Psalms 35
1 Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
Zaburi mar Daudi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye kedi gi joma kedo koda; ked gi joma lawa.
2 Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
Kaw kuodi gi okumbani; aa malo mondo ibi ikonya.
3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
Chom tongʼ ma dhoge bith mar kedo ibwog-go joma lawa. Wuo gi chunya kiwachone niya, “An e warruokni.”
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
Mad joma dwaro ketho ngimana, ne wichkuot gi achaya. Mad joma chanona hinyruok, chunygi nyosre mi giweya.
5 May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
Mad gichal gi mihudhi ma yamo tero, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye riembogi mabor;
6 May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
mad yore ma giluwo bed gi mudho bende yoregigo obed makierogi ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye lawogi.
7 For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
Nikech gichikona obadhogi kayiem nono kendo gikunyona bur kayiem mondo alwarie;
8 May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
mad kethruok jukgi apoya ka gikia mad obadhogi ma gisechikona makgi; mad gilwar ei bur ma kargi lal nono.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
Eka chunya nobed mamor kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo anabed gimor kuom warruokne.
10 All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
Ringra gi chunya duto, biro hulo kawacho niya, “En ngʼa machalo kodi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.” Ireso joma odhier e lwet joma nigi teko moloyogi, Adier, ikonyo joma odhier gi jochan kuom joma mayogi.
11 Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
Joma timo neno ma wengegi tek sudo nyime; gipenja gik ma ok angʼeyo gimoro amora kuomgi.
12 They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
Gichula rach kar ber, kendo giweyo chunya kochwanyore.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
To kane gituo magihewore to ne arwako law ywagruok kendo ne abolora katweyo chiemo. Kane lamona ok odwoki,
14 I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
ne awuotho koni gi koni ka chunya lit, mana ka gima aywago osiepna kata owadwa. Ne akulo wiya ka an gi kuyo maduongʼ mana ka gima aywago minwa.
15 But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
To kane achwanyora, negichokore kaachiel gi mor; joma ne monja nochokorena sa ma ok angʼeyo, negisiko ka giketho nyinga.
16 Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Kaka joma ok oluoro Nyasaye chayo ji, ne gijara ka gichano timona marach, ne gikayona lekegi.
17 How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
Yaye Ruoth, ibiro siko kirango gigi katimore nyaka karangʼo? Res ngimana kuom kethruok duto mag-gi. Akwayi ni ires ngimana ma nengone tek e lwet sibuochegi.
18 Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
Abiro goyoni erokamano e chokruok maduongʼ; abiro paki e dier oganda maduongʼ mochokore kaachiel.
19 Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
Kik iyie ni jogo osungre ni gisenyala, joma obedo wasika maonge gima omiyo; iyie joma ochaya maonge gimoro sigre gi wengegi mar timona marach.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
Ok giwuo gi kwe, to gichano wacho miriambo, kuom joma odak mos e piny.
21 They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
Giyawona dhogi maduongʼ kendo nyiera ka giwachona giwacho niya, “Haa! Haa! Wasenene gi wengewa wawegi.”
22 O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, iseneno timgini; kik ilingʼ. Kik ibed koda mabor, yaye Ruoth Nyasaye.
23 Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
Aa malo, kendo chungi mondo ikonya! Kedna, yaye Nyasacha kendo Ruodha.
24 Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
Yala kichwaka kuom timni makare, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha; kik iyienegi gisungre ni gisenyala.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
Kik iwe giwach e chunygi niya, “Ero, otimorene mana kaka ne wadwaro.” Kata giwach niya, “Koro wasemuonye ngili.”
26 May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
Mad ji duto mamor nikech chandruokna oyud wichkuot kendo pachgi olal; mad joma kaworena oyud wichkuot gi achaya.
27 May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
Mad joma mor kuom loch ma imiya okog gi ilo kod mor; mad gisiki kagiwacho kinde duto niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo otingʼ malo nikech omiyo jatichne locho.”
28 Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
Abiro pako timni makare kendo kuom pakni duto odiechiengʼ duto.
