Psalms 141
1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
[Psalm lal David] Nga pang nu sum, LEUM GOD. Kasreyu inge! Lipsreyu ke nga pang nu sum.
2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
Eis pre luk in oana mwe kisa keng, Ac ke nga sralak pouk, eis in oana mwe kisa in eku.
3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
LEUM GOD, filiya sie mwe karinginyen oalik, Ac mwe taran srungul lun ngoasrok.
4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
Ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia lungse oru ma koluk, Ac in tia wi mwet koluk ke ma elos oru. Lela nga in tiana ipeis ke kufwa lalos.
5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
Sie mwet wo el ku in kaiyu ac aksuwosyeyu ke kulang lal, Tusruktu nga fah tia lela mwet koluk in akfulatyeyu, Mweyen nga pre in lain orekma koluk lalos pacl e nukewa.
6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
Ke mwet kol lalos sisyukla liki fulu in eot uh, Na mwet uh ac fah etu lah kas luk pwaye.
7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Oana sak su lipikyuki nu ke ip srisrik, Ouinge sri kaclos ac fah oan oaclik sisken kulyuk uh. (Sheol h7585)
8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
Tusruktu nga nuna lulalfongi kom, LEUM GOD Kulana. Nga suk molela lom; Nikmet lela nga in misa!
9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
Moliyula liki mwe kwasrip su elos orala in sruokyu, Ac liki sruhf lun mwet orekma koluk.
10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
Lela tuh mwet koluk in putatyang nu in sruhf lalos sifacna A nga fahla na siska, ac tia sruoh.
