Zaburi 31
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Kuomi ema aseponde, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kik iwe ayud wichkuot; gola e chandruok nikech timni makare.
Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
2 Winj ywakna, kendo bi piyo mondo iresa; bed lwandana mar pondo, kendo ohinga motegno manyalo resa.
Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
3 Kaka in lwandana kendo ohingana, telna kendo itaya nikech nyingi.
Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
4 Gola oko e obadho mopondo mochikna nikech in e kar pondona.
You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
5 Aketo chunya e lweti; resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye mar adiera.
Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
6 Asin gi joma lamo nyiseche manono ma dhano oloso; an to aketo genona kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
7 Abiro bedo mamor kendo moil kuom herani, nikech ne ineno chandruokna, kendo ne ingʼeyo lit mar chunya.
I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
8 Ok iseketa e lwet jawasigu to iseguro tiendena kama lach.
You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
9 Kecha, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech an e chandruok; wengena ojony nikech ywak, kendo chunya gi ringra bende nigi lit.
[But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
10 Ngimana rem chamo kendo higni maga opongʼ gi chur; tekona rumo nikech lit ma an-go kendo chokena doko mayom yom.
I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
11 Nikech wasigu olwora mangʼeny, joma odak koda koro ochaya gi chunygi; alich kata mana ni osiepena kendo joma onena e wangʼ yo ringa.
All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
12 Wigi owil koda mana ka gima ne asetho chon bende koro achalo mana gi agulu motore.
People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
13 Nikech awinjo ayany mangʼeny ma ji yanyago, kihondko olwora koni gi koni; gikuodho kaka digitimna marach kendo gichano mar kawo ngimana.
I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
14 To an aketo mana genona kuomi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kendo awacho niya, “In e Nyasacha.”
But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
15 Ndalona ni e lweti; resa e lwet wasika, kendo kuom joma lawa.
My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
16 Mad ibed mamor gi jatichni; resa gi herani ma ok rum.
Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
17 Kik iwe wiya kuodi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech aseywakni ka alemo; to we joma timbegi richo oyud wichkuot kendo ginindi ka gilingʼ thi ei liel. (Sheol h7585)
Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
18 Mi dhogi mawacho miriambo mondo olingʼ; nikech sungagi kod chuny marach ma gin-go, omiyo giwuoyo gi wich teko kuom joma kare.
I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
19 Mano kaka berni duongʼ, ber mikano ne joma oluori, mimiyo joma opondo kuomi ka ji duto neno.
You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
20 Ipandogi e bwombi iwuon mondo joma richo kik hinygi; iritogi maber e kar dak mari kuom lew joma hangonigi wach.
You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
21 Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ne onyisa herane maduongʼ, kane an e dala ma wasigu ogoyona agengʼa.
Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
22 Kane chandruok omaka to ne awacho ni, “Opoga kodi!” Kata kamano ne iwinja ka aywakni mondo ikecha kane aluongi mondo ikonya.
I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
23 Heruru Jehova Nyasaye un joge maler duto! Jehova Nyasaye rito ngima joma jo-adiera, to josunga to ochulo moromo chuth.
You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
24 Beduru motegno kendo jiwuru chunyu, un duto mugeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
