Psalms 74
1 A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smoulder against the sheep of your pasture?
Maskil mar Asaf. Angʼo momiyo isedagiwa nyaka chiengʼ, yaye Nyasaye? Angʼo momiyo mirimbi dhwolore ka iro kochomo rombe mag lek mari iwuon?
2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
Par jogi mane ingʼiewo chon gi lala, oganda ma gin girkeni mari, kendo mane iwaro, Got Sayun, kama in iwuon idakie.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
Lokri ichom kuonde mosebedo kokethore nyaka nene, lokri ichom kethruok maduongʼ ma jasigu osekelo e kari maler mar lemo.
4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
Wasiki noruto kama iromoe kodwa; kendo negichungo bendechegi mochungʼ kar timbegi maricho.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
Negitimore marach mana ka ji mangʼawo leyegi malo ka gidwaro tongʼo yiende madongo dongo modongo modhigore.
6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
Negituro chumbe modol odol gi tindogi kod nyundogi.
7 They have burnt your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
Ne giwangʼo kari maler mar lemo molokore buru, kendo ne gidwanyo kama nyingi dakie.
8 They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burnt up all the places in the land where God was worshipped.
Negiwacho e chunygi niya, “Wabiro tiekogi chuth!” Ne giwangʼo kuonde duto e piny mane ilame Nyasaye.
9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there amongst us anyone who knows how long.
Tinde ok wayud honni kata ranyisi, kendo onge jonabi modongʼ kata achiel, to onge kata ngʼato achiel kuomwa mongʼeyo ni mano biro bedo kamano nyaka karangʼo.
10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
Nyaka karangʼo ma jasigu biro jarie, yaye Nyasaye? Ibiro yiene jasigu mondo oyany nyingi nyaka chiengʼ koso?
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
Angʼo momiyo itamo lweti tiyo tichne, mana lweti ma korachwich? Gole oko kama isoye ei lepi mondo itiekgi!
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
To Nyasaye in e Ruodha nyaka chakre chon, yaye Nyasaye, kendo isebedo kikelo resruok e piny.
13 You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
In ema ne ipogo nam e diere ariyo gi tekoni, kendo ne itoyo wiye ondiek marach ei pi.
14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
In ema ne itoyo wiye Leviathan, mi ichiwe kaka chiemo ne le modak e thim.
15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
In ema ne iyawo sokni gi aore, kendo ne imiyo aore madongo ma ok dwon otwo.
16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
Odiechiengʼ en mari, kendo otieno bende mari, bende ne iguro wangʼ chiengʼ gi dwe keregi.
17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
In ema ne iketo tongʼ duto mag piny kende ne iguro oro gi chwiri.
18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, LORD. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
Parie kaka jasigu osejari, yaye Jehova Nyasaye. Parie kaka joma onge rieko osechayo nyingi.
19 Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
Kik iyie ichiw ngima mar akuch oduglani ne le mager mag bungu; kik wiyi wil gi ngima jogi mathagore nyaka chiengʼ.
20 Honour your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
Par singruok mari nikech timbe mahundu opongʼo kuonde duto motimo mudho e piny.
21 Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
Kik iyie mondo joma idiyo ringa ka wigi okuot, to mad joma odhier gi joma ochando opak nyingi.
22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
Aa malo mondo isir tichni, yaye Nyasaye; parie kaka joma ofuwo jari odiechiengʼ duto.
23 Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
Kik wiyi wil gi sibuoch wasiki, chom tir sigich wasiki mosiko medore ameda.
