< Psalms 52 >

1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
Kuom jatend wer. Maskil mar Daudi. Kane noyudo Doeg ja-Edom nosedhi ir Saulo kendo onyise niya, “Daudi osedhi e od Ahimelek.” Angʼo momiyo isungori kuom tim marach, yaye ngʼat maratego? Angʼo momiyo isungori odiechiengʼ duto, in ma in gir wichkuot e nyim Nyasaye?
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Ichano timbe midwaro wuondogo ji, lewi bende chano gik modwaro hinyogo ji; kendo lewino chalo gi wembe mabith.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Ihero rach moloyo ber, miriambo mitni moloyo wacho adiera. (Sela)
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
Ihero weche duto machwanyo ji, yaye in lep mohero wuondni!
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
To Nyasaye biro tieli piny matieki chuth nyaka chiengʼ; obiro yudhi mi oyiechi oko e hembi; obiro pudhi mi ogoli e piny joma ngima. (Sela)
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
Joma kare biro neno mano mi gibed maluor; gibiro nyiere kagiwacho ni,
7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
“Koro neyeuru ngʼatno, mane ok okawo Nyasaye obedo kar pondo mare, to nogeno mana kuom mwandune mathoth kendo notieko joma moko mondo eka omed bedo gi teko!”
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
An to achalo yiend zeituni madongo maber e od Nyasaye; ageno kuom (hera) ma ok rem mar Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
Abiro paki nyaka chiengʼ kuom gima isetimo; abiro paki e nyim jogi maler. Abiro keto geno mara kuom nyingi, nikech nyingi ber.
