< Psalms 34 >

1 [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be 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 make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.
Chunya biro sungore kuom Jehova Nyasaye, joma nigi rem mondo owinji kendo obed mamor.
3 Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Miuru Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ kaachiel koda; watingʼuru nyinge malo kaachiel.
4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Ne amanyo Jehova Nyasaye ka alamo, kendo nodwoka; ne oresa e luoro duto ma an-go.
5 They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.
Joma oketo genogi kuome rieny; ok gi bi neno wichkuot.
6 This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
Ngʼat ma odhierni noluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowinje; ne orese mogole e chandruokne duto.
7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye oumo alwora mar jogo momiye luor kendo oresogi.
8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!
Bi mondo ine ni Jehova Nyasaye ber; ngʼat ma pondo kuome ogwedhi.
9 Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.
Luoruru Jehova Nyasaye, un joge maler, nikech joma omiye luor ok chand gimoro amora.
10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.
Sibuoche nyalo ool kendo kech nyalo kayogi, to joma manyo Jehova Nyasaye ok ochando gima ber moro amora.
11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
Biuru nyithinda kendo winjauru. Abiro puonjou luoro Jehova Nyasaye.
12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?
Ngʼato angʼata kuomu mohero ngima kendo nigi geno kuom ndalo mabiro mangʼeny mabeyo,
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;
nyaka ogengʼ lewe kik wuo marach kendo ogengʼ dhoge kuom wacho miriambo.
14 Depart 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 Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
Wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye ni kuom joma kare kendo ite winjo ywakgi;
16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:
to Jehova Nyasaye mon gi joma timo gik maricho, kendo omiyo wich wil kodgi e piny.
17 [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Joma kare koywak to Jehova Nyasaye winjogi; oresogi e chandruokgi duto.
18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
Jehova Nyasaye chiegni gi joma chunygi otur kendo oreso joma chunygi muol.
19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:
Ngʼat makare nyalo bedo gi chandruok mangʼeny, to Jehova Nyasaye rese kuomgi duto;
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
orito chokene duto, ma kata achiel kuomgi ok notur.
21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.
Timbe maricho biro nego ngʼama timbene rach, to jowasik joma kare, bura biro loyo.
22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
Jehova Nyasaye reso jotichne; onge ngʼato kata achiel mopondo kuome ma bura biro loyo.
