Psalms 140
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom joma richo, konya e lwet jo-mahundu,
2 Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.
joma chano chenro maricho e chunygi kendo gitugo lweny pile pile.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Gipiago lewgi mabith ka lew thuol kendo kwiri mar thuond fu ni e lewgi. (Sela)
4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
Rita, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, rita e lwet joma timbegi richo; konya e lwet jo-mahundu machano gajo tiendena.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)
Josunga chikona obadho; giseyarona gogo mondo amokie, kendo gisechikona otegu e yorega ma aluwo. (Sela)
6 I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, awachoni niya, “In Nyasacha.” Omiyo yie iwinja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.
7 Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma jakonyna motegno, in migengʼona wiya sa ma lweny ger.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)
Kik iyie mondo joma timbegi richo oyud gik ma chunygi gombo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kik iyie mondo chenrogi otimre. (Sela)
9 [As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Mi mondo chandruok ma joma olwora bwogago, odog e wiyegi.
10 Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
Mi mondo makaa maliel mager oolre kuomgi, ee, ne ni odirgi e mach, kata e thidhna ma nimo ji, ma ok ginyal wuokie kendo.
11 Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.
Mi mondo joma ketho nying jowetegi kik dhi maber e piny, ee, ne ni masira olawo jo-mahundu mi ojukogi.
12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye miyo jodhier yudo adieragi, kendo oneno ni ongʼad bura kare ne joma ochando.
13 Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Joma kare biro pako nyingi adier kendo joma ngimagi oriere tir biro dak kangima e nyimi.
