1{[A Psalm] of David.} Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:
1 Dawda wane no. Ya Rabbi, ma gurjay da borey kaŋ yaŋ ga gurjay da ay. Ma wongu nda ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga wongu ay.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;
2 Ma sambu koray kayna nda koray beeri, Ma te garbas ay gaakasinay sabbay se,
3And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
3 Ma yaaji da allag sambu beene, K'ay fundo kankamkoy fonda kosaray. Ma ne ay fundo se: «Ay no ga ti ni faaba.»
4Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:
4 Ngey kaŋ goono g'ay fundo ceeci ma kayna haŋ, I ma haaw mo. Borey kaŋ yaŋ g'ay ceeci hasaraw se mo ma bare, I boŋ ma haw.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;
5 I ma ciya sanda du kaŋ go haw jine, Rabbi malayka goono g'i gaaray.
6Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.
6 I fonda ma te kubay, a ma te tansi mo, Rabbi malayka goono g'i gaarayyaŋo kankamandi.
7For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul.
7 Zama i na ngey asuuta tugu guusu ra ay se sabaabu kulu si, I na guusu fansi ay fundo se sabaabu kulu si.
8Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.
8 Halaciyaŋ ma kaŋ i boŋ jirsiyaŋ ra. Asuuta kaŋ i tugu din m'i cey di. Halaciyaŋo kaŋ i soola din, i ma kaŋ a ra.
9And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.
9 Ay fundo mo ga farhã Rabbi ra, A ga farhã gumo a faaba ra.
10All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!
10 Ay biriyey kulu ga ne: «Ya Rabbi, may no ga hima nin kaŋ ga taabante faaba boro kaŋ bis'a gaabi kambe ra?» Oho, taabante da laamikoy, A g'i faaba ngey komkoy kambe ra.
11Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
11 Ay zaari sambukoy tun ka tangari seeda te. I goono g'ay hã da haŋ kaŋ ay si bay.
12They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of my soul.
12 I goono ga laala bana ay se booriyaŋ nangu ra, K'ay fundo hasara.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:
13 Amma ay wo, waati kaŋ i goono ga zaŋay, Ay bankaarayey ya zaara-zaarayaŋ no. Ay n'ay fundo kaynandi nda mehaw, Ay soobay ka adduwa te mo ay bina ra.
14I behaved myself as though [he had been] a friend, a brother to me; I bowed down in sadness, as one that mourneth [for] a mother.
14 Alhaalo kaŋ ay cabe, sanda day ay coro no, Wala mo ay nya-ize. Ay sooli, ay goono ga bu hẽeni te, Sanda boro kaŋ goono ga nga nya bu baray te.
15But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
15 Amma ngey wo, waati kaŋ ay simbar, Kal i soobay ka farhã, i margu mo. Karkoy kulu margu ay gaa, ay sinda baaru mo. I soobay k'ay tooru-tooru, i mana naŋ.
16With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.
16 Sanda borey kaŋ yaŋ si Irikoy gana, Kaŋ ga hahaaray ngey batey ra, Yaadin cine no i na ngey hinjey kaama ay gaa.
17Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.
17 Ya ay Koyo, waatifo no ni ga gunayaŋ hinne naŋ? M'ay fundo faaba ka kaa i halacandiyaŋo ra! M'ay fundi follonka mo faaba muusu beerey gaa!
18I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.
18 Ay ga ni saabu marga bambata ra, Ay ga ni sifa mo jama gaabikooni ra.
19Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.
19 Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga wangu ay yaamo-yaamo ma si farhã ay boŋ. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga konna ay sabaabu kulu si ma si du ka baa mo kar.
20For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.
20 Zama i mana baani sanni te bo, Amma i goono ga zamba sanniyaŋ soola ka dake bine-baani-koyey boŋ laabo ra.
21And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen [it].
21 Daahir i na ngey meyey feeri gumo. I ne: «Ahãa, ahãa, iri moy di a!»
22Thou hast seen [it], Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
22 Ya Rabbi, ni di woodin. Ma si dangay. Ya ay Koyo, ma si mooru ay.
23Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!
23 Ya ay Irikoyo, ay Koy Beero, ma tun ka kay, Ma mo hay ay cimo d'ay sanno gaa.
24Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.
24 Ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, Ma ciiti ay se ni adilitara boŋ. I ma si du ka farhã ay boŋ.
25Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
25 I ma si ne ngey biney ra: «Ahãa, yaawo no iri ga ba!» I ma si ne: «Iri n'a gon sukutum.»
26Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
26 Ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga farhã d'ay hasarawo ma haaw, I ma butugu care banda. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey boŋ beerandi ay boŋ, Haawi nda kayna m'i daabu.
27Let them exult and rejoice that delight in my righteousness; and let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant.
27 Amma borey kaŋ yaŋ ga maa ay cimo kaani ma cilili bine kaani sabbay se, i ma farhã mo. Duumi i ma soobay ka ne: «Rabbi ma beeri, Nga kaŋ ga maa nga tamo albarka kaani.»
28And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise, all the day.
28 Ay deena mo ga ni adilitara sanni te. Zaari me-a-me a ga ni sifa mo.
