Zaburi 88
1 Wer. Zaburi mar yawuot Kora. Kuom jatend wer. Kaluwore gi mahalath leanoth. Maskil mar Heman ja-Ezra. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in e Nyasacha ma resa, aywagora e nyimi odiechiengʼ gotieno.
A Song, a Psalm for the sons of Korah. To the chief Musician. Upon Mahalath Leannoth. An instruction. Of Heman the Ezrahite. Jehovah, God of my salvation, I have cried by day [and] in the night before thee.
2 Mad lamona chop e nyimi; yie ilok iti ne kwayona.
Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ikwana kaachiel gi joma ridore piny ei bur matut; achalo ngʼama onge teko.
I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no strength:
5 Ojwangʼa kaachiel gi joma otho, mana kaka joma onegi monindo e bur, makoro ok ipar kuomgi kendo, joma ongʼad kargi oko e ritni.
Prostrate among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave; whom thou rememberest no more, and who are cut off from thy hand.
6 Iseketa ei bur matut mogik, ei piny mogik, kama olil ti.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
7 Mirimbi mager ogore kuoma mapek; isetamo wangʼa gi apaka magi duto. (Sela)
Thy fury lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (Selah)
8 Isemiyo osiepena mane ni machiegni koda mogik oringa, kendo isemiyo koro achalonegi mana koko. Odinna ma ok anyal tony;
Thou hast put my familiar friends far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 wengena ok nen maber nikech kuyo ma an-go. Aluongi odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; achikoni lwetena.
Mine eye consumeth by reason of affliction. Upon thee, Jehovah, have I called every day; I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
10 Bende itimo honni magi ne joma otho? Joma otho bende nyalo chier kendo mi paki? (Sela)
Wilt thou do wonders to the dead? shall the shades arise and praise thee? (Selah)
11 Herani bende inyiso joma ni ei liel; adier, koso adierani bende yudore e kethruok piny?
Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? thy faithfulness in Destruction?
12 Timbeni miwuoro bende ongʼere kama otimo mudhono, kata timbeni makare e piny ma ilalieno?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Anto aywakni mondo ikonya, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; lamona chopo e nyimi gokinyi.
But as for me, Jehovah, I cry unto thee, and in the morning my prayer cometh before thee.
14 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, angʼo momiyo idaga kendo ipandona wangʼi?
Why, O Jehovah, castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?
15 Aseneno chandruok chakre tin-na mi adwa tho; asewinjo malit nikech thagruok misekelona, kendo chunya oseol.
I am afflicted and expiring from my youth up; I suffer thy terrors, [and] I am distracted.
16 Mirimbi mager oseywaya; thagruok mimiya osetieka.
Thy fierce anger hath gone over me; thy terrors have brought me to nought:
17 Gilwora ka ataro odiechiengʼ duto; gisedinona chuth koni gi koni.
They have surrounded me all the day like water; they have compassed me about together.
18 Isemaya osiepena gi joherana; mudho mandiwa ema koro odongʼ machiegni koda kaka osiepna.
Lover and associate hast thou put far from me: my familiar friends are darkness.
