Zaburi 26

1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Ngʼadna bura makare, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech e ngimana duto asedak ka aonge ketho; aseketo genona kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma ok adigni.

A psalm of David. Confirm that I'm innocent, Lord, for I have acted with integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without fail.

2 Nona kendo itema, yaye Jehova Nyasaye nonie chunya gi pacha;

Examine me, Lord, test me; investigate my thoughts and intentions.

3 nikech herani osiko kanie chunya kinde duto, kendo asiko kawuotho e adierani.

For I always remember your trustworthy love, and I follow your truth.

4 Ok abed piny gi joma wuondore bende ok ariwra gi jo-miriambo.

I don't join in with liars and I don't associate with hypocrites.

5 Achayo chokruok mar joma timo gik maricho kendo ok ayie bet piny gi joricho.

I refuse to get together with those who do evil, and I won't involve myself with the wicked.

6 Aluoko lwetena kanyisogo ni aonge ketho, kendo aluoro kendoni mar misango, yaye Jehova Nyasaye,

I wash my hands to show my innocence. I come to worship at your altar, Lord,

7 ka alando pakni gi dwol maduongʼ, kendo anyiso timbeni duto miwuoro.

singing my thanks, telling of all the wonderful things you have done.

8 Ahero hekalu kama idakie, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kama duongʼni nitie.

Lord, I love your house, the place where you live in your glory.

9 Kik ikaw chunya kaachiel gi joricho, kik ikaw ngimana kod joma ohero chwero remo,

Please don't sweep me away along with sinners. Don't include me with those who commit murder,

10 joma lwetegi otingʼo chenro maricho ma lwetegi ma korachwich asoya opongʼo.

whose hands carry out their evil schemes and grab hold of bribes.

11 An to ngimana onge ketho; yie iwara kendo ikecha.

For I don't do that—I act with integrity. Save me and be gracious to me!

12 Tiendena onyono kama opie; e chokruok mangʼongo abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye.

I stand for what's right, and I will praise the Lord when we meet together to worship him.
