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.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Winj ywakna, kendo bi piyo mondo iresa; bed lwandana mar pondo, kendo ohinga motegno manyalo resa.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defence to save me.
3 Kaka in lwandana kendo ohingana, telna kendo itaya nikech nyingi.
For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Gola oko e obadho mopondo mochikna nikech in e kar pondona.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 Aketo chunya e lweti; resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye mar adiera.
Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.
6 Asin gi joma lamo nyiseche manono ma dhano oloso; an to aketo genona kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.
7 Abiro bedo mamor kendo moil kuom herani, nikech ne ineno chandruokna, kendo ne ingʼeyo lit mar chunya.
I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Ok iseketa e lwet jawasigu to iseguro tiendena kama lach.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Kecha, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nikech an e chandruok; wengena ojony nikech ywak, kendo chunya gi ringra bende nigi lit.
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
10 Ngimana rem chamo kendo higni maga opongʼ gi chur; tekona rumo nikech lit ma an-go kendo chokena doko mayom yom.
For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11 Nikech wasigu olwora mangʼeny, joma odak koda koro ochaya gi chunygi; alich kata mana ni osiepena kendo joma onena e wangʼ yo ringa.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbours, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Wigi owil koda mana ka gima ne asetho chon bende koro achalo mana gi agulu motore.
I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13 Nikech awinjo ayany mangʼeny ma ji yanyago, kihondko olwora koni gi koni; gikuodho kaka digitimna marach kendo gichano mar kawo ngimana.
For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 To an aketo mana genona kuomi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kendo awacho niya, “In e Nyasacha.”
But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 Ndalona ni e lweti; resa e lwet wasika, kendo kuom joma lawa.
My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Mad ibed mamor gi jatichni; resa gi herani ma ok rum.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
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)
Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (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.
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19 Mano kaka berni duongʼ, ber mikano ne joma oluori, mimiyo joma opondo kuomi ka ji duto neno.
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
20 Ipandogi e bwombi iwuon mondo joma richo kik hinygi; iritogi maber e kar dak mari kuom lew joma hangonigi wach.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ne onyisa herane maduongʼ, kane an e dala ma wasigu ogoyona agengʼa.
Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvellous loving kindness in a strong city.
22 Kane chandruok omaka to ne awacho ni, “Opoga kodi!” Kata kamano ne iwinja ka aywakni mondo ikecha kane aluongi mondo ikonya.
As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Heruru Jehova Nyasaye un joge maler duto! Jehova Nyasaye rito ngima joma jo-adiera, to josunga to ochulo moromo chuth.
Oh love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Beduru motegno kendo jiwuru chunyu, un duto mugeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
