Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Ondanyo mar singruok.” Miktam mar Daudi. Mar puonjo. Kane okedo gi Aram-Naharaim kod Aram Zoba, kendo kane Joab odwogo mi onego jo-Edom alufu apar gariyo e Holo mar Chumbi. Yaye Nyasaye, isedagiwa mi imuomori kuomwa; isebedo ka ikecho kodwa, to koro loswa!
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Iseyiengo piny mi ibare diere ariyo, Los kuondene mosebarore, nikech oyiengni.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Isenyiso jogi kinde mag chandruok mapek; isemiyowa kongʼo mamiyo wakwangʼ.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
To isechungo bandech loch ni joma oluori mondo oumgi ka oywanegi atungʼ. (Sela)
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Reswa kendo konywa gi lweti ma korachwich mondo joma ihero ogol e chandruok.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Nyasaye osewuoyo gie kare maler kowacho niya, “Abiro pogo Shekem ne ji, kendo abiro pimo ne ji Holo mar Sukoth.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Gilead en mara, Manase bende mara; Efraim en oguta mar lweny, to Juda en osimbona mar loch.
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab en besen mara mar luok, to Edom e kama amoe wuochena; Filistia ema akoke ka aseloyo lweny.”
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
En ngʼa mabiro kela e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno? Ngʼa mabiro telona nyaka Edom?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Donge in ema isedagiwa, yaye Nyasaye, kendo tinde ok idhi gi jolwenjwa e lweny?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Miwa kony mondo walo wasikwa, nikech kony mar dhano onge tich.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Wabiro loyo lweny ka Nyasaye nikodwa, kendo obiro nyono wasikwa piny.
