Sams-Zgame 42

1 Dia afumo'ma tinku'ma ave'nesigeno tinku'ma hakeno vanoma nehiaza hu'na Anumzamokagura nagu'amo'a tusiza huno ave'nesie.

Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.

2 Tinku'ma ave'nesigenoma hiaza huno nagu'amo'a kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Anumzamofonkura nave'nesige'na nazupa agri avurera vugahue hu'na nagesa nentahue.

I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”

3 Hanine zagenena zavi'ma netogeno navunuma hiazamo'a nezaniagna nehigeno, ha' vahenimo'za hu'za kagri Anumzana iga mani'ne? hu'za hu'naze.

Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”

4 Hagi mono'ma hunegantona knare'ma, ko'ma vahe kevuma zamavare'na mono nonka'afima, nevuge'zama zagamema hu'za musenkasema nehaza zanku'ma nagesa nentahugeno, tumonimo'a netanie.

I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.

5 Hagi nagafare nagu'amo'a kna nehie? Nagafare tumo'nimo'a netanege'na nasunkura nehue? Nagra Anumzamokare namentintia nehuanki'na, Agrama nagu'mavazi'nea zanku agia ahentesga hugahue.

So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”

6 Hagi menina nagu'amo'a kna nehianagi, Jodani mopafima ogantuma me'nea Hemoni agonare'ene Misa agonare mani'nena Anumzanimokagura nagesa antahimigahue.

[But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.

7 Hagi hagerimo'ma knafu knafu'ma huno agasasama neriankna huno, knazamo'a eme narefinete.

But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.

8 Hianagi mago mago kna Ra Anumzamo'a vagaore avesizama'areti avesinentege'na, mago mago kenegera zagamera hu'na agia erisga nehu'na, nasimu'ma namige'nama mani'noa Anumzamofontega nunamuna nehue.

Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.

9 Hagi nagra Anumzanimofontega krafagea hu'na, Anumzanimoka hankave havegani'a mani'nananki, nahigenka kagerakaninenantane? Na'a hige'za ha' vahenimo'za nazeri haviza nehazage'na nasuzampina vano nehue?

I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].

10 Hagi maka kna ha' vahenimo'zama kefinti'ma nazeri haviza nehu'za, iga Anumzanka'a mani'ne hu'zama haza zamo'a zaferinani'a ruhantagi'za rufuzafunepaze.

They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.

11 Nahigeno nagu'amo'a kna huno evuneramie? Hagi nahige'na nasuzampina mani'na nevue? Nagra Anumzamo'ma nazama hanigu amuhara hugahue! Nagu'mavazi ne', Anumzanimofona mago'ene zagamera hu'na agia erisga hugahie.

But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”
