Zaburi 37
1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Kik chunyi chandre nikech joma richo bende chunyi kik gomb gige joma timo gik maricho;
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 nikech gibiro ner mapiyo mana kaka lum ner; gibiro tho mi gilal nono mapiyo mana kaka yiende mangʼich.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo tim maber. Eka inidag e piny kendo inichiem gi mor e lek maber.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness.
4 Bed mamor kuom Jehova Nyasaye eka obiro miyi gik moko duto ma chunyi dwaro.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Ket yoreni kuom Jehova Nyasaye; ket genoni kuome eka obiro timo kama:
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
6 Obiro miyo timni makare rieny ka ler mar okinyi, kendo obiro miyo ratiro mari bed machalo gi wangʼ chiengʼ marieny odiechiengʼ tir.
Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Bed mos e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo rite kihori mos; kik chunyi chandre ka joma moko dhi nyime maber, ka gitimo chenrogi maricho.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Ritri kik ibed gi mirima kendo lokri iwe ich wangʼ kik ibed gi ich wangʼ nikech okelo mana rach.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
9 Nikech joma richo ibiro ngʼad kargi oko, to joma oketo genogi kuom Jehova Nyasaye piny biro bedo margi.
For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
10 Kinde matin nono to joma timbegi richo ok nobedie; kata obedo ni unumanygi to ok unuyudgi.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
11 To joma muol piny biro bedo margi kendo gibiro winjo maber ka gin gi kwe maduongʼ.
But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Joma timbegi richo chano timo marach ni joma kare kendo gimwodo lekegi ka gin gi mirima;
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 to Ruoth Nyasaye nyiero joma timbegi richo, nimar ongʼeyo ni odiechieng-gi biro.
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 Joma timbegi richo wuodho liganglagi kendo gidolo atungegi, mondo gichiel joma odhier gi jochan piny, mondo gineg joma yoregi oriere tir.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be upright in the way:
15 To ligengligi biro chwoyo adundogi giwegi, kendo atungegi biro tur.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Gima tin ma ngʼat makare nigo ber moloyo mwandu mathoth mag joma timbegi richo;
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 nikech teko mar joma timbegi richo ibiro kethi, to Jehova Nyasaye tingʼo ngʼat makare malo.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 Ndalo mag joma kare ongʼere ni Jehova Nyasaye, kendo girkeni margi biro siko nyaka chiengʼ.
The LORD knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 E kinde mag masira mopore ok ginibed moner, bende gibiro bedo gi chiemo mathoth ndalo kech.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 To joma timbegi richo biro lal nono: Wasik Jehova Nyasaye biro chalo gi ber mar thiepe manie pap, gibiro lal nono, adier gibiro lal nono kaka iro.
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
21 Joma timbegi richo holo ji gik moko to ok chul, to joma kare to chiwo gi ngʼwono;
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22 piny biro bedo girkeni mar joma Jehova Nyasaye ogwedho, to joma okwongʼo ibiro ngʼad kargi oko.
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 Ka Jehova Nyasaye mor gi yor ngʼato, to omiyo yorene bedo mopie;
A man’s goings are established of the LORD; and he delighteth in his way.
24 kata ka ochwanyore to ok obi podho; nikech Jehova Nyasaye omako lwete.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 Nyaka aa e tin-na mi koro adoko ngʼama duongʼ pok aneno ka joma kare ojwangʼ, kata ka nyithindgi kwayo chiemo.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging [their] bread.
26 Kinde duto gingʼwon kendo giholo ji gigegi nono; nyithindgi ibiro gwedhi.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Lokri iwe timo marach mondo itim maber; eka inidag e piny nyaka chiengʼ.
Depart from evil, and do good; dwell for evermore.
28 Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ohero joma joratiro, kendo ok obi jwangʼo joge ma jo-adiera. Ibiro ritgi maber nyaka chiengʼ, to koth joma timbegi richo, ibiro ngʼad kargi oko;
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 joma kare piny biro bedo margi kendo gibiro dak e piny nyaka chiengʼ.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Dho ngʼat makare hulo rieko kendo lewe wacho gima ratiro.
The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment.
31 Chik mar Nyasache ni e chunye; omiyo tiendene ok kier.
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 Joma timbegi richo pondo karito joma kare ka gidwaro tieko ngimagi;
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 to Jehova Nyasaye ok bi weyogi e lwetgi kata yie bura logi sa ma iyalogi.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Bed gi geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo luw yore. Obiro tingʼi malo mi omi piny bed mari; ka joma richo ongʼad kargi oko to ibiro neno gi wangʼi.
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 Aseneno ngʼama timbene richo kendo makwiny kadhi maber mana ka yien mangʼich moti e lowo mowinjore kode.
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 To ne okalo kamano piyo piyo nono kendo ne ok ochak onene, kata ne omanye to ne ok nyal yude.
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Ne kit ngima joma onge ketho, non chal joma ngimagi oriere tir, ngʼama ohero kwe nigi geno mar dak amingʼa.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the latter end of [that] man is peace.
38 To joricho duto ibiro tieki, joma timbegi richo ibiro ngʼad ndalogi oko.
As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Warruok mar joma kare aa mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye; En e kar pondo margi e ndalo mar chandruok.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strong hold in the time of trouble.
40 Jehova Nyasaye konyogi kendo resogi oresogi e lwet joma timbegi richo, kendo owarogi, nikech gipondo kuome.
And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him.
