Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
Zaburi mar Daudi. Kane owuondore ni in janeko e nyim Abimelek, mane oriembe mi oa odhi. Abiro miyo Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ kinde duto; dhoga biro siko kapake.
2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.
Chunya biro sungore kuom Jehova Nyasaye, joma nigi rem mondo owinji kendo obed mamor.
3 Magnify you the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Miuru Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ kaachiel koda; watingʼuru nyinge malo kaachiel.
4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
Ne amanyo Jehova Nyasaye ka alamo, kendo nodwoka; ne oresa e luoro duto ma an-go.
5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
Joma oketo genogi kuome rieny; ok gi bi neno wichkuot.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
Ngʼat ma odhierni noluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowinje; ne orese mogole e chandruokne duto.
7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye oumo alwora mar jogo momiye luor kendo oresogi.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
Bi mondo ine ni Jehova Nyasaye ber; ngʼat ma pondo kuome ogwedhi.
9 Fear the Lord, all you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.
Luoruru Jehova Nyasaye, un joge maler, nikech joma omiye luor ok chand gimoro amora.
10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not lack any good thing. (Pause)
Sibuoche nyalo ool kendo kech nyalo kayogi, to joma manyo Jehova Nyasaye ok ochando gima ber moro amora.
11 Come, you children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Biuru nyithinda kendo winjauru. Abiro puonjou luoro Jehova Nyasaye.
12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
Ngʼato angʼata kuomu mohero ngima kendo nigi geno kuom ndalo mabiro mangʼeny mabeyo,
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
nyaka ogengʼ lewe kik wuo marach kendo ogengʼ dhoge kuom wacho miriambo.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Lokri iwe timbe maricho kendo itim tim maber; many kwe kendo iluwe.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
Wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye ni kuom joma kare kendo ite winjo ywakgi;
16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,
to Jehova Nyasaye mon gi joma timo gik maricho, kendo omiyo wich wil kodgi e piny.
17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
Joma kare koywak to Jehova Nyasaye winjogi; oresogi e chandruokgi duto.
18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
Jehova Nyasaye chiegni gi joma chunygi otur kendo oreso joma chunygi muol.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.
Ngʼat makare nyalo bedo gi chandruok mangʼeny, to Jehova Nyasaye rese kuomgi duto;
20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
orito chokene duto, ma kata achiel kuomgi ok notur.
21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
Timbe maricho biro nego ngʼama timbene rach, to jowasik joma kare, bura biro loyo.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
Jehova Nyasaye reso jotichne; onge ngʼato kata achiel mopondo kuome ma bura biro loyo.
