Zaburi 52

1 Kuom jatend wer. Maskil mar Daudi. Kane noyudo Doeg ja-Edom nosedhi ir Saulo kendo onyise niya, “Daudi osedhi e od Ahimelek.” Angʼo momiyo isungori kuom tim marach, yaye ngʼat maratego? Angʼo momiyo isungori odiechiengʼ duto, in ma in gir wichkuot e nyim Nyasaye?

You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.

2 Ichano timbe midwaro wuondogo ji, lewi bende chano gik modwaro hinyogo ji; kendo lewino chalo gi wembe mabith.

All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].

3 Ihero rach moloyo ber, miriambo mitni moloyo wacho adiera. (Sela)

You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.

4 Ihero weche duto machwanyo ji, yaye in lep mohero wuondni!

You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!

5 To Nyasaye biro tieli piny matieki chuth nyaka chiengʼ; obiro yudhi mi oyiechi oko e hembi; obiro pudhi mi ogoli e piny joma ngima. (Sela)

But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.

6 Joma kare biro neno mano mi gibed maluor; gibiro nyiere kagiwacho ni,

When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,

7 “Koro neyeuru ngʼatno, mane ok okawo Nyasaye obedo kar pondo mare, to nogeno mana kuom mwandune mathoth kendo notieko joma moko mondo eka omed bedo gi teko!”

“Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”

8 An to achalo yiend zeituni madongo maber e od Nyasaye; ageno kuom (hera) ma ok rem mar Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ.

But I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.

9 Abiro paki nyaka chiengʼ kuom gima isetimo; abiro paki e nyim jogi maler. Abiro keto geno mara kuom nyingi, nikech nyingi ber.

God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
