Mätu 'Digagaro ni Kyila'baazii ri
1 Mipa ma mbara miro si, Äye Lu;
nyaka'da ma taenjiako mbara miro si!
2 Nyeri mätu maro, Äye Lu;
nyeri ata maro!
3 Lidri driuŋgyiekye ŋgayite mädri;
lidri siombaekye leyi ma ufune,
anya se tiyi ta Lu ro ko ono.
4 Oko Lu ni opa'ba maro.
Opi orivoya gaga'ba adri maro ro.
5 Nda logona votaro 'da kyila'baazii maro ri takozi si;
Nda tufuna ànya 'da tana nda orivoya 'diri.
6 Malona tori ndi miri ŋgapäṛi dritai ro ro;
mozona aro'boya 'da miri, Äye OPI
tana mi orivoya kado.
7 Tana mipa ma te ni rriti cini yasi,
ago mandre ape kyila'baazii maro te ṛe.
A Prayer for Protection from Enemies
1 Save me by your power, O God;
set me free by your might!
2 Hear my prayer, O God;
listen to my words!
3 Proud people are coming to attack me;
cruel people are trying to kill me—
those who do not care about God.
4 But God is my helper.
The Lord is my defender.
5 May God use their own evil to punish my enemies.
He will destroy them because he is faithful.
6 I will gladly offer you a sacrifice, O Lord;
I will give you thanks
because you are good.
7 You have rescued me from all my troubles,
and I have seen my enemies defeated.
