Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David. Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
Zaburi mar Daudi. Winj lamona, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, chik iti ne ywakna mar kech; bi mondo ikonya nikech in ja-adiera kendo itimo maber.
2 Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
Kik imi jatichni yud kum nimar onge kata ngʼato achiel matimo maber e nyimi.
3 The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
Jasigu lawa matek, oserodha piny nyaka e lowo; ochuna ni nyaka adag kama otimo mudho mana ka joma notho chon gi lala.
4 I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
Omiyo chunya chandore e iya, ee, chunya obwok.
5 I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
Aparo higni machon mosekalo; aketo pacha mos kuom tijeni duto, kendo ageno gik ma lweti osetimo.
6 I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. (Selah)
Ayaroni lwetena; chunya gombi mana kaka lowo motwo gombo koth. (Sela)
7 Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
Dwoka piyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nimar chunya ool. Kik ipandna wangʼi nono to dipoka achalo gi joma ridore e bur matut.
8 Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
Mi mondo okinyi oromna gi herani ma ok rem, nimar aketo genona kuomi. Nyisa yo monego alu nimar aketo chunya duto kuomi.
9 Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
Resa e lwet wasika, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, nimar in e jaritna.
10 Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
Puonja timo dwaroni, nimar in e Nyasacha; mi mondo Roho mari maber, otelna e yo mopie.
11 Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kony ngimana nikech nyingi iwuon; gola oko e chandruok nikech timni maber.
12 In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
Mi wasika olingʼ thi, nikech herani ma ok rem; tiek joma kedo koda duto nimar an jatichni.
