< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa, jo-Israel mondo owach kamano,
2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa kane ji omonjowa,
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:
e kinde mane mirima mabebni ka mach omakogi kodwa, to dine gimwonyowa ngili;
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
ataro dine odinonwa, ee, kodh yamo dine oywerowa,
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Pak mondo odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma ok oseyie mondo gikidhwa gi lekegi.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Wasetony mana ka winyo mowuok e wino mar jachik winy; wino osechodi, to wan wasetony.
8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
Konyruokwa ni e nying Jehova Nyasaye, Jachwech polo gi piny.
