Psalm 79
1 [Psalm lal Asaph] O God, mwet pegan elos tuku utyak nu in acn sum. Elos akfohkfokye Tempul mutal lom, Ac arulana kunausla acn Jerusalem.
A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; they have polluted thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
2 Elos filiya mano misa lun mwet lom tuh won vulture in kangla, Ac monin mwet kulansap lom tuh in mwe mongo nun kosro lemnak.
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of thy holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
3 Elos okoalik srahn mwet lom oana kof; Srah soror oana kof in acn Jerusalem nufon, Ac wangin mwet lula we in puknelosi.
They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
4 Mutunfacl nukewa su raunikutla elos kaskas koluk kacsr; Elos isrun kut ac aksruksruki kut.
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
5 LEUM GOD, ya kom ac mulat sesr nwe tok? Ya kasrkusrak lom ac fah srakna firir oana e?
How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Furokla kasrkusrak lom nu fin mutunfacl saya su tia etekom, Nu faclos su tia pre nu sum.
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name.
7 Tuh elos onela mwet lom Ac kunausla facl sum.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
8 Nikmet akkeokye kut ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet matu lasr. Pakomutasr inge. Wanginla na pwaye finsrak lasr.
Remember not our old transgressions; let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
9 Kasrekut, O God, ac molikutla. Tulekutla ac nunak munas ke ma koluk lasr Fal nu ke Inem.
Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for thy name's sake.
10 Efu ku mutunfacl saya in siyuk sesr, “Ku pia God lowos an?” Lela kut in liye foloksak lom nu sin mutunfacl Su aksororye srahn mwet kulansap lom.
Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of thy servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
11 Lohng pusren sasao lun mwet kapir, Ac ke ku lulap lom, aksukosokyalosla su wotyang nu ke misa.
Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
12 O Leum, oru foloksak lom nu sin mutunfacl ingan pacl itkosr Ke kas in akkoluk su elos fahk keim uh.
Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13 Na kut, mwet lom, su sheep lun un kosro nutum, Fah sot kulo nu sum ma pahtpat, Ac kaksakin kom nwe tok.
For we are thy people and the sheep of thy pasture; we will give thee thanks for ever; we will declare thy praise throughout all generations.
