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?

For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man? The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.

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

Your tongue plans destruction like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

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

You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.

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)

God will likewise destroy you forever; he will take you up and pluck you out of your tent and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him 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!”

“See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and he was strong when he destroyed others.”

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

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house; I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.

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

I will give you thanks forever for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.
