Zaburi 142

1 Maskil mar Daudi. Kane en ei bur. Lamo. Aywak matek ne Jehova Nyasaye; atingʼo dwonda ne Jehova Nyasaye mondo okecha.

I cry with my voice to Jehovah. With my voice to Jehovah I make supplication.

2 Ahulone gik mathaga duto; anyise chandruokna duto ka abet e nyime.

I pour out my complaint before him. I show my trouble before him.

3 E kinde ma chunya chandore e iya, to in ema ingʼeyo yor konyruokna. E bugo matut ma awuothoe ji osechikonae obadho.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have hidden a snare for me.

4 Rang batha korachwich; mondo ine kaonge ngʼama dewa. Aonge kar pondo; bende aonge ngʼama rito ngimana.

Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man who knows me. Refuge has failed me. No man cares for my soul.

5 Aywakni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; awachoni niya, “In e kar pondona, kendo in e pokna e piny joma ngima.”

I cried to thee, O Jehovah. I said, Thou are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

6 Yie iwinj ywakna, nimar an-gi chandruok maduongʼ; resa e lwet joma lawa nimar gitek moloya mabor.

Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

7 Gonya e twech ma antie, mondo apak nyingi. Eka joma kare biro chokore buta nikech ber misetimona.

Bring my soul out of prison that I may give thanks to thy name. The righteous shall encompass me around, for thou will deal bountifully with me.
