Psalm 129

1 Israel, srumun luman akkeok lun mwet lokoalok nu suwos Oe ke kowos fusr ah me.

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 “Oe ke nga fusr ah me nwe inge, Mwet lokoalok luk elos akkeokyeyu arulana upa, Tusruktu elos tiana kutangyula.

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 Elos kanteya fintukuk arulana loal Oana ke elos pikin acn in orek ima lalos uh.

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 Tusruktu LEUM GOD, su arulana suwoswos, El aksukosokyeyula liki moul in kohs.”

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 Lela tuh elos nukewa su srunga Zion In kutangyukla ac lillilyak.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 Lela tuh elos in oana mah su yoki oan fin mangon lohm uh, Su paola ac tia ku in kapak.

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

7 Wangin mwet sifelosyak inpaolos, Ku losani ac usla.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 Wangin mwet su fahsr alukela acn se inge fah fahk, “Lela God Elan akinsewowoye kom! Kut akinsewowoye kom ke Inen LEUM GOD.”

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
