Zaburi 79
1 Zaburi mar Asaf. Yaye Nyasaye, ogendini osemonjo girkeni mari; gisedwanyo hekalu mari maler, kendo giseketho Jerusalem modongʼ pidhe pidhe.
A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
2 Gisechiwo ringre jogi motho mondo obed chiemb winy manie kor polo, ring jogi maler gisechiwo ne ondiegi mag piny.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
3 Giseolo remo e alwora mar Jerusalem ka pi, kendo koro onge ngʼama nyalo yiko joma otho.
They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
4 Waselokore gima kuodo wich ne jobutwa, joma ijaro kendo inyiero gi joma olworowa.
We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
5 Nyaka karangʼo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye? Ibiro kecho nyaka chiengʼ koso? Nyaka karangʼo ma nyiego mari biro lielie ka mach?
How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Ol mirimbi kuom pinjeruodhi, adier ol mirimbi kuom ogendini ma ok luong nyingi;
Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.
7 nimar gisengamo Jakobo mi giketho gwengʼe.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
8 Kik ikwanwa kaka joketho, nikech richo mag wuonewa; mad kechni bi romnwa piyo, nimar osedwokwa piny marach.
Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
9 Konywa, yaye Nyasaye ma Jawarwa, nikech duongʼ mar nyingi; reswa kendo wenwa richowa, mondo nyingi oyud duongʼ.
Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
10 Angʼo momiyo ogendini onego owach ni, “Nyasachgino to ni kanye?” Mi ogendini ongʼe, ka waneno gi wangʼwa, ni ichulo kuor nikech remb jogi mosechwer.
Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
11 Mad chur ma joma otwe churgo chopi e nyimi; rit ngima joma osengʼad nigi buch tho, gi teko mar badi.
Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
12 Chul kuor ne jobutwa nyadibiriyo kigoyo bembegi. Kuom ayany ma gisediro kuomi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
13 Eka jogi, ma gin rombegi mikwayo, biro paki nyaka chiengʼ, kendo wabiro nyiso pakni, koa e tiengʼ moro nyaka tiengʼ machielo.
For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
