Zaburi 106
1 Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye! Gouru erokamano ne Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ober; kendo herane osiko manyaka chiengʼ.
Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
2 En ngʼa manyalo hulo gik madongo ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimo kata manyalo nyiso pakne duto?
[Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
3 Ogwedh joma osiko koluwo adiera, joma osiko katimo gima kare.
(Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
4 An bende parae, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, parae ka itimo ngʼwono ne jogi, bi ikonya ka iresogi,
Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
5 mondo an bende awinjie maber gi mwandu mimiyo jogi miyiero, mondo ayudie mor mar ogandani, kendo amiyi duongʼ kaachiel gi girkeni mari.
Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
6 Wasetimo richo mana kaka kwerewa bende notimo; wasetimo marach kendo wasetimo gik mamono.
We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
7 Kane kwerewa ni Misri, ne ok giparo matut kuom honni magi; bende ne wigi owil gi kechni mathoth, ne gingʼanyoni e dho nam, ma en Nam Makwar.
When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
8 Kata kamano noresogi nikech nyinge, mondo omi tekone maduongʼ ongʼere.
But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
9 Nokwero Nam Makwar, mi Nam Makwar notwo; kendo nomiyo gikalo kama tut mana ka gima ne giwuotho kama otwo.
He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
10 Noresogi e lwet joma ne kedo kodgi, adier, nowarogi e lwet wasigu.
In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
11 Pi noimo wasikgi; ma kata achiel kuomgi ne ok otony.
[Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
12 Eka ne giyie gi singruok mage kendo ne gipake gi wer.
When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
13 To ma ok wigi nowil gi gik mane osetimo kendo ne ok girite mondo ongʼadnegi rieko.
But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
14 Wuoro mokalo tongʼ nomakogi e thim, kendo ne gitemo Nyasaye e piny motwo.
They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
15 Omiyo ne omiyogi gima negidwaro, to kata kamano nooronegi tuo machiyo del.
[So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
16 Nyiego nomakogi gi Musa e kambi, kendo gi Harun, jatich mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye.
[Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
17 Piny ne oyawore mi nomwonyo Dathan; piny noiko oganda joka Abiram.
the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
18 Mach nomuoch kuom joma luwogi; mach maliel mager nowangʼo joma timbegi richogo motiekogi pep.
And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
19 Negiloso nyaroya Horeb, mine gilamo kido molos gi chuma.
Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
20 Ne giwilo Duongʼ margi gi kido mar rwath machamo lum.
Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
21 Wigi nowil gi Nyasaye mane oresogi, Nyasaye mane osetimo gik madongo e piny Misri,
They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
22 Nyasaye mane osetimo honni e piny Ham kod timbe miwuoro e dho Nam Makwar.
They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.
23 Emomiyo nowacho ni nobiro tiekogi ka dine Musa, ngʼate moyiero, we chungʼ kaywagore e nyime mondo ogengʼ mirimbe kik otiekgi.
Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
24 Bangʼe ne gichayo pinye ma jaber; nikech ne ok giyie singruokne ni en adier.
[Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
25 Ne gingʼur ei hembegi kendo ne ok gitimo gik ma Jehova Nyasaye nochikogi.
They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
26 Emomiyo ne osingorenegi kosiemogi gi lwete nine obiro miyo gipodhi e thim,
So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
27 nonyisogi ni ne obiro miyo nyikwagi podhi e kind ogendini, kendo ni ne obiro keyogi e pinje duto.
and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
28 Ne giriwore kaachiel e lamo Baal mar jo-Peor, kendo negichamo misango michiwone nyiseche motho;
Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
29 omiyo ne giwangʼo i Jehova Nyasaye gi timbegi marichogo, mi masira nomakogi.
Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
30 Kata kamano Finehas nochungʼ kargi kendo noywagore ne Nyasaye, mi masirano ne ok otiekogi.
But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
31 Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare nikech timneno, kendo ibiro kwane kamano nyaka tienge mabiro.
People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
32 Ne giwangʼo i Jehova Nyasaye, e dho sokni mag Meriba, mi timgino nokelone Musa chandruok;
[Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
33 nimar negiketho chunye mi weche maricho nowuok e dhoge.
They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
34 Ne ok gitieko ogendini chutho kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechikogi,
Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
35 to ne giriwore kodgi kendo negiluwo timbegi.
Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
36 Negilamo kido mag nyisechegi, ma bangʼe nolokorenegi obadho.
Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
37 Negichiwo yawuotgi gi nyigi kaka misango, kendo negichiwogi ne jochiende.
[Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
38 Ne gichwero remo maonge ketho, remb yawuotgi gi nyigi, mane gichiwo kaka misango ne kido mag nyiseche mag Kanaan, mi piny nogak nikech rembgi.
They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
39 Negidoko mogak nikech gik mane gitimo; negibedo joma odwanyore, nikech timbegigo.
So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
40 Emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokecho gi joge kendo chunye noa kuom girkeni mare.
So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
41 Nochiwogi e lwet ogendini, mine gibet e bwo loch joma ne mon kodgi.
[As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
42 Wasikgi nothirogi kendo negiketogi e bwo tekogi.
Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
43 Ne oresogi nyadi mangʼeny to kata kamano joge noketo chunygi ne ngʼanyo, mi richogi nochiwogi mi girumo.
Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
44 Kata kamano nokechogi e chandruokgi kane owinjo ywakgi;
However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
45 nikech noparo singruok mane otimo kodgi kendo noloko chunye nikech herane maduongʼ.
For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
46 Nochuno ji duto mane oketogi wasumbini mondo okechgi.
He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
47 Reswa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, kendo chokwa igolwa e dier ogendini, mondo wadwok erokamano ne nyingi maler kendo wabed mamor kwapaki.
Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
48 Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, mochwere manyaka chiengʼ. Ji duto mondo owach niya, “Amin!” Opak Jehova Nyasaye.
Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
