< Psalms 141 >
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.
MAING Ieowa, i kin likwir wong komui, kom kotin madang dong ia; kom kotin ereki ngil ai, ni ai pan likwir wong komui.
2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Kom kotin kasampwaleki ai kapakap dueta mairong isis; o pokadan pa i kat dueta mairong eu ni sautik.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Maing Ieowa, kom kotin sinsila au ai, o pera kil en au ai.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.
O der kotin kainong ong me sued kot mongiong i, pwe i ender iang me doo sang Kot akan wiada me sued, o i ender iang ir kangkang, me re kin iauki.
5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Me pung amen en kame ia ni a kadek, o kapung ia, pwe iei me pan mau ong ia dueta le ong mong ai, mepukat i sota pan kang, o i kin kapakap ansau karos, pwe ren der wiai ong ia me sued.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
Kalua parail en pisikendi sang pon paip; irail ap pan duki ong ai padak o asa, me ir me mau.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol )
Duen amen pan wera pasang sap, iduen ti’t akan, me lokidokila ni kailan wasan mela. (Sheol )
8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
Ari so, mas ai kin ariri komui, Maing ai Kot, i liki komui, kom der kotin kasapokela maur i.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
Pera wei sang ia insar, me re kaonop ong ia, o song en men kol ia di ren me morsued akan.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Me doo sang Kot akan en pein lodi ong arail insar, a ngai en dauli.
