Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Tho mar wuowi.” Zaburi mar Daudi. Abiro paki gi chunya duto, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; abiro nyiso timbegi madongo duto.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Abiro bedo mamor kendo abiro bedo moil kodi; abiro pako nyingi gi wer, yaye Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Wasika dok chien; gichwanyore kendo gilal e nyimi.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Nikech isechungʼna matek ka ichwaka isebet e kom duongʼ mari, kiyalo bura kare.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Isekwero ogendini kendo isetieko joma richo; iserucho nying-gi oko manyaka chiengʼ.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Kethruok mosiko osejuko jasigu, isemuko miechgi madongo; kendo wi ji osewil kodgi.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Jehova Nyasaye olocho nyaka chiengʼ, oseguro kom loch mare mar ngʼado bura.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Obiro ngʼado bura ne piny gi tim makare; obiro rito ogendini gi adiera.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Jehova Nyasaye en kar pondo ne joma idiyo, en e kar pondo e kinde mag chandruok.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Joma ongʼeyo nyingi biro geno kuomi, nikech in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ne pok ijwangʼo joma manyi.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Wer wende pak ne Jehova Nyasaye, mobet e kom lochne e Sayun; hul ni ogendini gik mosetimo.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Nikech ngʼat machulo kuor kuom remo mochwer siko kaparo; ok owe mak odewo ywak joma hinyore.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Neye kaka wasika sanda, yaye Jehova Nyasaye! Kecha kendo tingʼa igola e dhorangeye mag tho,
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
mondo anyis pakni e dhorangeye mag Nyi Sayun, kendo abed mamor kuno nikech warruokni.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Ogendini oselutore e buche ma gikunyo; tiendegi ogajore e tondegi ma gichokogo ji.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
Jehova Nyasaye ongʼere nikech adier mare; joma timbegi richo omoko e gik ma giloso gi lwetgi giwegi. (Higaion, Sela)
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Joma timbegi richo dok e bur matut, nyaka ogendini duto ma wigi wil gi Nyasaye. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
To jochan wiyi ok nowilgo ngangʼ kendo geno mar joma hinyore ok rum.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Aa malo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kik iyie mondo dhano olochi; ne ni ogendini ongʼadnegi bura e nyimi.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Gogi gi luoro, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; mi ogendini ongʼe ni gin mana dhano. (Sela)
