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, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer, 'Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' — An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,
2 Mad lamona chop e nyimi; yie ilok iti ne kwayona.
My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,
For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ikwana kaachiel gi joma ridore piny ei bur matut; achalo ngʼama onge teko.
I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without 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.
Among the dead — free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.
6 Iseketa ei bur matut mogik, ei piny mogik, kama olil ti.
Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
7 Mirimbi mager ogore kuoma mapek; isetamo wangʼa gi apaka magi duto. (Sela)
Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. (Selah)
8 Isemiyo osiepena mane ni machiegni koda mogik oringa, kendo isemiyo koro achalonegi mana koko. Odinna ma ok anyal tony;
Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up — I go not forth.
9 wengena ok nen maber nikech kuyo ma an-go. Aluongi odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; achikoni lwetena.
Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.
10 Bende itimo honni magi ne joma otho? Joma otho bende nyalo chier kendo mi paki? (Sela)
To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? (Selah)
11 Herani bende inyiso joma ni ei liel; adier, koso adierani bende yudore e kethruok piny?
Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?
12 Timbeni miwuoro bende ongʼere kama otimo mudhono, kata timbeni makare e piny ma ilalieno?
Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Anto aywakni mondo ikonya, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; lamona chopo e nyimi gokinyi.
And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.
14 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, angʼo momiyo idaga kendo ipandona wangʼi?
Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest 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 youth, I have borne Thy terrors — I pine away.
16 Mirimbi mager oseywaya; thagruok mimiya osetieka.
Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me off,
17 Gilwora ka ataro odiechiengʼ duto; gisedinona chuth koni gi koni.
They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,
18 Isemaya osiepena gi joherana; mudho mandiwa ema koro odongʼ machiegni koda kaka osiepna.
Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
