Zaburi 5

1 Kuom jatend wende miwero gi asili. Zaburi Mar Daudi. Chik iti mondo iwinj wechena, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, para kuom pek manie chunya.

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

2 Winj ywakna mar dwaro kony, Yaye Ruodha kendo Nyasacha, nikech in ema alami.

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

3 Yie iwinj dwonda gokinyi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; aketo kwayona e nyimi gokinyi, kendo arito dwoko ka an gi geno.

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

4 Ok in Nyasaye mamor gi timbe maricho. Joma richo ok nyal dak kodi kanyachiel.

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 Josunga ok nyal chungʼ e nyimi; imon gi ji duto matimo gik maricho.

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 Itieko joma wacho miriambo; Jehova Nyasaye ok mor gi joma dwaro chwero remo, kod jo-miriambo.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 An to, nikech kechni maduongʼ, abiro donjo e odi; abiro kulora gi luor ka achomo hekalu mari maler.

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

8 Telna, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom adiera mari, nikech wasigu molwora, yie iriena yori tir e nyima.

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 Kata wach achiel mowuok e dho jogi ok nyal gen; chunygi opongʼ gi kethruok. Dwondgi chalo gi liel mapok oum; lewgi olony e wacho miriambo.

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

10 Kwan-gi kaka joketho, yaye Nyasaye! Ket obadho ma giketo ne ji ogajgi gin giwegi. Riembgi nikech richogi mathoth, nimar gisengʼanyoni.

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 We ji duto moketi kar pondo margi obed mamor; we gisiki ka giwer gimor. Umgi gi rit mari, mondo joma ohero nyingi omor kodi.

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 Nikech igwedho joma kare adier, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; igengʼogi gi hapi mana ka okumba.

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
