Zaburi 16
1 Miktam mar Daudi. Rita maber, yaye Nyasaye nikech in e kar pondona.
The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.
2 Ne awacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “In e Ruodha; onge gima ber machielo ma an-go makmana in.”
I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”
3 To jomaler manie piny, to gin kaka joma nigi duongʼ ma ahero gi chunya duto.
As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.
4 Joma lawo nyiseche mamoko kuyo margi biro medore. Misengini magi mag remo ok abi olo oko kendo kata nying-gi ok abi hulo gi dhoga.
Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.
5 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiya pok makora kod okombena; iserita maber gi giga duto.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.
6 Kiepena duto ochopo kuonde mabeyo; adier, girkeni maga duto moro wangʼ adier.
The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
7 Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye mangʼadona rieko; kata gotieno chunya puonja.
I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
8 Asiko aketo Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
9 Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende biro yweyo gi kwe,
Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Isenyisa yor ngima; inipongʼa gi mor mogundho ka an e nyimi, kendo gi mor mosiko e badi korachwich.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
