< Psalms 44 >

1 For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm. We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
MAING Kot, se ronger ki salong at, sam at oko kasokasoi ong kit er, me kom kotin wiadar ni ar ansau mas.
2 You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
Kom kotin pakiweier men liki kan ki lim omui, ap wilian ir di; kom kotin koko sang wei kan, ap id katotoe ir ala.
3 For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
Pwe re sota kaloedier sap o ki ar kodlas, o pa arail sota katepa ong ir, pwe pali maun omui o lim omui, o marain en silang omui; pweki kom kotin kupura irail er.
4 God, you are my King. Command victories for Jacob!
Pwe komui Kot ai Nanmarki, me inauki ong Iakop, en sauasa i.
5 Through you, we will push down our adversaries. Through your name, we will tread down those who rise up against us.
Komui, me se pan kawekila at imwintiti kan; ni mar omui me se pan tiakekidi me kin palian kit.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
Pwe i sota kin kaporoporeki ai kasik katieu, o ai kodlas sota kak dore ia la.
7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
Pwe komui me kin sauasa kit sang at imwintiti kan, o kom kin kanamenokala, me kailong kin kit.
8 In God we have made our boast all day long. We will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
Ran karos se pan kapinga Kot, o se pan danke ong mar omui kokolata. (Sela)
9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and do not go out with our armies.
Ari so, kom kotin likidmalie kin kit ala, pwe sen lisela, o komui sota iang at karis akan.
10 You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take plunder for themselves.
Kom kotin mueid ong at imwintiti, ren paki kit wei, o me kailong kin kit, kin kulia sang at kapwa.
11 You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
Kom kotin mueid ong ir, ren kawe kit ala dueta sip oko, o kom kotin kamueit kit pasang nan pung en men liki kan.
12 You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
Kom netikila sapwilim omui kan ni pwai sued, a komui ap sota kapwapwa kilar.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
Kom kin kotin wiai ong kit, sen kankaurur ren men imp at, o lalaue o sarodi ren me kapil kit pena.
14 You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Kom kotin wia kin kit karasepa eu ren men liki kan o aramas akan kin dueduälok kin kit.
15 All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
I kin saro nin ran karos o mas ai me dir en namenok,
16 at the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
Ni ai rongerong aramas morsued o lalaue, o ni ai kilekilang ai imwintiti o me kin akdepuk kan.
17 All this has come on us, yet we have not forgotten you. We have not been false to your covenant.
Mepukat karos lel dong kit er, ari so, se sota kak monokela komui, de wia dip ong sapwilim omui inau.
18 Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
Mongiong at sota pupwei sang komui, o se sota wuki wei sang al omui.
19 though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
A komui kawe kit alar ni wasan man sued, o kom kadupale kidi mot en mela.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,
Ma se monokela mar en at Kol, o pokada pa at ong amen kot,
21 will not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
Kot sota pan kotin diarada? Pwe a kotin mangi lol en mongiong at.
22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
Pwe kit kin kalokoloke kin komui ni ran karos, o kit rasong sip me pan kamela.
23 Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
Maing, kom kotida! Da me kom kotin saimokela? Kotin opada wasa, o der kasapoke kit ala kokolata!
24 Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?
Da me kom kotin karirila silang omui, o kotin maliela at luet o at kalokolok?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.
Pwe ngen it poridier ni pwel par; kaped it pas ong pwel.
26 Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.
Kom kotida, sauasa kit, o dore kit ala pweki omui kalangan.
