Zaburi 16
1 Miktam mar Daudi. Rita maber, yaye Nyasaye nikech in e kar pondona.
A Precious Psalm of David. Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
2 Ne awacho ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “In e Ruodha; onge gima ber machielo ma an-go makmana in.”
Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee.
3 To jomaler manie piny, to gin kaka joma nigi duongʼ ma ahero gi chunya duto.
It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight
4 Joma lawo nyiseche mamoko kuyo margi biro medore. Misengini magi mag remo ok abi olo oko kendo kata nying-gi ok abi hulo gi dhoga.
They multiply their idols—another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.
5 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiya pok makora kod okombena; iserita maber gi giga duto.
Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.
6 Kiepena duto ochopo kuonde mabeyo; adier, girkeni maga duto moro wangʼ adier.
The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.
7 Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye mangʼadona rieko; kata gotieno chunya puonja.
I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, —Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.
8 Asiko aketo Jehova Nyasaye e nyima ndalo duto. Nikech ka entie e lweta korachwich, to onge gima nyalo yienga.
I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
9 Emomiyo chunya mor kendo lewa yot; ringra bende biro yweyo gi kwe,
Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption: (Sheol h7585)
11 Isenyisa yor ngima; inipongʼa gi mor mogundho ka an e nyimi, kendo gi mor mosiko e badi korachwich.
Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, —Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
