Zaburi 64

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: 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 the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] 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 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 matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall 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; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.

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

But God shall 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 make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

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

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they 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 the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
