Zaburi 140
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom joma richo, konya e lwet jo-mahundu,
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:
2 joma chano chenro maricho e chunygi kendo gitugo lweny pile pile.
Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:
3 Gipiago lewgi mabith ka lew thuol kendo kwiri mar thuond fu ni e lewgi. (Sela)
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, —The poison of the asp, is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Rita, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, rita e lwet joma timbegi richo; konya e lwet jo-mahundu machano gajo tiendena.
Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, —who have devised, to thrust at my steps:
5 Josunga chikona obadho; giseyarona gogo mondo amokie, kendo gisechikona otegu e yorega ma aluwo. (Sela)
The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. (Selah)
6 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, awachoni niya, “In Nyasacha.” Omiyo yie iwinja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.
I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.
7 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma jakonyna motegno, in migengʼona wiya sa ma lweny ger.
O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast 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)
Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 Mi mondo chandruok ma joma olwora bwogago, odog e wiyegi.
As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips 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.
May there be dropped on them live coals, —Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.
11 Mi mondo joma ketho nying jowetegi kik dhi maber e piny, ee, ne ni masira olawo jo-mahundu mi ojukogi.
As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, —As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
12 Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye miyo jodhier yudo adieragi, kendo oneno ni ongʼad bura kare ne joma ochando.
I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
13 Joma kare biro pako nyingi adier kendo joma ngimagi oriere tir biro dak kangima e nyimi.
Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
