Psalms 60

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, 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 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

Iseyiengo piny mi ibare diere ariyo, Los kuondene mosebarore, nikech oyiengni.

3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

Isenyiso jogi kinde mag chandruok mapek; isemiyowa kongʼo mamiyo wakwangʼ.

4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

To isechungo bandech loch ni joma oluori mondo oumgi ka oywanegi atungʼ. (Sela)

5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

Reswa kendo konywa gi lweti ma korachwich mondo joma ihero ogol e chandruok.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

Nyasaye osewuoyo gie kare maler kowacho niya, “Abiro pogo Shekem ne ji, kendo abiro pimo ne ji Holo mar Sukoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defence of my head. Judah is my sceptre.

Gilead en mara, Manase bende mara; Efraim en oguta mar lweny, to Juda en osimbona mar loch.

8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Moab en besen mara mar luok, to Edom e kama amoe wuochena; Filistia ema akoke ka aseloyo lweny.”

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

En ngʼa mabiro kela e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno? Ngʼa mabiro telona nyaka Edom?

10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

Donge in ema isedagiwa, yaye Nyasaye, kendo tinde ok idhi gi jolwenjwa e lweny?

11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

Miwa kony mondo walo wasikwa, nikech kony mar dhano onge tich.

12 Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

Wabiro loyo lweny ka Nyasaye nikodwa, kendo obiro nyono wasikwa piny.
