Zaburi 11

1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Jehova Nyasaye ema ageno kuome. Koro ere kaka duwachna ni: “Ringi ka winyo nyaka ewi got mari.

In Adonai, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain!”

2 Nikech joma timbegi richo osechako ywayo atungegi; gisechano asernigi e tonde mag atungʼ, mondo gichielgo joma jo-adiera e chunygi.

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 Ka mise iketho, to en angʼo ma joma kare ditim?”

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the upright do?

4 Jehova Nyasaye ni e hekalu mare maler; Jehova Nyasaye ni e kom duongʼ mare manie polo. Orango timbe yawuot ji; wengene nonogi matut.

Adonai is in his holy temple. Adonai is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

5 Jehova Nyasaye nono joma kare, to joma timbegi richo kod joma ohero mahundu, to chunye ochayo.

Adonai examines the upright, but the wicked and him who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· violence his soul hates.

6 Obiro chwero mach maliel mager kod salfa kuom joma timbegi richo; yamo maliet ha matwoyo gik moko, biro kudhogi.

On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 Nikech Jehova Nyasaye en Ngʼama Kare, kendo ohero adiera; joma timbegi oriere biro neno wangʼe.

For Adonai is righteous. He 'ahav ·affectionately loves· righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
