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 THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

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

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

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

Blessed [is] YHWH 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.

Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
