Zaburi 140
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom joma richo, konya e lwet jo-mahundu,
For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.
2 joma chano chenro maricho e chunygi kendo gitugo lweny pile pile.
Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.
3 Gipiago lewgi mabith ka lew thuol kendo kwiri mar thuond fu ni e lewgi. (Sela)
They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)
4 Rita, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, rita e lwet joma timbegi richo; konya e lwet jo-mahundu machano gajo tiendena.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 Josunga chikona obadho; giseyarona gogo mondo amokie, kendo gisechikona otegu e yorega ma aluwo. (Sela)
The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)
6 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, awachoni niya, “In Nyasacha.” Omiyo yie iwinja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.
I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
7 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma jakonyna motegno, in migengʼona wiya sa ma lweny ger.
O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.
8 Kik iyie mondo joma timbegi richo oyud gik ma chunygi gombo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kik iyie mondo chenrogi otimre. (Sela)
Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)
9 Mi mondo chandruok ma joma olwora bwogago, odog e wiyegi.
[As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.
10 Mi mondo makaa maliel mager oolre kuomgi, ee, ne ni odirgi e mach, kata e thidhna ma nimo ji, ma ok ginyal wuokie kendo.
Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].
11 Mi mondo joma ketho nying jowetegi kik dhi maber e piny, ee, ne ni masira olawo jo-mahundu mi ojukogi.
A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
12 Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye miyo jodhier yudo adieragi, kendo oneno ni ongʼad bura kare ne joma ochando.
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.
13 Joma kare biro pako nyingi adier kendo joma ngimagi oriere tir biro dak kangima e nyimi.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
