(A psalm by the clan of Korah for the music leader.)
A Prayer for Peace
1 Our Lord, you have blessed
your land
and made all go well
for Jacob's descendants.
2 You have forgiven the sin
and taken away the guilt
of your people.
3 Your fierce anger is no longer
aimed at us.
4 Our Lord and our God,
you save us!
Please bring us back home
and don't be angry.
5 Will you always be angry
with us and our families?
6 Won't you give us fresh life
and let your people be glad
because of you?
7 Show us your love
and save us!
8 I will listen to you, Lord God,
because you promise peace
to those who are faithful
and no longer foolish.
9 You are ready to rescue
everyone who worships you,
so that you will live with us
in all your glory.
10 Love and loyalty
will come together;
goodness and peace
will unite.
11 Loyalty will sprout
from the ground;
justice will look down
from the sky above.
12 Our Lord, you will bless us;
our land will produce
wonderful crops.
13 Justice will march in front,
making a path
for you to follow.
Mätu ta A'dokado Tu'de rota
1 OPI, nya'dote ṛo yauni amba be wari miro ri;
migo mi'ba Yisaraele ni a'done to'di kandrakado be.
2 Nye'be lidri miro te ta takozii rota
ago nye'be ànya te ta takozii cini ànyaro rota.
3 A'do kyilaro miro ànya be nye'be te
ago mi'bi oŋga miro kyilaro drina te.
4 Nyologo ama kovole, Äye Lu opa'ba amaro,
ago a'do miro kyilaro ama be ono nye'be!
5 Nya'dona ndi kyilaro ama be äduako ya?
Mi'bana Kyila miro ndi orine äduako ya?
6 Mi'ba ama ko mbara ro to'di,
lidri miro, käräṛu mi ro etaya?
7 Nyaka'da ŋgalu 'duro miro ämäri, Äye OPI,
ago nyozo ŋgaopa miro ämäri.
8 Mi'ba magabi tase OPI Lu ka oyebe ugu atane erine;
nda ka ta taliatokpe ro o'ba lidri ndaro ri, taŋgye'bai ndaro ri,
ondro ka'do ànya kotadri kote taoye amaamaro ya owo.
9 Endaro nda orivoya nja ànya se kabe nda oro opane,
a'do loto ndaro ka'do robe wari amaro ya.
10 Ŋgalu ndi a'do'diri be dro'beruna 'da;
taŋgye ndi taliatokpe be omvoruna 'da.
11 A'do'diri lidri ro osana 'da kuru ni 'bädri yasi,
ago taŋgye Lu ro ondrena vo 'da vuru ni vo'buyakuru yasi.
12 OPI ozona ŋgase kadoro 'da,
ago gyini amaro lofona ŋga jalia ro 'da amba.
13 Taŋgye orina 'da OPI mile,
ago edena liti 'da ndäri.
