Zaburi 27
1 Zaburi mar Daudi. Jehova Nyasaye e lerna kendo e warruokna; en ngʼa ma daluor? Jehova Nyasaye e kama ngimana opondoe. En ngʼa ma dibwoga?
David’s. Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?
2 Ka joma richo lawa mondo oketh ngimana, ka wasika kod joma kedo koda monja, to gibiro kier mi gipodhi.
When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies—mine!—they, stumbled and fell!
3 Kata ka jolweny ogoyona agengʼa koni gi koni, to chunya ok bi luor; kata ka lweny otugorena, to pod abiro mana bedo gi chir.
Though there pitch against me—a camp, my heart shall not fear, —Though there come up against me—a battle, still, am I confident.
4 Gimoro achiel kende ema akwayo Jehova Nyasaye, ma e gima adwaro moloyo; ni mondo adag e od Jehova Nyasaye ndalo duto mag ngimana, mondo achom wangʼa kuom ber mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo amanye e hekalu mare.
One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, —That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.
5 Nikech chiengʼ ma chandruok omaka obiro panda maber e kar dakne; obiro panda e kar pondo mar hembe maler kendo obiro keta malo ewi lwanda.
For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, —He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
6 Eka abiro bedo jaloch ka aloyo wasigu duto molwora; abiro timo misango mar pak ka akok gimor e hembe maler. Abiro wer kendo abiro loso wende mamit ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
7 Winj dwonda ka aluongo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kecha kendo idwoka.
Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
8 Chunya wuoyo kuomi kawacho niya, “Many wangʼ Nyasaye ka ilemo!” Wangʼi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ema abiro manyo.
To thee, said my heart—[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face—Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
9 Kik ipandna wangʼi, kik iriemb jatichni ka mirima omaki, in ema isebedo jakonyna. Kik ikweda bende kik ijwangʼa, yaye Nyasaye Jawarna.
Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, —My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
10 Kata obedo ni wuonwa gi minwa ojwangʼa to Jehova Nyasaye biro rwaka.
When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
11 Puonja yoreni, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; telna e yo moriere tir, nikech joma sanda.
Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, —And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
12 Kik ijwangʼa ne dwach wasika, nikech joneno mag miriambo oramona matek, ka gichano mar hinya.
Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.
13 To an gi ratiro kuom wachni: ni pod abiro neno ber Jehova Nyasaye, e piny joma ngima.
I believe that I shall see—The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,
14 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye; bed motegno ka in gi chir, kendo rit kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
Wait thou for Yahweh, —Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
