Psalm 129

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

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

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

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

The plowers plowed on my back: they made long their furrows.

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

The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

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

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

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 the grass on the housetops, which wither before it grows up:

7 Wangin mwet sifelosyak inpaolos, Ku losani ac usla.

With which the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds 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.”

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be on you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
