Zaburi 21

1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ruoth oil nikech teko ma imiye. Mano kaka en gi mor maduongʼ nikech isemiyo olocho!

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

2 Isemiye gima chunye gombo kendo pok idagi timone kwayone. (Sela)

The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. (Selah)

3 Ne irwake gi gweth momew kendo nisidho osimbo mar dhahabu maler e wiye.

For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.

4 Ne okwayi ngima kendo ne imiye; ne imede ndalo mochwere manyaka chiengʼ.

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him — length of days, Age-during — and for ever.

5 Kuom loch mane ichiwo, duongʼ mare duongʼ; isemiye huma gi luor.

Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

6 Adier, isemiye gweth mochwere kendo isemiyo obedo mamor gi mor moa kuomi.

For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

7 Nikech ruoth ogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye; kuom (hera) ma ok rum mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, ok obi yiengni.

For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.

8 Lweti biro mako wasiki duto; lweti ma korachwich biro ndhiyo joma kedo kodi.

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

9 E sa ma ibiro chopoe, to ibiro miyo gichal gi kendo mar mach mager. Jehova Nyasaye biro mwonyogi kuom mirimbe mager, kendo mach mare biro tiekogi.

Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

10 Ibiro tieko kothgi mi rum e piny, kendo nyithindgi biro rumo e dier ji.

Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.

11 Kata obedo ni gichano timoni marach kendo giloso chenro maricho, to ok ginyal loyo;

For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,

12 nikech ibiro miyo gilok dier ngʼegi ka ibiro dimbogi gi atungʼ moywa.

For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

13 Yud duongʼ, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom tekoni maduongʼ; wabiro wer kendo pako nyalo mari.

Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
