Zaburi 19
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Polo hulo duongʼ mar Nyasaye; kor polo nyiso tich mar lwete.
For the music director. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God's glory; the skies above announce what he has made.
2 Odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ gilando wach; otieno kotieno ginyiso rieko.
Each day speaks constantly about God's glory to the next day; each night shares knowledge of God with the next night.
3 Gionge dhok kata weche kata dwondgi ok winji.
They speak without speech or words; their voice is not audible;
4 Kata kamano dwondgi chopo kuonde duto e piny, wechegi osechopo nyaka e tunge piny. Osechungo hema e kor polo ne wangʼ chiengʼ,
Yet what they say is heard all over the earth; their message goes to the whole world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
5 machalo gi wuon kisera mothinyore oko kawuok e ode mar mor, kendo mana ka jangʼwech mongirore moil moikore ni chako ngʼwech.
It's like a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a fit athlete happy to run a race.
6 Owuok gie tungʼ polo konchiel, kendo olworore nyaka komachielo; onge gima opondo ne liet mare.
It rises on one side of the heavens and travels across to the other. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 Chik Jehova Nyasaye longʼo chuth, odwogo chuny. Buche mag Jehova Nyasaye gin adiera, gimiyo joma riekogi tin bedo mariek.
The Lord's law is beneficial, renewing spiritual life. The Lord's teaching is trustworthy, making inexperienced people wise.
8 Chike mag Jehova Nyasaye nikare, gichiwo mor ne chuny. Chike mag Jehova Nyasaye rieny, gichiwo ler ne wangʼ.
The Lord's instructions are right, making people glad. The Lord's commandments are sincere, helping people see what is good.
9 Luoro Jehova Nyasaye en gima ber, mosiko nyaka chiengʼ. Buche mag Jehova Nyasaye gin adier kendo gin kare kargi giduto.
Reverence for the Lord is right, and lasts forever. The Lord's judgments are both true and fair.
10 Gibeyo moloyo dhahabu, moloyo dhahabu malerie moloyo; gimit moloyo mor kich moa e pedni.
They are more to be valued than gold, even the finest gold; they are sweeter than honey, even the purest honey coming straight from the honeycomb.
11 Gin ema gimiyo jatichni bedo motangʼ; kendo bedogi kanyo kelo pok maduongʼ.
They also warn your servant. By keeping them I'm richly rewarded.
12 En ngʼa manyalo ngʼeyo kethone mopondo? Wena kethoga mopondo.
Who's aware of their own mistakes? Don't punish me for these faults I'm unaware of.
13 Bende gengʼ jatichni kuom richo mag wich teko; mad kik gibed gi loch kuoma. Eka anabed maonge ketho, anabed ka aonge gi ketho chik moro maduongʼ.
Don't let your servant commit deliberate sins. Don't let them rule over me. Then I will be without fault, innocent of such rebellion.
14 Mad weche mawuok e dhoga, kod paro manie chunya, obed malongʼo e nyimi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, Lwandana kendo Jawarna.
May you be pleased with the words I speak, and the thoughts I think, Lord my rock and my redeemer.
