Zaburi 27
1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Jehova Nyasaye e lerna kendo e warruokna; en ngʼa ma daluor? Jehova Nyasaye e kama ngimana opondoe. En ngʼa ma dibwoga?
A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
2 Ka joma richo lawa mondo oketh ngimana, ka wasika kod joma kedo koda monja, to gibiro kier mi gipodhi.
When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
3 Kata ka jolweny ogoyona agengʼa koni gi koni, to chunya ok bi luor; kata ka lweny otugorena, to pod abiro mana bedo gi chir.
Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
4 Gimoro achiel kende ema akwayo Jehova Nyasaye, ma e gima adwaro moloyo; ni mondo adag e od Jehova Nyasaye ndalo duto mag ngimana, mondo achom wangʼa kuom ber mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo amanye e hekalu mare.
One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
5 Nikech chiengʼ ma chandruok omaka obiro panda maber e kar dakne; obiro panda e kar pondo mar hembe maler kendo obiro keta malo ewi lwanda.
For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
6 Eka abiro bedo jaloch ka aloyo wasigu duto molwora; abiro timo misango mar pak ka akok gimor e hembe maler. Abiro wer kendo abiro loso wende mamit ne Jehova Nyasaye.
And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
7 Winj dwonda ka aluongo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kecha kendo idwoka.
Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
8 Chunya wuoyo kuomi kawacho niya, “Many wangʼ Nyasaye ka ilemo!” Wangʼi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ema abiro manyo.
When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
9 Kik ipandna wangʼi, kik iriemb jatichni ka mirima omaki, in ema isebedo jakonyna. Kik ikweda bende kik ijwangʼa, yaye Nyasaye Jawarna.
Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
10 Kata obedo ni wuonwa gi minwa ojwangʼa to Jehova Nyasaye biro rwaka.
Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
11 Puonja yoreni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; telna e yo moriere tir, nikech joma sanda.
Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Kik ijwangʼa ne dwach wasika, nikech joneno mag miriambo oramona matek, ka gichano mar hinya.
Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
13 To an gi ratiro kuom wachni: ni pod abiro neno ber Jehova Nyasaye, e piny joma ngima.
I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
14 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye; bed motegno ka in gi chir, kendo rit kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
