Zaburi 13

1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Nyaka karangʼo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye? Wiyi biro wil koda nyaka chiengʼ koso? Ibiro pandona wangʼi nyaka karangʼo?

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Abiro dhi nyime ka an gi pek manie pacha kod kuyo manie chunya odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ nyaka karangʼo? Wasika biro locho kuoma nyaka karangʼo?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Para kendo idwoka, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha. Chiw ler ne wengena, nono to dipo ka nindo otera mi atho;

Consider, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

4 nikech mano nyalo miyo jasika wach niya, “Aseloye,” kendo wasika biro bedo mamor ka apodho.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

5 Anto ageno kuom herani mosiko; chunya oil kuom warruok mari.

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

6 Abiro wer ne Jehova Nyasaye, nikech osebedo ka otimona maber.

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
