1 Momayaraarero wandje ami
mba kwa ku Muhona,
neye we ndji zuvira.
2 Muhona, ndji yama kovanavizeze
na kovanavineya.
3 Ndjambi nge mu tjite vi,
oweṋe vanavineya?
Eye nge mu vere komuhingo uṋe?
4 Eye me mu yaha noviku ovitwe
vyomurwe wovita,
ne mu vete nomakara omapyu.
5 Okutura mokati keṋu okokuvi tjimuna
okutura mOmesek
na mokati kovature va Kedar.
6 Ami mba tura orure tjinene puna
ovandu mba tonda ohange!
7 Ami mbi vanga ohange,
nungwari tji mba nyamukura,
owo tjandje mave vanga oviposa.

A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1 When I am in trouble, I pray,
2 “Come and save me, Lord,
from deceitful liars!”
3 What punishment is fitting
for you deceitful liars?
4 Your reward should be
sharp and flaming arrows!
5 But I must live as a foreigner
among the people of Meshech
and in the tents of Kedar.
6 I have spent too much time
living among people
who hate peace.
7 I am in favor of peace,
but when I speak of it,
all they want is war.
