 Oya li ya fa aalumentu taa kwata omakuya e taa keke po okuti.
6 Oya hanagula po iikwashiti ayihe nomakuya nonoosilwa dhawo.
7 Oya fike po otempeli yoye
noya nyateke ehala mpo ho simanekelwa.
8 Oya popi ya ti: “Otatu ya kombo po thilu!”
Ehala kehe moshilongo lyokusimaneka Kalunga oye li fike po.
9 Inapu hupa nando efano lyokuholola okukalapo kwaKalunga;
inapu hupa omuhunganeki.
Kaku na ngoka a tseya kutya otashi kala ngeyi sigo uunake.
10 Kalunga, sigo uunake aatondi taye ku sheke?
Otaa ethiwa, ya tumbule owala edhina lyoye?
11 Omolwashike itoo tu kwatha?
Omolwashike itoo ganeke oshikaha shoye, u ya yone po?
12 Kalunga, ongoye omukwaniilwa gwetu okuza konale;
owa kala omuhupithi gwetu.
13 Owa topola efuta noonkondo dhoye;
owa nyanyula omitse dhiilyani yomomeya.
14 Owa tete ko omitse dhevovo,
nolya ningi oondya dhiilikama yomombuga.
15 Owe egulula oothithiya nomilonga dhomevi
nowa pwinike omilonga ndhoka hadhi tondoka ethimbo alihe.
16 Owa shiti omutenya nosho wo uusiku;
owa tula ko etango nomwedhi.
17 Ongoye wa tende oongamba dhevi;
owa tula ko othinge nokufu.
18 Omuwa, tala aatondi yoye, nkene taye ku sheke,

19 Ino gandja oomwenyo dhomapongo kiilikama;
ino dhimbwa aantu yoye aatidhaganwa.
20 Dhimbulukwa ehangano ndyo wa hangana natse;
oshilongo oshu udha omahalutho nepiyagano.
21 Ino etha aathiminikwa ya sithwe ohoni;
oohepele nomapongo nage ku pandule.
22 Kalunga, thikama, u ipopile!
Aagoya otaa ku yolo ethimbo alihe.
23 Tala, aatondi otaa tumbula omatilitho nomahalutho ethimbo kehe.
Maschil of Asaph.
1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
