< Zaburi 16 >
1 Miktam mar Daudi. Rita maber, yaye Nyasaye nikech in e kar pondona.
“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
2 Ne awacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “In e Ruodha; onge gima ber machielo ma an-go makmana in.”
I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
3 To jomaler manie piny, to gin kaka joma nigi duongʼ ma ahero gi chunya duto.
The holy that are in the land, and the excellent, —in them is all my delight.
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.
They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiya pok makora kod okombena; iserita maber gi giga duto.
Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
6 Kiepena duto ochopo kuonde mabeyo; adier, girkeni maga duto moro wangʼ adier.
My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
7 Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye mangʼadona rieko; kata gotieno chunya puonja.
I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
8 Asiko aketo Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
9 Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende biro yweyo gi kwe,
Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
10 nikech ok inijwangʼa ei liel, to bende ok niyie Ngʼati Maler tow. (Sheol )
For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. (Sheol )
11 Isenyisa yor ngima; inipongʼa gi mor mogundho ka an e nyimi, kendo gi mor mosiko e badi korachwich.
Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
