Zaburi 143
1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Winj lamona, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, chik iti ne ywakna mar kech; bi mondo ikonya nikech in ja-adiera kendo itimo maber.
A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: hearken to my supplication in thy truth; hear me in thy righteousness.
2 Kik imi jatichni yud kum nimar onge kata ngʼato achiel matimo maber e nyimi.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no [man] living be justified.
3 Jasigu lawa matek, oserodha piny nyaka e lowo; ochuna ni nyaka adag kama otimo mudho mana ka joma notho chon gi lala.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
4 Omiyo chunya chandore e iya, ee, chunya obwok.
Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
5 Aparo higni machon mosekalo; aketo pacha mos kuom tijeni duto, kendo ageno gik ma lweti osetimo.
I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all thy doings: [yea], I meditated on the works of thine hands.
6 Ayaroni lwetena; chunya gombi mana kaka lowo motwo gombo koth. (Sela)
I spread forth my hands to thee; my soul [thirsts] for thee, as a dry land. (Pause)
7 Dwoka piyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nimar chunya ool. Kik ipandna wangʼi nono to dipoka achalo gi joma ridore e bur matut.
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away thy face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
8 Mi mondo okinyi oromna gi herani ma ok rem, nimar aketo genona kuomi. Nyisa yo monego alu nimar aketo chunya duto kuomi.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in thee; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
9 Resa e lwet wasika, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nimar in e jaritna.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to thee for refuge.
10 Puonja timo dwaroni, nimar in e Nyasacha; mi mondo Roho mari maber, otelna e yo mopie.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy good Spirit shall guide me in the straight [way].
11 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kony ngimana nikech nyingi iwuon; gola oko e chandruok nikech timni maber.
Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction.
12 Mi wasika olingʼ thi, nikech herani ma ok rem; tiek joma kedo koda duto nimar an jatichni.
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies, and wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
