Psalms 59
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Kik iketh gik moko.” Miktam mar Daudi. Kane Saulo ooro ji mondo ocher od Daudi mondo onege. Resa e lwet wasika, yaye Nyasaye; Rit ngimana kuom joma ogar koda.
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
Gola e lwet joma timo gik maricho kendo resa kuom joma riyo mar chwero remo omako.
3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
Neye kaka gibutona ka girita e yo! Joma kwiny chano kaka digihinya, to an onge gima rach kata richo masetimo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
Onge gima asetimo marach, to kata kamano gin to giikore monja. Aa malo ikonya; ne chandruokna.
5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego, in Nyasach Israel, aa malo ikum ogendini duto; kik ikech andhoke ma timbegi richo. (Sela)
6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
Gidwogo ka piny imore, ka gingʼur ka guogi, kendo giwuotho koni gi koni e dala ka gingʼanjo.
7 See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
Neye gik ma gingʼudho koa e dhogi, gingʼudho ligengni gi dhogi, kendo giwacho niya, “En ngʼa manyalo winjowa?”
8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
To in nyiergi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, go siboi ne ogendinigo duto.
9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
Yaye tekona, in ema angʼiyi, in e kar pondona, yaye Nyasaye,
10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
Yaye Nyasacha ma jahera. Nyasaye biro telona kendo obiro miyo asungra ne joma ketho nyinga.
11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
To kik uneg-gi, yaye Ruoth ma okumbana nikech joga dipoka wigi owil. Mi giba abaya koni gi koni gi tekoni, kendo mi gidog piny.
12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
Nikech richo ma gitimo gi dhogi kuom wuoyo, nikech weche mawuok e dhogi, wegi mondo sungagi ogajgi. Nikech gikwongʼo ji kendo gi wuondo ji,
13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
tiekgi gi mirimbi mager, tiekgi mi kargi lal nono, eka biro ngʼere e tungʼ piny koni gi koni ni Nyasaye nigi loch kuom joka Jakobo. (Sela)
14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
Gidwogo ka piny imore ka gingʼur ka guogi, kendo giwuotho koni gi koni e dala ka gingʼanjo.
15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
Gibayo koni gi koni ka gidwaro chiemo kendo ka ok giyiengʼ to gingʼur.
16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
Anto abiro wer kuom tekoni abiro wero herani gokinyi; nikech in e ohingana, in e kar pondona e kinde mag thagruok.
17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
In e tekona, omiyo abiro weroni wend pak; in e ohingana, yaye Nyasaye, in e Nyasacha ma jahera.
