Psalms 18
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi jatich Jehova Nyasaye. Nowerone Jehova Nyasaye weche mag wendni kinde mane Jehova Nyasaye orese e lwet wasike duto kendo e lwet Saulo. Nowacho niya: Aheri, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in e tekra.
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Jehova Nyasaye en lwandana, en kar pondo mara kendo en jawarna; Nyasacha en lwandana ma apondo kuome. En okumbana, en tungʼ mar warruokna, kendo en ohingana.
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Aluongo Jehova Nyasaye, en mowinjore gi pak, kendo oresa e lwet wasika.
4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
Tonde mag tho ne orida matek; kendo ohula mangʼongo mar tho nouma.
Tonde mag liel ne orida kendo odhoga matek; obadho mag tho ne ochoma tir. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
E chandruok ne aluongo Jehova Nyasaye; ne aywak ne Nyasaye mondo okonya. Ne owinjo dwonda gie hekalu mare; ywakna nochopo e nyime, modonjo e ite.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
Piny notetni kendo oyiengni; kendo mise mag gode notetni; ne gikirni nikech ne okecho.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
Iro nodum koa e otuchi mag ume; mach mangʼangʼni nodhuolore kawuok e dhoge, kendo makaa maliel mager nobebni kawuok kuome.
9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Nobaro polo mobiro e piny; rumbi molil ti nonyono gi tiende.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
Noidho kerubi eka ofuyo; ne ofuyo matek komoko e bwomb yamo.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Noloko mudho kaka raum mare, mudhono nobedo hema molwore, kendo nokawo rumbi mar koth moloko raumne.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
Boche nowuok e ler marieny mane aa kuome, kaachiel gi pe madongo dongo kod mil polo ma tiarore.
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
Jehova Nyasaye nomor gie polo; dwond Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo nowinjore.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Nodiro asernige mokeyo wasigu, mor polo gi mil polo noriembogi.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Holni manie bwo nembe noelore kendo mise mag piny nowe nono, kane ikwerogi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kane teko mar muya mowuok e otuchi mag umi ogoyogi.
16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
Nochopo ira piny koa malo mi okawa; ne ogola oko e kude mag pi matut.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
Noresa e lwet jasika maratego, kuom jowasika, mane tek moloya.
18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
Negimonja e kinde mane an gi masira, to Jehova Nyasaye ema nokonya.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Ne okela moketa kama lach; ne oresa nikech chunye ne mor koda.
20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Jehova Nyasaye osetimona maber ka oluwore gi timna makare; osechiwona ka oluwore gi ler mar lwetena.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Nikech aserito yore Jehova Nyasaye; pok atimo marach kuom lokora weyo Nyasacha.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
Chikene duto ni e nyima; pok alokora aweyo buchene.
23 And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
Asebedo ka aonge ketho e nyime kendo aseritora mondo kik atim richo.
24 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Jehova Nyasaye osechiwona kaluwore gi timna makare, osechiwona kaluwore gi ler mar lwetena e nyime.
25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
Ne joma jo-adiera, inyisori kaka ja-adiera, kendo ne joma longʼo, inyisori kaka ngʼama longʼo,
26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
ne jomaler, inyisori kaka ngʼama ler, to ne joma yoregi obam, inyisori kaka ngʼama rach.
27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
Ireso joma muol to joma wengegi tek idwoko piny.
28 For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
In ema imiyo tacha siko kaliel, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; Nyasacha loko mudho mouma doko ler.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Ka ikonya to anyalo loyo jolweny momonja; ka an gi Nyasacha to anyalo lwenyo ohinga.
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Nyasaye to yore longʼo chuth; wach Jehova Nyasaye onge rem moro amora. En okumba ne ji duto ma pondo kuome.
31 For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
Nikech en Nyasaye mane minyalo pimo gi Jehova Nyasaye? Koso en ngʼa ma en Lwanda, ka ok Nyasachwa?
32 The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
Nyasaye ema miya teko kendo omiyo yora bedo mokwe.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
Omiyo tiendena bedo mayot ka tiende mwanda; kendo en ema omiyo achungʼ kuonde man malo maboyo.
34 Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
Otiego lwetena ne lweny; momiyo bedena nyalo dolo atung nyinyo.
35 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
Isemiya okumba mar warruokni, kendo lweti korachwich osesira; kony mari osemiyo abedo gi duongʼ.
36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
Imiyo yo mawuothoe bedo malach, mondo tiendena kik ba yo.
37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
Ne alawo wasika mi ajukogi; kendo ne ok alokora aweyogi nyaka ne atiekogi pep.
38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
Ne atiekogi, mane ok ginyal chungʼ; negipodho e tienda.
39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
Ne imiya teko mar kedo lweny; ne imiyo jomamon koda kulore e nyima.
40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
Ne imiyo wasika oringo kadhi, mine atieko joma ok dwara.
41 They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
Ne giywak mondo okonygi to onge ngʼama ne nyalo resogi; ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye to ne ok odwokogi.
42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Ne agoyogi adunya ka buru ma yamo tero, ne achodhogi oko ka chwodho mag yore mag dala.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
Ne iresa e ywaruok gi ji. Ne iketa jatend ogendini; joma ne ok angʼeyo chon notiyona.
44 At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
Kane giwinjo humba, ne giwinja; jopinje mamoko nobiro motwere kuoma.
45 Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
Negibiro ka gitetni; kendo ka chunygi ool, ka gia kuondegi mag pondo.
46 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
Jehova Nyasaye ngima! Lwandana mondo ogwedhi. Kendo Nyasaye mar Warruokna mondo otingʼ malo!
47 The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
Nyasaye mane ochulo kuor kara kendo oloyo ogendini e bwoya;
48 Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
mane oresa e lwet wasika; ne itingʼa malo e kind wasika ne iresa e lwet jo-mahundu.
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
Emomiyo anapaki e kind ogendini, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kendo anawer wende mapako nyingi.
50 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Jehova Nyasaye kelo resruok maduongʼ ne ruoth moketo, onyiso (hera) mogundho ma ok rum ne ngʼate mowir, ni Daudi gi nyikwaye nyaka chiengʼ.
