Zaburi 97

1 Jehova Nyasaye e Ruoth, omiyo piny mondo obed mamor; dho nembe man mabor mondo obed moil.

The Lord reigns! Let the earth be glad, and distant lands be full of joy!

2 Boche polo gi mudho mandiwa oume; tim makare gi adiera e mise mar lochne.

He is surrounded by clouds and thick darkness; his throne is founded on justice and right.

3 Mach liel e nyime kendo wangʼo wasike e alworane duto.

Flames proceed him, burning up his enemies on every side.

4 Mil polo mare menyo piny; piny neno kendo yiengni.

His flashes of lightning light up the world; the earth watches and trembles.

5 Gode leny nono ka odok e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, gileny nono e nyim Ruoth piny duto.

The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.

6 Polo hulo timne makare, kendo ji duto neno duongʼne.

The heavens proclaim his goodness; everyone sees his glory.

7 Ji duto malamo gik mokedi wigi okuot; jogo gin joma sungore kuom nyiseche mopa; nyiseche duto mondo olame!

All those who worship idols are humiliated, those who are proud of their idols—for all “gods” bow down before him.

8 Sayun nowinjo wachno mi obedo moil, miech Juda bende nobedo mamor, nikech bucheni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.

Jerusalem hears this and celebrates; all the towns of Judah are happy because of your judgments, Lord.

9 Nimar in Jehova Nyasaye, e Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo mohewo piny duto; iduongʼ kendo iyombo nyiseche mamoko duto mabor.

For you, Lord, are the highest of all, ruling over the whole earth; your position is far above any other god.

10 Joma ohero Jehova Nyasaye mondo osin gi gik maricho nimar orito ngima joge ma jo-adiera, kendo oresogi e lwet joma richo.

You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of those who are faithful to him, and saves them from the power of wicked people.

11 Joma kare imenyonegi ler; joma oriere gie chunygi imiyo mor.

Light shines on those who do good, giving joy to those who live right.

12 Moruru kuom Jehova Nyasaye un joma kare, kendo pakuru nyinge maler.

Be happy in the Lord, you who do right, and thank him for his holy nature!
