Zaburi 35
1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye kedi gi joma kedo koda; ked gi joma lawa.
[A Psalm] of David. Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:
2 Kaw kuodi gi okumbani; aa malo mondo ibi ikonya.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;
3 Chom tongʼ ma dhoge bith mar kedo ibwog-go joma lawa. Wuo gi chunya kiwachone niya, “An e warruokni.”
And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Mad joma dwaro ketho ngimana, ne wichkuot gi achaya. Mad joma chanona hinyruok, chunygi nyosre mi giweya.
Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:
5 Mad gichal gi mihudhi ma yamo tero, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye riembogi mabor;
Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;
6 mad yore ma giluwo bed gi mudho bende yoregigo obed makierogi ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye lawogi.
Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.
7 Nikech gichikona obadhogi kayiem nono kendo gikunyona bur kayiem mondo alwarie;
For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for 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 upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.
9 Eka chunya nobed mamor kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo anabed gimor kuom warruokne.
And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice 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 shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!
11 Joma timo neno ma wengegi tek sudo nyime; gipenja gik ma ok angʼeyo gimoro amora kuomgi.
Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
12 Gichula rach kar ber, kendo giweyo chunya kochwanyore.
They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of 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 sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:
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.
I behaved myself as though [he had been] a friend, a brother to me; I bowed down in sadness, as one that mourneth [for] a mother.
15 To kane achwanyora, negichokore kaachiel gi mor; joma ne monja nochokorena sa ma ok angʼeyo, negisiko ka giketho nyinga.
But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
16 Kaka joma ok oluoro Nyasaye chayo ji, ne gijara ka gichano timona marach, ne gikayona lekegi.
With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth 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 wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.
18 Abiro goyoni erokamano e chokruok maduongʼ; abiro paki e dier oganda maduongʼ mochokore kaachiel.
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much 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.
Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.
20 Ok giwuo gi kwe, to gichano wacho miriambo, kuom joma odak mos e piny.
For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.
21 Giyawona dhogi maduongʼ kendo nyiera ka giwachona giwacho niya, “Haa! Haa! Wasenene gi wengewa wawegi.”
And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen [it].
22 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, iseneno timgini; kik ilingʼ. Kik ibed koda mabor, yaye Ruoth Nyasaye.
Thou hast seen [it], Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Aa malo, kendo chungi mondo ikonya! Kedna, yaye Nyasacha kendo Ruodha.
Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!
24 Yala kichwaka kuom timni makare, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha; kik iyienegi gisungre ni gisenyala.
Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice 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 heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Mad ji duto mamor nikech chandruokna oyud wichkuot kendo pachgi olal; mad joma kaworena oyud wichkuot gi achaya.
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
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 them exult and rejoice that delight in my righteousness; and let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant.
28 Abiro pako timni makare kendo kuom pakni duto odiechiengʼ duto.
And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise, all the day.
