Okuyuulukwa Kalunga
Episalomi lyaDavid sho a li mombuga yaJudea
1 Kalunga, ongoye Kalunga kandje,
otandi ku kongo.
Onde ku yuulukwa nda mana mo;
ngaashi evi lya kukuta lya sa oluteni,
osho omwenyo gwandje gwe ku yuulukwa.
2 Nandi ku mone u li muuyapuki woye;
nandi tale oonkondo nesimano lyoye.
3 Okusilwa ohenda kungoye oku vulile ndje okukala nomufudho,
notandi ke ku simaneka.
4 Onda hala oku ku hambelela, manga ndi na omwenyo;
megalikano otandi yeluthile omaako gandje kungoye.
5 Omwenyo gwandje otagu kuta ongaashi moshituthi;
omilungu nokana kandje otake ku tanga.
6 Otandi ku dhimbulukwa mokukala kwandje;
otandi ku dhiladhila miikako yuusiku,
7 oshoka ongoye ekwatho lyandje,
momuzile gwomawawa goye
otandi imbi nokunyanyukwa.
8 Otandi ku dhama;
oshikaha shoye osha gamena ndje.
9 Mbo taa kongo omwenyo gwandje,
otaa ka kulukila meso.
10 Otaa ka lika po kegongamwele
notaa ka ninga oondya dhoombandje.
11 Ihe omukwaniilwa ota ka nyanyukwa,
oshoka Kalunga ote mu pe esindano.
Ayehe mbo haa uvaneke medhina lyaKalunga,
otaa ke mu hambelela,
ihe omakana gaafundja otaga ka mwenekwa.
(A psalm by David when he was in the desert of Judah.)
God's Love Means More than Life
1 You are my God. I worship you.
In my heart, I long for you,
as I would long for a stream
in a scorching desert.
2 I have seen your power
and your glory
in the place of worship.
3 Your love means more
than life to me,
and I praise you.
4 As long as I live,
I will pray to you.
5 I will sing joyful praises
and be filled with excitement
like a guest at a banquet.
6 I think about you, God,
before I go to sleep,
and my thoughts turn to you
during the night.
7 You have helped me,
and I sing happy songs
in the shadow of your wings.
8 I stay close to you,
and your powerful arm
supports me.
9 All who want to kill me
will end up in the ground.
10 Swords will run them through,
and wild dogs will eat them.
11 Because of you, our God,
the king will celebrate
with your faithful followers,
but liars will be silent.
