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?
Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.
2 Ka joma richo lawa mondo oketh ngimana, ka wasika kod joma kedo koda monja, to gibiro kier mi gipodhi.
When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.
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.
[Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].
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.
There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].
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.
He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).
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.
Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.
7 Winj dwonda ka aluongo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kecha kendo idwoka.
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.
8 Chunya wuoyo kuomi kawacho niya, “Many wangʼ Nyasaye ka ilemo!” Wangʼi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ema abiro manyo.
I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.
9 Kik ipandna wangʼi, kik iriemb jatichni ka mirima omaki, in ema isebedo jakonyna. Kik ikweda bende kik ijwangʼa, yaye Nyasaye Jawarna.
I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].
10 Kata obedo ni wuonwa gi minwa ojwangʼa to Jehova Nyasaye biro rwaka.
[Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.
11 Puonja yoreni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; telna e yo moriere tir, nikech joma sanda.
Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.
12 Kik ijwangʼa ne dwach wasika, nikech joneno mag miriambo oramona matek, ka gichano mar hinya.
Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.
13 To an gi ratiro kuom wachni: ni pod abiro neno ber Jehova Nyasaye, e piny joma ngima.
But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.
14 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye; bed motegno ka in gi chir, kendo rit kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
