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. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

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

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

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

Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;

5 kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

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

Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped:

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

Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
