OPI ni Gaga'ba Amaro
1 Ma voondre 'bereŋwa dri;
ŋgaopa maro ikyina 'da ni eŋwaroya?
2 Ŋgaopa maro kikyi ni OPI resi,
nda se ko'ba vo'buyakuru ni ndi 'bädri be ono.
3 Nda o'bana mi ko lapane;
gaga'ba miro orivoya ondoalo miuŋbo.
4 Gaga'ba Yisaraele ro
pana ko ago u'du ko alona.
5 OPI ni lepe'ba miro;
nda orivoya gaga'ba miro gbo miro ya vo miro okwane.
6 Kitu ri mi ozane kitu si i'do,
ca imba ŋgakozi oyene miri ŋgäkyi si i'do.
7 OPI gagana mi 'da
ni ŋgakozi cini risi,
nda o'bana mi 'da orine londroro.
8 OPI gagana mi 'da oyivoya ago egovoya
ṛo ni yauono ago le äduako.

The Lord Will Protect His People
1 I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?
2 It will come from the Lord,
who created heaven and earth.
3 The Lord is your protector,
and he won't go to sleep
or let you stumble.
4 The protector of Israel
doesn't doze
or ever get drowsy.
5 The Lord is your protector,
there at your right side
to shade you from the sun.
6 You won't be harmed
by the sun during the day
or by the moon at night.
7 The Lord will protect you
and keep you safe
from all dangers.
8 The Lord will protect you
now and always
wherever you go.
