Psalms 80
1 [Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Ondanyo mar Singruok.” Mar Asaf. Zaburi. Chiknwa iti, yaye Jakwadh jo-Israel, in mitelo ne Josef ka kweth mar dhok. In mibet e kom loch e kind kerubi, koro rieny ane
2 Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
e nyim Efraim, gi Benjamin gi Manase. Nyis tekri, kendo bi mondo ireswa.
3 God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
Dwogwa iri, yaye Nyasaye; mi wangʼi orienynwa, eka mondo wayud warruok.
4 Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego, mirimbi biro siko koyienyo, gi lamo mar jogi nyaka karangʼo?
5 [It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
Isemiyo gichamo pi wangʼ ka kuon kendo isemiyo gimodho pi wangʼ agwetni modhuro.
6 You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
Isemiyo wadoko rachwany ne jobutwa, kendo wasikwa jarowa.
7 God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
Dwogwa iri, yaye Nyasaye Maratego; mi wangʼi orienynwa, eka mondo wayud warruok.
8 [Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
Ne igolo mzabibu moro e piny Misri, kendo ne iriembo ogendini mi ipidhe kargi.
9 [Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
Ne ilosone lowo maber, kendo nochwoyo tiendene piny mi opongʼo piny.
10 [Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
Tipo Nyasaye noimo gode duto, mana ka yiende sida ma odongo ma bedene olak.
11 [your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
Noyaro bedene madongo nyaka e Nam Mediterania kendo noloth mochweyo nyaka e Aora Yufrate.
12 So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
Koro angʼo momiyo isemuko ohinga mage, momiyo ji duto makadho pone ka olemo.
13 and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
Mbithe moa e bungu kethe, kendo le mag bungu chame.
14 You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
Duog irwa, yaye Nyasaye Maratego! Ngʼi piny gie polo mondo ine! Ngʼi mzabibu maber,
15 who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
yien ma lweti ma korachwich ema nopidho gi tiende, ma en wuodi misepidho in iwuon.
16 Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
Mzabibu mari osetongʼ mi owangʼ gi mach, jogi lal nono nikech isekwerogi.
17 But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
Mad lweti bed kuom ngʼat mobet e bathi korachwich, ma en wuod dhano misemiyo teko in iwuon.
18 When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
Eka ok wanachak walokre waweyi; konywa wabed mangima, kendo wabiro pako nyingi.
19 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
Dwogwa iri, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye Maratego; mi wangʼi orienynwa, eka mondo wayud warruok.
