Zaburi 124

1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa, jo-Israel mondo owach kamano,

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

2 ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa kane ji omonjowa,

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3 e kinde mane mirima mabebni ka mach omakogi kodwa, to dine gimwonyowa ngili;

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

4 ataro dine odinonwa, ee, kodh yamo dine oywerowa,

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5 kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Pak mondo odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma ok oseyie mondo gikidhwa gi lekegi.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 Wasetony mana ka winyo mowuok e wino mar jachik winy; wino osechodi, to wan wasetony.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

8 Konyruokwa ni e nying Jehova Nyasaye, Jachwech polo gi piny.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
