Psalms 16
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
Miktam mar Daudi. Rita maber, yaye Nyasaye nikech in e kar pondona.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
Ne awacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “In e Ruodha; onge gima ber machielo ma an-go makmana in.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
To jomaler manie piny, to gin kaka joma nigi duongʼ ma ahero gi chunya duto.
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
Joma lawo nyiseche mamoko kuyo margi biro medore. Misengini magi mag remo ok abi olo oko kendo kata nying-gi ok abi hulo gi dhoga.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
Jehova Nyasaye, isemiya pok makora kod okombena; iserita maber gi giga duto.
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
Kiepena duto ochopo kuonde mabeyo; adier, girkeni maga duto moro wangʼ adier.
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye mangʼadona rieko; kata gotieno chunya puonja.
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Asiko aketo Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende biro yweyo gi kwe,
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
nikech ok inijwangʼa ei liel, to bende ok niyie Ngʼati Maler tow. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Isenyisa yor ngima; inipongʼa gi mor mogundho ka an e nyimi, kendo gi mor mosiko e badi korachwich.
