Zaburi 130

1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Aywakni ka an e chuny bur matut, yaye Jehova Nyasaye,

Yahweh, I have a lot of troubles/many difficulties, so I call out to you.

2 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie iwinj dwonda. Chik iti ne ywakna ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.

Yahweh, hear me, while I call out to you [SYN] to be merciful to me!

3 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ka dine bed ni isiko iparo richo, ma ji timo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, to en ngʼa ma dichungʼ e nyimi ka ok bura oloyo?

Yahweh, if you kept a record of the sins [that we have committed], not one [of us] [RHQ] would escape from being condemned [and punished]

4 To kata kamano kuomi nitiere weyo richo; kuom mano watiyoni gi luor.

But you forgive us, with the result that we greatly revere you.

5 Arito Jehova Nyasaye, chunya rite kendo aketo genona kuom wachne.

Yahweh has said [that he would help/rescue me]; I trust what he said, and I wait eagerly for him to do that.

6 Chunya rito Ruoth Nyasaye, moloyo kaka jorito rito ru piny, chunya riti, yaye Nyasaye, moloyo kaka jorito rito ru piny.

I wait for Yahweh [to help me] more than watchmen wait for the light to dawn; yes, I wait more eagerly than they do!

7 Yaye jo-Israel, keturu genou kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nigi (hera) ma ok rem, kendo en ema owaro ji chuth.

You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will bless us]. [He will bless us] because he faithfully loves [us], and he is very willing to save/rescue [us].

8 En owuon ema obiro waro jo-Israel kuom richogi duto.

And he will save us Israeli [people] from [being punished for] all the sins that [we] have committed.
