Gesami Hea:su 142

1 Na da Hina Godema fidima: ne wele sia: sa. Na Ema edegesa.

A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy.

2 Na da: i dione Ema egane iaha. Na se nabasu huluane Ema olelesa.

I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me.

3 Na da hamomu hamedei galea, yolesimusa: dawa: sea, E da na hamoma: ne dawa: olelesa. Logo na ahoabega, amogai wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia da na sa: ima: ne, wamo sanisisa.

When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me.

4 Na ba: le gasea, na fidisu amola gaga: su eno hame ba: sa. Dunu eno da na hame gagagulasa.

I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all.

5 Hina Gode! Na da Dia fidima: ne digini wele sia: sa. Hina Gode, Di da na Gaga: su Gode. Na fifi ahoanebe amo ganodini, na da Di fawane hanai gala.

I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life.

6 Na digini wele sia: be nabima! Bai na da baligili da: i dione heawini gala. Na ha lai dunu da na hasalasa: besa: le, Dia na gaga: ma. Ilia gasa da na gasa baligi dagoi.

Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me.

7 Na se nababeba: le, Dia na hohogilisima! Amasea, na da dunu ilia gilisisu ganodini, Dima nodomu. Bai Di da nama noga: idafa hou hamonana.

Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.”
