< 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?
To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.
2 Ichano timbe midwaro wuondogo ji, lewi bende chano gik modwaro hinyogo ji; kendo lewino chalo gi wembe mabith.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Ihero rach moloyo ber, miriambo mitni moloyo wacho adiera. (Sela)
Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 Ihero weche duto machwanyo ji, yaye in lep mohero wuondni!
Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] 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 shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Joma kare biro neno mano mi gibed maluor; gibiro nyiere kagiwacho ni,
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
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!”
Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 An to achalo yiend zeituni madongo maber e od Nyasaye; ageno kuom (hera) ma ok rem mar Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ.
But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever 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 praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
