Mätu Tandrolero ta Ŋgaopa rota
1 Miza tadri maro ondro mayo drîte miri owo,
Äye Lu gaga'ba maro!
Mipa ma te ondro ma'do te rriti ya owo,
Nya'do yauni be märi ago nyeri mätu maro.

2 Nyàmawona liku maro tuna mu'du eŋwanyeya ami lidri?
Nyùluna ota se takaciako ono
ago mìsona tase kowero vo tuna mu'du eŋwanyeya?

3 Mìni kado tase OPI konji taŋgye'ba be modo ndaro ri ono tana;
OPI kani ma eri ondro ma te drîayo ndäri owo.

4 Ondro ka'do mìŋgate kyila ro oko, mìye takozi ko;
nyùsu tavo ta ono ro ya amiro ya,
ondro nyù'dute kitipara amiro dri titiro owo.
5 Nyòzo tori oloro se ŋgye 'do ayani,
ago mìyi ta amiro OPI ya.

6 'Di amba orivoya se ka ata ekye:
“Äye aba mà'dogwo ŋgaamba be!
Mindrevo ämädri yauni si Äye OPI!”
7 Nyozo riyä te märi
ndrani ànyaro drisi,
ànya ka'doyi gica inya ndi vino be amba owo,

Psalm-4-8
8 Mu'dute vuru oko, ma u'du liatokpero,
Äye OPI, toto gialo mi ayani, nya ma o'bani orine londroro.
Evening Prayer for Help
1 Answer me when I pray,
O God, my defender!
When I was in trouble, you helped me.
Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.

2 How long will you people insult me?
How long will you love what is worthless
and go after what is false?

3 Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own,
and he hears me when I call to him.

4 Tremble with fear and stop sinning;
think deeply about this,
when you lie in silence on your beds.
5 Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord,
and put your trust in him.

6 There are many who pray:
“Give us more blessings, O Lord.
Look on us with kindness!”
7 But the joy that you have given me
is more than they will ever have
with all their grain and wine.

8 When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace;
you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.
