1{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
1 Doonkoy jine bora se. I m'a doon da subo kaŋ ga ne: «Ma si halaci». Asaf baytu fo no, dooni mo no.
2When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
2 Ya Irikoy, iri ga saabu ni se, iri ga saabu, Zama ni maa ga maan. Borey goono ga ni dambara harey baaru dede.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah.
3 Ni ne: «Saaya kaŋ alwaato kaŋ ay jisi din to, Ay no ga ciiti da mate kaŋ ga saba.
4I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
4 Waati kaŋ ndunnya da nga ra gorokoy kulu ga jijiri, Ay no g'a bonjarey sinji. (Wa dangay)
5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
5 Ay ne foomantey se: ‹Wa si fooma.› Laalakoyey mo, ay ne i se: ‹Wa si boŋ jare.
6For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
6 Wa si araŋ hilley tunandi beene, Araŋ ma si salaŋ da gande-gaabay.› »
7For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.
7 Zama manti wayna funay, manti wayna kaŋay, Manti mo dandi kambe haray no beeray ga fun bo,
8For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.
8 Amma Irikoy no ga ti Ciitikwa. A ga boro fo kaynandi, a ma afo mo beerandi.
9But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.
9 Zama Rabbi kambe ra gonda gaasiya, Duvaŋo* kaŋ go a ra mo ga te kufu, A ga to da marga-marga, Irikoy ga soogu ka kaa a ra mo. A zambo mo, daahir boro laaley kulu kaŋ go ndunnya g'a zinji-zinji ka zu.
10And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
10 Amma ay wo, hal abada ay g'a baaro fe, Ay ma sifayaŋ baytu te Yakuba Irikoyo se.
11 A ga boro laaley hilley kulu pati, Amma adilantey hilley ga du darza.
