Zaburi 129

1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. “Jogi osesanda malit nyaka aa e tin-na,” Israel mondo owach niya;

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 “gisesanda malit nyaka aa e tin-na, to kata kamano pok gibedo gi loch kuoma.

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 Jopur osepuro diengʼeya kendo gisegore opara ma roboche,

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 to kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye en ngʼama kare; osegola e badho mar joma timbegi richo.”

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 Ji duto mochayo Sayun lo mi dog chien gi wichkuot.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 Mad gichal gi lum moti ewi tado maner kata kapok odongo maber.

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

7 Ok onyal nyago gimoro mapongʼo lwet jakeyo, kata ma jachoko nyalo tingʼo e bade.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 Mad joma kalo bute kik wachnegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhi, kata ni, wagwedhi e nying Jehova Nyasaye.”

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
