Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Kuom jatend wer. Wer mower kaluwore gi Gitith. Mar Asaf. Weruru matek gi mor ne Nyasaye mamiyowa teko, gouru koko matek ne Nyasach Jakobo!
2 Take a psalm, and strike the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Chakuru wer, yiekuru oyieke; gweluru nyatiti gi asili mamit.
3 Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Gouru tung im ka dwe manyien ochakore, ma en ka dwe osetegno, e odiechiengʼ mar Nyasiwa mogen.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Ma en gima ochuno jo-Israel; chik ma Nyasach Jakobo nogolo.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Kane Nyasaye mirima omako gi jo-Misri, to ne ogure kaka chik ne Josef. Ne awinjo dwol ma ok angʼeyo kuma oaye kawacho kama:
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
“Ne agolo tingʼ mapek e gokgi, mi lwetgi nogony e tingʼo atonge.
7 Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Ne iluongo ka in e chandruok mi akonyi, ne adwoki gi ei boche polo, kendo ne atemi e tie pige mag Meriba. (Sela)
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me;
“Winjuru wach, yaye joga, to abiro siemou, abiro siemou ka uikoru mar winja, yaye Israel.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Kik ubed gi nyasaye ma wendo e dieru, kendo kik ukulru ne nyasaye ma ukia.
10 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
An Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, mane ogolou Misri. Ngʼamuru dhou malach mondo apongʼe.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me.
“To joga nodagi winjo dwonda kendo Israel nodagi timo kaka achikogi.
12 So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
Omiyo ne aweyogi nikech chunygi ne tek, kendo negiluwo yoregi giwegi.
13 O that my people had hearkened to me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
“Ka dine joga yie winja, ka dine Israel yie lu yorena,
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
mano kaka dine atieko wasikgi piyo piyo kendo dine agoyo joma kedo kodgi gi lweta!
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: and their time should have endured for ever.
Joma ochayo Jehova Nyasaye dine okulorene gi luoro, kendo kum margi osiko nyaka chiengʼ.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee.
To un dine apidhou gi ngano maber mogik, kendo dine aromou gi mor kich ma athodho e lwanda.”
