Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Kuom jatend wer. Wer mower kaluwore gi Gitith. Mar Asaf. Weruru matek gi mor ne Nyasaye mamiyowa teko, gouru koko matek ne Nyasach Jakobo!
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Chakuru wer, yiekuru oyieke; gweluru nyatiti gi asili mamit.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Gouru tung im ka dwe manyien ochakore, ma en ka dwe osetegno, e odiechiengʼ mar Nyasiwa mogen.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Ma en gima ochuno jo-Israel; chik ma Nyasach Jakobo nogolo.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Kane Nyasaye mirima omako gi jo-Misri, to ne ogure kaka chik ne Josef. Ne awinjo dwol ma ok angʼeyo kuma oaye kawacho kama:
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
“Ne agolo tingʼ mapek e gokgi, mi lwetgi nogony e tingʼo atonge.
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Ne iluongo ka in e chandruok mi akonyi, ne adwoki gi ei boche polo, kendo ne atemi e tie pige mag Meriba. (Sela)
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
“Winjuru wach, yaye joga, to abiro siemou, abiro siemou ka uikoru mar winja, yaye Israel.
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Kik ubed gi nyasaye ma wendo e dieru, kendo kik ukulru ne nyasaye ma ukia.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
An Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, mane ogolou Misri. Ngʼamuru dhou malach mondo apongʼe.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
“To joga nodagi winjo dwonda kendo Israel nodagi timo kaka achikogi.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Omiyo ne aweyogi nikech chunygi ne tek, kendo negiluwo yoregi giwegi.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
“Ka dine joga yie winja, ka dine Israel yie lu yorena,
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
mano kaka dine atieko wasikgi piyo piyo kendo dine agoyo joma kedo kodgi gi lweta!
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
Joma ochayo Jehova Nyasaye dine okulorene gi luoro, kendo kum margi osiko nyaka chiengʼ.
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
To un dine apidhou gi ngano maber mogik, kendo dine aromou gi mor kich ma athodho e lwanda.”
