Psalms 77

1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.

Kuom jatend wer. Ne Jeduthun. Mar Asaf. Zaburi. Ne aywak ni Nyasaye mondo okonya, kendo ne aywak ni Nyasaye mondo owinja.

2 Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.

Kane an e chandruok, ne amanyo Ruoth Nyasaye; otieno duto ne arieyo bedena malo ma ok aol, kendo chunya nodagi hoch.

3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.

Ne apari mine ahum, yaye Nyasaye, ne aol kendo chunya nonyosore. (Sela)

4 [All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.

Ne imako wengena mi ok oimore, kendo ne an gi pek ma ok anyal wuoyo.

5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.

Ne aparo kuom ndalo machon, higni machon gi lala;

6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:

ne aparo wendena mag otieno. Ne aloso gi pacha awuon, kendo chunya nopenjo kama:

7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?

“Bende Ruoth Nyasaye nyalo dagi ngʼato chuth? Bende en adier ni ok obi ochak ongʼwon kendo?

8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?

Bende herane ma ok rem dirum chuth adier? Bende singruokne nyalo bare ma ok ochopo nyaka chiengʼ?

9 God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”

Dibed ni Nyasaye wiye osewil gi kecho ji? Koso mirimbe mager osemiyo ok okech joge?” (Sela)

10 Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”

Eka naparo niya, “Ma e kama abiro kwayoe kony: higni ma lwet Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo ma korachwich osetieko.

11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.

Abiro siko kaparo timbe Jehova Nyasaye; ee, abiro paro kuom honni magi machon gi lala.

12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.

Abiro paro mos kuom tijeni duto, abiro paro matut kuom timbeni madongo duto.”

13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!

Yoreni ler, yaye Nyasaye. En nyasaye mane maduongʼ kaka Nyasachwa?

14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.

In e Nyasaye matimo honni, inyiso tekoni e dier ji mopogore opogore.

15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.

Ne iwaro jogi gi badi maratego, jogi ma nyikwa Jakobo gi Josef. (Sela)

16 [It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.

Pige noneni, yaye Nyasaye, pige noneni mi luoro omakogi, kendo kude matut notetni.

17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.

Boche polo ne oolo pi piny, kendo polo nomor e kor polo, ka asernigi mil koni gi koni.

18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].

Mor polo mari nowinji ei yamo mager, mil polo mari nomenyo piny duto, kendo piny notetni kendo oyiengni.

19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.

Yori nongʼado dier nam, yo miluwo nokadho e dier pige maringo matek, kata obedo ni kuonde mane tiendeni onyono ne ok nyal ne gi wangʼ.

20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].

Ne itelone jogi ka rombe ka gin e lwet Musa gi Harun.
