Vureope Lu ro ndi Yauni be
1 Mano 'desi, nya driuŋgyi takozi miro ro etaya?
Yauni Lu ro orivoya äduako.
2 Nya tavo 'di tufuro ora;
ladra miro orivoya oso kidri osiekye ronye,
mi koweoga'ba ono.
3 Nyulu taundi ndrani takado drisi
ago koweoga ndrani taŋgye ata drisi.
4 Nyulu ata kozi ata,
mi koweoga'ba ono!
5 Ka'do inye Lu ufuna mi 'da äduako;
nda uruna mi 'da ago esena mi 'da ni 'ba miro yasi;
nda onana mi 'da ni 'bädri 'di lidriidri ro ro yasi.
6 Lidri taŋgye'bai ondrenayi ta ono 'da ago a'donayi 'da turi ro;
'dooko ànya ugunayi mi 'da ago atanayi 'da ekye:
7 “Mìndre, mano se 'ba Lu kote voruoparo ono,
oko yi ta gwo ŋgadriamba ndaro ya ayani,
ago ṛi ŋgaopa te ŋgaamba ndaro ya.”
8 Oko malaba oso ce luru ido ro se zo Lu roya 'do ronye;
ma taoma ŋgalu 'duro ndaro ya rriro ago äduako.
9 Mayena aro'boya 'da miri äduako, tase miyebe ono ta;
mapena takado miro 'da,
lidri miro kandra, tana mi orivoya kado.
(A special psalm by David for the music leader. He wrote this when Doeg from Edom went to Saul and said, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”)
God Is in Control
1 You people may be strong
and brag about your sins,
but God can be trusted
day after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes,
and your lying words cut
like a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evil
than good, and tell lies
than speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things,
and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever!
He will grab you and drag you
from your homes.
You will be uprooted
and left to die.
6 When good people see
this fearsome sight,
they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now!
Instead of trusting God,
they trusted their wealth
and their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive tree
growing in God's house,
and I can count on his love
forever and ever.
9 I will always thank God
for what he has done;
I will praise his good name
when his people meet.
