1 Omwene, onda hala, ndi ku tange nomutima aushe,
ame ndi ku imbile ehambelelo moipafi yookalunga;
2 onda hala okuwila eombe,
nda taalela otembeli yoye iyapuki,

molwouwanghenda noudiinini woye,
edina loye neudaneko loye
owe i nenepekifa, shi dule shito.
3 Eshi nda li nde ku ifana owa uda nge
owa dika nge, onyati,

4 Eehamba adishe dokombada yedu

ngeenge tadi udu eendjovo domokanya koye,
5 ndele tadi ya okwiimbila oilonga yOmwene,
shaashi oshinge shOmwene oshinene,
6 osheshi Omwene Oye a tumbala,
ndele ta yavelele omudinwa,
ndelenee ovalituliko ohe va dimbulukile kokule.
7 Ngeenge handi ende pokati kamumhaka namumhaka,
Ove to diinine omwenyo wange,
ndele to nane eke loye,
u kelele onyanya yovatondi vange,
nolulyo loye ohali xupifa nge.
8 Omwene ote ke shi wanifila nge.
Omwene, ouwanghenda woye otau kala po alushe.
Ino umbilila oilonga yomake oye.
A Prayer of Thanksgiving
1 I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
I sing praise to you before the gods.
2 I face your holy Temple,
bow down, and praise your name
because of your constant love and faithfulness,
because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.
3 You answered me when I called to you;
with your strength you strengthened me.
4 All the kings in the world will praise you, Lord,
because they have heard your promises.
5 They will sing about what you have done
and about your great glory.
6 Even though you are so high above,
you care for the lowly,
and the proud cannot hide from you.
7 When I am surrounded by troubles,
you keep me safe.
You oppose my angry enemies
and save me by your power.
8 You will do everything you have promised;
Lord, your love is eternal.
Complete the work that you have begun.
