Psalms 140
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Deliver me, LORD, 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 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
joma chano chenro maricho e chunygi kendo gitugo lweny pile pile.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Gipiago lewgi mabith ka lew thuol kendo kwiri mar thuond fu ni e lewgi. (Sela)
4 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
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, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. (Selah)
Josunga chikona obadho; giseyarona gogo mondo amokie, kendo gisechikona otegu e yorega ma aluwo. (Sela)
6 I said to the LORD, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, awachoni niya, “In Nyasacha.” Omiyo yie iwinja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.
7 LORD, the strength of my salvation, you shield my head on the day of battle.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma jakonyna motegno, in migengʼona wiya sa ma lweny ger.
8 LORD, do not grant the desires of the wicked. Do not let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (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 who surround 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 thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
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 An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Mi mondo joma ketho nying jowetegi kik dhi maber e piny, ee, ne ni masira olawo jo-mahundu mi ojukogi.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye miyo jodhier yudo adieragi, kendo oneno ni ongʼad bura kare ne joma ochando.
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
Joma kare biro pako nyingi adier kendo joma ngimagi oriere tir biro dak kangima e nyimi.
