Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa, jo-Israel mondo owach kamano,

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa kane ji omonjowa,

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

e kinde mane mirima mabebni ka mach omakogi kodwa, to dine gimwonyowa ngili;

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

ataro dine odinonwa, ee, kodh yamo dine oywerowa,

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Pak mondo odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma ok oseyie mondo gikidhwa gi lekegi.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

Wasetony mana ka winyo mowuok e wino mar jachik winy; wino osechodi, to wan wasetony.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Konyruokwa ni e nying Jehova Nyasaye, Jachwech polo gi piny.
