Zaburi 56

1 Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Akuru mopiyo e onera man mabor.” Miktam mar Daudi. Kane jo-Filistia osemake Gath. Kecha, yaye Nyasacha, nikech wasika dwaro monja; odiechiengʼ duto gidiya ma ok aywe.

To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

2 Joketh nyinga lawa odiechiengʼ duto; ji mangʼeny monja ka sunga omakogi.

Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

3 Ka luoro omaka to abiro geno kuomi.

In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

4 Kuom Nyasaye ma apako wachne, in Nyasaye ema aketo genona kuomi omiyo ok abi bedo maluor. Dhano adhana to nyalo timona angʼo?

In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

5 Odiechiengʼ duto gimino koda wach; kinde duto gichano kaka digihinya.

All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Gikuotho kendo gijimbo wach, ginono okangʼ ka okangʼ ma agoyo, ka gidwaro kawo ngimana.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

7 Kik iyie gitony kata matin nikech richo mag-gi, dwok ogendini piny, yaye Nyasaye, gi mirimbi;

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Ndik ywak ma aywakgo kwan pi wangʼa machwer e kitapi, donge iketogi e kitabu mari?

Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

9 Eka wasika biro gomo dok ka aluongo kony moa kuomi. Mano ema abiro ngʼeyogo ni Nyasaye en jakora.

Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.

10 Kuom Nyasaye ma apako wachne, in Jehova Nyasaye ema apako wachne,

In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

11 kendo Nyasaye ema aketo genona kuome; omiyo ok abi bedo maluor. Dhano adhana to nyalo timona angʼo?

In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

12 Asetimo kodi singruok, yaye Nyasaye; abiro chiwoni chiwo maga mag erokamano.

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

13 Nikech iseresa e tho kendo isegengʼo tienda mi ok ochwanyore, mondo mi awuothi e nyim Nyasaye ma en e ler makelo ngima.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
