Mätu Mano Adravoro ro
1 Anya se kabe ta 'dimäyuro ro otina ni kado!
OPI opana ànya 'da ondro rriti ko'de te anya dri owo.
2 OPI gagana anya 'da ago opana adri anyaro 'da;
nda o'bana ànya 'da yai'dwesi wari ya;
nda ozona anya ko drì kyila'baazii anyaro roya.
3 OPI opana anya 'da ondro anya ka'dote adravoro
ago edena anya 'da jiŋgyiri.
4 Matate makye: “Nya'do yauni be märi OPI,
nyede ma tana maye takozi te milomvo.”
5 Kyila'baazii maro kayi ata siomba si ta maro ta ekye;
“Anya odrana ituya ago ta anyaro ujena itu ya?”
6 'Dise kikyite ma ondre ka tase ko ŋgye atana,
nda ka kala lazo kozi ro otona ta maro ta,
ago ondro nda kofote tesi oko nda iti tana te vo cini yasi.
7 Vona se cini yanayi kabe oso malomvo
kayi ta waya azi ri ta maro ta,
ànya kayi tase koziro usuna ayani ta maro ta.
8 Ànya kayi ata ekye: “Adravo rritiro 'dete anya dri;
nda oŋgana ko tona ni gitipara drisi.”
9 Ca bereazi para maro, se mayi ta be nda ya,
se kabe ŋgoanya mabe,
zarute kyila'baazi ro märi.
10 Nya'do yauni be märi OPI, ago migo nyede ma jiŋgyiri,
tana mologo vo taro robe kyila'baazii maro ri.
11 Mäni ndi anjioko mi orivoya yai'dwesi mabe,
ta'dota kyila'baazii maro unina ko ma opene ṛe.
12 Mipana ma 'da, tana ma tase ŋgye oyena;
ago mi'ba ma mikandra äduako.
13 Nyäräṛu OPI, Lu Yisaraele ro!
Nyäräṛu nda yau ago äduako.
Amen! Amen.

A Prayer in Time of Sickness
1 You, Lord God, bless everyone
who cares for the poor,
and you rescue those people
in times of trouble.
2 You protect them
and keep them alive.
You make them happy here
in this land,
and you don't hand them over
to their enemies.
3 You always heal them
and restore their strength
when they are sick.
4 I prayed, “Have pity, Lord!
Heal me, though I have sinned
against you.”
5 My vicious enemies ask me,
“When will you die
and be forgotten?”
6 When visitors come,
all they ever bring
are worthless words,
and when they leave,
they spread gossip.
7 My enemies whisper about me.
They think the worst,
8 and they say,
“You have some fatal disease!
You'll never get well.”
9 My most trusted friend
has turned against me,
though he ate at my table.
10 Have pity, Lord! Heal me,
so I can pay them back.
11 Then my enemies
won't defeat me,
and I will know
that you really care.
12 You have helped me
because I am innocent,
and you will always
be close to my side.
13 You, the Lord God of Israel,
will be praised forever!
Amen and amen.
