Psalm 129

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

A song of ascents. “Sore have they vexed me from youth” thus let Israel say

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

“Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

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

“The ploughers ploughed on my back, they made their furrows long.

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

But the Lord, who is righteous, has cut the cords of the wicked.”

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

Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.

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

May they be as the grass on the house-top, which withers before it shoots up;

7 Wangin mwet sifelosyak inpaolos, Ku losani ac usla.

which fills not the arms of the reaper, nor the lap of the binder of sheaves

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

whereof no one says as they pass, “The blessing of God be upon you.” In the name of the Lord we bless you.
