Zaburi 16
1 Miktam mar Daudi. Rita maber, yaye Nyasaye nikech in e kar pondona.
The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
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, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3 To jomaler manie piny, to gin kaka joma nigi duongʼ ma ahero gi chunya duto.
To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires 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 were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiya pok makora kod okombena; iserita maber gi giga duto.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 Kiepena duto ochopo kuonde mabeyo; adier, girkeni maga duto moro wangʼ adier.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye mangʼadona rieko; kata gotieno chunya puonja.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 Asiko aketo Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende biro yweyo gi kwe,
Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy 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.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
