Psalms 16
1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
Miktam mar Daudi. Rita maber, yaye Nyasaye nikech in e kar pondona.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Ne awacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “In e Ruodha; onge gima ber machielo ma an-go makmana in.”
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
To jomaler manie piny, to gin kaka joma nigi duongʼ ma ahero gi chunya duto.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on my lips.
Joma lawo nyiseche mamoko kuyo margi biro medore. Misengini magi mag remo ok abi olo oko kendo kata nying-gi ok abi hulo gi dhoga.
5 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
Jehova Nyasaye, isemiya pok makora kod okombena; iserita maber gi giga duto.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Kiepena duto ochopo kuonde mabeyo; adier, girkeni maga duto moro wangʼ adier.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye mangʼadona rieko; kata gotieno chunya puonja.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
Asiko aketo Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende biro yweyo gi kwe,
nikech ok inijwangʼa ei liel, to bende ok niyie Ngʼati Maler tow. (Sheol h7585)
11 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Isenyisa yor ngima; inipongʼa gi mor mogundho ka an e nyimi, kendo gi mor mosiko e badi korachwich.
