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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

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

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

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

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

5 kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.

The proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a 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 snare is broken, and we have escaped.

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

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