Zaburi 64

1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Winja, Yaye Nyasaye e kinde manyisi chandruokna; rit ngimana kuom jasigu ma bwoga.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Panda ne chenro maricho mag joma richo, panda ne koko ma oganda matimo marach goyo.

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

3 Gipiago lewgi ka ligangla kendo gichimo wechegi ka asere motimo sum.

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

4 Gidiro asere kama giponde mondo gichwogo ngʼama onge ketho; gibaye gi asere apoya ka gionge luoro.

That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Gijiwore ngʼato gi ngʼato kuom chenrogi maricho, giwuoyo kaka ginyalo pando obadhogi, kagiwacho niya, “En ngʼa mabiro nenogi?”

They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

6 Gichano timo ne ji marach kagiwacho niya, “Waseloso chenro malongʼo chuth!” Kuom adier, pach dhano gi chunye opando riekni maricho miwuoro.

They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

7 To Nyasaye biro bayogi gi aserni; apoya nono, ibiro puodgi piny.

But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 Obiro loko lewgi mi gogi gin giwegi mi otiekgi chuth; ji duto monenogi biro kino wigi gi wuoro.

So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

9 Ji duto biro bedo maluor, gibiro hulo tije Nyasaye, kendo gibiro paro mos kuom gima osetimo.

And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 Joma kare mondo obed moil kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo gipondo kuome; ji duto moriere tir gie chunygi mondo opake!

The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him; And all the upright in heart shall glory.
