Zaburi 142

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

Of understanding for David. A prayer when he was in the cave. I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

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

In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

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 failed me, then thou newest my paths.

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

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to 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 Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, 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 supplication: 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 praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me.
