Zaburi 64

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

For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.

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

Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.

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

What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.

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

They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.

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

They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”

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

They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.

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

But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.

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

What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.

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

Then everyone will be frightened. They will say that this is the work of God, and they will think about what he has done.

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

Those who are right with the Lord will be happy in him, they will go to him for protection. Those who live right will praise him.
