Zaburi 35
1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye kedi gi joma kedo koda; ked gi joma lawa.
Of David. O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.
2 Kaw kuodi gi okumbani; aa malo mondo ibi ikonya.
Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.
3 Chom tongʼ ma dhoge bith mar kedo ibwog-go joma lawa. Wuo gi chunya kiwachone niya, “An e warruokni.”
Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.
4 Mad joma dwaro ketho ngimana, ne wichkuot gi achaya. Mad joma chanona hinyruok, chunygi nyosre mi giweya.
Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.
5 Mad gichal gi mihudhi ma yamo tero, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye riembogi mabor;
Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.
6 mad yore ma giluwo bed gi mudho bende yoregigo obed makierogi ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye lawogi.
Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.
7 Nikech gichikona obadhogi kayiem nono kendo gikunyona bur kayiem mondo alwarie;
For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.
8 mad kethruok jukgi apoya ka gikia mad obadhogi ma gisechikona makgi; mad gilwar ei bur ma kargi lal nono.
Let destruction come on them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same destruction.
9 Eka chunya nobed mamor kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo anabed gimor kuom warruokne.
And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.
10 Ringra gi chunya duto, biro hulo kawacho niya, “En ngʼa machalo kodi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.” Ireso joma odhier e lwet joma nigi teko moloyogi, Adier, ikonyo joma odhier gi jochan kuom joma mayogi.
All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.
11 Joma timo neno ma wengegi tek sudo nyime; gipenja gik ma ok angʼeyo gimoro amora kuomgi.
False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.
12 Gichula rach kar ber, kendo giweyo chunya kochwanyore.
They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.
13 To kane gituo magihewore to ne arwako law ywagruok kendo ne abolora katweyo chiemo. Kane lamona ok odwoki,
But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.
14 ne awuotho koni gi koni ka chunya lit, mana ka gima aywago osiepna kata owadwa. Ne akulo wiya ka an gi kuyo maduongʼ mana ka gima aywago minwa.
My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother: I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead.
15 To kane achwanyora, negichokore kaachiel gi mor; joma ne monja nochokorena sa ma ok angʼeyo, negisiko ka giketho nyinga.
But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.
16 Kaka joma ok oluoro Nyasaye chayo ji, ne gijara ka gichano timona marach, ne gikayona lekegi.
Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.
17 Yaye Ruoth, ibiro siko kirango gigi katimore nyaka karangʼo? Res ngimana kuom kethruok duto mag-gi. Akwayi ni ires ngimana ma nengone tek e lwet sibuochegi.
Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.
18 Abiro goyoni erokamano e chokruok maduongʼ; abiro paki e dier oganda maduongʼ mochokore kaachiel.
I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.
19 Kik iyie ni jogo osungre ni gisenyala, joma obedo wasika maonge gima omiyo; iyie joma ochaya maonge gimoro sigre gi wengegi mar timona marach.
Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.
20 Ok giwuo gi kwe, to gichano wacho miriambo, kuom joma odak mos e piny.
For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.
21 Giyawona dhogi maduongʼ kendo nyiera ka giwachona giwacho niya, “Haa! Haa! Wasenene gi wengewa wawegi.”
Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.
22 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, iseneno timgini; kik ilingʼ. Kik ibed koda mabor, yaye Ruoth Nyasaye.
You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Aa malo, kendo chungi mondo ikonya! Kedna, yaye Nyasacha kendo Ruodha.
Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Yala kichwaka kuom timni makare, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha; kik iyienegi gisungre ni gisenyala.
Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.
25 Kik iwe giwach e chunygi niya, “Ero, otimorene mana kaka ne wadwaro.” Kata giwach niya, “Koro wasemuonye ngili.”
Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.
26 Mad ji duto mamor nikech chandruokna oyud wichkuot kendo pachgi olal; mad joma kaworena oyud wichkuot gi achaya.
Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.
27 Mad joma mor kuom loch ma imiya okog gi ilo kod mor; mad gisiki kagiwacho kinde duto niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo otingʼ malo nikech omiyo jatichne locho.”
Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.
28 Abiro pako timni makare kendo kuom pakni duto odiechiengʼ duto.
And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.
