Zaburi 70

1 Kuom jatend wer. Kwayo mar Daudi. Ret piyo mondo iresa, yaye Nyasaye; bi piyo mondo ikonya, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me.

2 Mad joma dwaro ngimana yud wichkuot kendo pachgi lal; mad ji duto ma gombona hinyruok dog kuma giaye ka giyudo achaya.

May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed.

3 Mad joma wachona niya, “Haa! Haa!” Dog kuma giaye ka wichkuot omakogi.

May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.”

4 To mad ji duto madwari bed moil kendo mamor kuomi; mad joma ohero warruok mari osik kawacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo oyud duongʼ!”

Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.”

5 Adhier kendo achando; bi ira piyo, yaye Nyasaye. In e konyruokna kendo jaresna; kik ideki, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.

I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.
