Psalms 69
1 O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
Kuom jatend wer e dwol mar “Ondanyo.” Mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Nyasaye, nikech pi oseima nyaka e ngʼuta.
2 I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
Asechako nimo e chwodho matut, kama onge lowo motegno ma ngʼato nyalo chungʼie. Asechopo e chuny pi kama tut, kendo apaka olwora oketa diere.
3 I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
Koro aseywak mondo okonya mi aol; dwonda rewni. Wengena pek, ka amanyo Nyasacha.
4 Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
Joma ochaya maonge gima omiyo ngʼeny moloyo yie wiya; joma olokore wasika kayiem thoth adier, jogogo madwaro mondo otieka. Ichuna mondo adwok gima ne ok akwalo.
5 O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
Ingʼeyo fupa, yaye Nyasaye; kethona ok opondoni.
6 O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
Mad joma ogeno kuomi kik ne wichkuot nikech an, yaye Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego; mad joma manyi kik ne wichkuot nikech an, yaye Nyasach Israel.
7 People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
Nimar ji yanya to alingʼ alingʼa nikech in, kendo wichkuot obako lela wangʼa.
8 Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
Achalo wendo ne owetena an kaka jamwa ne yawuot minwa;
9 [Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
nikech (hera) matut ma aherogo odi tieka, kendo ayenje mag joma yanyi lwar kuoma.
10 When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
Ka aywak kendo atweyo chiemo to pod nyaka ayud ayany;
11 When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
ka arwako law ywak, to ji oloka ngero.
12 Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
Joma obet e rangach jara, kendo alokora wer ma jokongʼo wero.
13 But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
To alami, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, e kinde ma iikori mar konya; kuom herani maduongʼ, yaye Nyasaye, dwoka gi resruok mari mar adier.
14 Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
Gola oko e chwodho, kik iyie anim; resa e lwet joma ochaya, gola e chuny pi kama tut.
15 Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
Kik iwe ohula ywera mi tera kata kut mwonya duto, kata bur matut um dhoge ka an e iye.
16 O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
Dwoka, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, dwoka, nikech herani ber; lokri ira kuom kechni maduongʼ.
17 Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
Kik ipand wangʼi ne jatichni; dwoka piyo, nikech anie chandruok.
18 Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
Bi machiegni mondo ikonya, resa nikech joma kedo koda.
19 You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
Ingʼeyo kaka ijara, kaka ikuodo wiya kendo kaka aneno wichkuot; wasika duto ochoma tir.
20 [Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
Ajara osechodo chunya kendo aonge gi kar kony. Ne amanyo joma hoya, to ne ok ayudo kata achiel.
21 [Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
Negiketo kedhno e chiemba kendo negimiya kong andwayo mondo otiekna riyo.
22 I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
Mad mesa mochan e nyimgi lokre obadho; kendo mad olokrenegi gir chulo kuor kod otegu.
23 I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
Mad wengegi dinre mondo kik ginen kendo oguchgi odolre nyaka chiengʼ.
24 Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
Ol mirimbi kuomgi; we mirimbi mager omakgi.
25 Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
Mad miechgi dongʼ gundni; kendo kik iyie ne ngʼato angʼata dag e hembgi.
26 [Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
Nimar gisando joma ihinyo kendo giwuoyo kuom lit mag joma ihinyo.
27 Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
Ket ketho e wigi kuom ketho ka ketho ma gitimo; kendo kik iyie giyud warruok mari.
28 Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
Mad ruch kargi oko e kitap joma ngima kendo kik kwan-gi kaachiel gi joma kare.
29 As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
An-gi rem kendo awinjo marach e chunya; mad warruokni rita, yaye Nyasaye.
30 When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
Abiro pako nying Nyasaye gi wer kendo abiro miyo nyinge duongʼ gi erokamano.
31 My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
Mano biro miyo Jehova Nyasaye mor moloyo rwadh pur, moloyo rwath mabwoch man-gi tungene kod ombongʼne.
32 Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
Joma odhier biro neno mi gibed mamor, un ma udwaro Nyasaye mad chunyu bed mangima!
33 Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
Jehova Nyasaye winjo joma ochando kendo ok olok ngʼeye ne joge motwe.
34 I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
Piny gi polo mondo opake, kaachiel gi nembe kod gik moko duto mawuothoe igi,
35 God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
nikech Nyasaye biro reso Sayun kendo obiro gero dala mag Juda kendo. Eka ji nodag kanyo kendo ginikawe kaka margi;
36 The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
enobed girkeni mar koth jotichne, kendo joma ohero nyinge nodag kanyo.
