1 "Biuru mondo wadog ir Jehova Nyasaye.

Osekidhowa matindo tindo

to obiro changowa;

osehinyowa

to obiro tweyo adhondewa.

2 Bangʼ ndalo ariyo obiro duogo chunywa

to e odiechiengʼ mar adek obiro resowa,

mondo omi wadag kode.

3 Waluonguru Jehova Nyasaye;

wadhiuru nyime gi luongo nyinge.

Mana kaka chiengʼ wuok,

e kaka obiro wuok;

enobi irwa mana ka kodh chwiri,

mana ka koth mabiro bangʼ chwiri mamiyo lowo bedo mangʼich."

4 "Angʼo madatimni Efraim?

Angʼo ma datim kodi, in Juda?

Herani chalo gi ongʼwengʼo mar okinyi,

5 Emomiyo an kaachiel gi jonabi maga wangʼadou matindo tindo,

ne anegou gi weche mawuok e dhoga;

buche mane angʼadonu nobiro kuomo mapiyo mana ka mil polo.

6 Nimar adwaro ni ukech joweteu, to ok ni uchiwna misango,

kendo ngʼeyo Nyasaye ber moloyo misengini miwangʼo pep.

7 Mana kaka Adam, giseketho singruok mane atimo kodgi,

ne ok gibedo jo-adier koda e ndalono.

8 Gilead en dala machwo ma jo-mahundu odakie,

en dala mosechwerie remb ji.

9 Jodolo chalo mana gi jomecho

ma pondo ne ji e dir yo,

ka girito ngʼat makadho

mondo gima.

Gineko e yo madhi Shekem,

gitimo timbe mahundu makwodo wich.

10 Aseneno gima lich

e od Israel.

Kanyo Efraim osechiwore ne chode

kendo Israel osedwanyore.

11 "To un bende jo-Juda

kinde ma ingʼadonue bura osechopo.
