Zaburi 101

1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Abiro wer nikech herani gi berni; in ema abiro weroni wend pak, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.

David’s. A Melody. Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

2 Abiro neno ni aritora mondo ngimana obed malongʼo chuth, ibiro biro ira karangʼo? Abiro dak e oda gi chuny malongʼo chuth.

I will behave myself wisely in a blameless way, When wilt thou come in unto me? I will walk to and fro in the blamelessness of my heart, —in the midst of my house:

3 Ok abi yie neno gimoro amora mochido gi wengena. Achayo timbe joma chunygi richo; gik maricho ok adwar winjo kata gi ita.

I will not set before mine eyes, a vile thing, —The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto me;

4 Ok anabed gi paro mochido; bende kata paro mar timo richo ok anapar.

A perverse heart, shall depart from me, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

5 Ngʼato angʼata makuodho nyawadgi lingʼ-lingʼ abiro kwero mi lingʼ; ngʼato angʼata ma wangʼe tek kendo ma sungore gie chunye, ok anyal betgo amingʼa.

He that uttereth slander in secret against his friend, him, will I root out; One of lofty eyes, and of an ambitious heart, him shall I not be able to endure.

6 Joma jo-adiera ema abiro keto wengena kuomgi; gin ema abiro yie dak kodgi; ngʼat ma wuodhe oriere tir ema biro tiyona.

Mine eyes, shall be upon the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, —he that walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

7 Ok abi yiene ngʼama ohero miriambo mondo odag e oda; ngʼat moro amora mawacho miriambo ok nochungʼ e nyima.

There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, —he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine eyes;

8 Okinyi kokinyi abiro tieko joma timbegi richo modak e piny. Abiro nego ngʼato angʼata matimo richo ka agologi e dala mar Jehova Nyasaye.

Morning by morning, will I uproot, All the lawless ones of the land, That I may cut off, out of the city of Yahweh—All the workers of iniquity.
