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 of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
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.
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints, to the 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.
Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them].
4 Mutunfacl nukewa su raunikutla elos kaskas koluk kacsr; Elos isrun kut ac aksruksruki kut.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
5 LEUM GOD, ya kom ac mulat sesr nwe tok? Ya kasrkusrak lom ac fah srakna firir oana e?
How long, 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 that have not called upon thy name.
7 Tuh elos onela mwet lom Ac kunausla facl sum.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.
8 Nikmet akkeokye kut ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet matu lasr. Pakomutasr inge. Wanginla na pwaye finsrak lasr.
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily succor us: for we are brought very low.
9 Kasrekut, O God, ac molikutla. Tulekutla ac nunak munas ke ma koluk lasr Fal nu ke Inem.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away 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.
Why should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] avenging the blood of thy servants [which is] shed.
11 Lohng pusren sasao lun mwet kapir, Ac ke ku lulap lom, aksukosokyalosla su wotyang nu ke misa.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
12 O Leum, oru foloksak lom nu sin mutunfacl ingan pacl itkosr Ke kas in akkoluk su elos fahk keim uh.
And render to our neighbors seven-fold 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.
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.
