Zaburi 140
1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Resa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kuom joma richo, konya e lwet jo-mahundu,
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2 joma chano chenro maricho e chunygi kendo gitugo lweny pile pile.
Who imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they assembled [for] war.
3 Gipiago lewgi mabith ka lew thuol kendo kwiri mar thuond fu ni e lewgi. (Sela)
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adder's poison [is] under their lips. (Selah)
4 Rita, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, rita e lwet joma timbegi richo; konya e lwet jo-mahundu machano gajo tiendena.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 Josunga chikona obadho; giseyarona gogo mondo amokie, kendo gisechikona otegu e yorega ma aluwo. (Sela)
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. (Selah)
6 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, awachoni niya, “In Nyasacha.” Omiyo yie iwinja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak ma aywaknigo mondo ikecha.
I said to the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma jakonyna motegno, in migengʼona wiya sa ma lweny ger.
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Kik iyie mondo joma timbegi richo oyud gik ma chunygi gombo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kik iyie mondo chenrogi otimre. (Sela)
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 Mi mondo chandruok ma joma olwora bwogago, odog e wiyegi.
[As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Mi mondo makaa maliel mager oolre kuomgi, ee, ne ni odirgi e mach, kata e thidhna ma nimo ji, ma ok ginyal wuokie kendo.
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not again.
11 Mi mondo joma ketho nying jowetegi kik dhi maber e piny, ee, ne ni masira olawo jo-mahundu mi ojukogi.
Let not an evil speaker be established on the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him].
12 Angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye miyo jodhier yudo adieragi, kendo oneno ni ongʼad bura kare ne joma ochando.
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.
13 Joma kare biro pako nyingi adier kendo joma ngimagi oriere tir biro dak kangima e nyimi.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
