Psalms 129

1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

Israel, srumun luman akkeok lun mwet lokoalok nu suwos Oe ke kowos fusr ah me.

2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

“Oe ke nga fusr ah me nwe inge, Mwet lokoalok luk elos akkeokyeyu arulana upa, Tusruktu elos tiana kutangyula.

3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

Elos kanteya fintukuk arulana loal Oana ke elos pikin acn in orek ima lalos uh.

4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

Tusruktu LEUM GOD, su arulana suwoswos, El aksukosokyeyula liki moul in kohs.”

5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

Lela tuh elos nukewa su srunga Zion In kutangyukla ac lillilyak.

6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

Lela tuh elos in oana mah su yoki oan fin mangon lohm uh, Su paola ac tia ku in kapak.

7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

Wangin mwet sifelosyak inpaolos, Ku losani ac usla.

8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.

Wangin mwet su fahsr alukela acn se inge fah fahk, “Lela God Elan akinsewowoye kom! Kut akinsewowoye kom ke Inen LEUM GOD.”
