Zaburi 140
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom joma richo, konya e lwet jo-mahundu,
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:
2 joma chano chenro maricho e chunygi kendo gitugo lweny pile pile.
Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.
3 Gipiago lewgi mabith ka lew thuol kendo kwiri mar thuond fu ni e lewgi. (Sela)
They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)
4 Rita, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, rita e lwet joma timbegi richo; konya e lwet jo-mahundu machano gajo tiendena.
Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.
5 Josunga chikona obadho; giseyarona gogo mondo amokie, kendo gisechikona otegu e yorega ma aluwo. (Sela)
The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)
6 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, awachoni niya, “In Nyasacha.” Omiyo yie iwinja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.
Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.
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 saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.
8 Kik iyie mondo joma timbegi richo oyud gik ma chunygi gombo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kik iyie mondo chenrogi otimre. (Sela)
Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)
9 Mi mondo chandruok ma joma olwora bwogago, odog e wiyegi.
As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon 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.
Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.
11 Mi mondo joma ketho nying jowetegi kik dhi maber e piny, ee, ne ni masira olawo jo-mahundu mi ojukogi.
For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell 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 auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.
13 Joma kare biro pako nyingi adier kendo joma ngimagi oriere tir biro dak kangima e nyimi.
Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.
