Psalms 143
1 A psalm of David. Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
MAIN Ieowa, kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o karon ar en mani ai nidinid; mani ia ni ar melel o ar pun.
2 Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
Kom der kotin kadeikada japwilim omui ladu, pwe mo’mui jota me maur men me pun.
3 The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
Pwe imwintiti kin majamajan ia, o kin tiakedi maur i; a kin kaje ia di waja rotorot dueta ir me melar maj o.
4 I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
Nen i kin luetala, o monion i ponla.
5 I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
I kin tamanda anjau maj akan, o madamadaua duen ar wriawia kan; i kin lamelame duen dodok en lim omui kan.
6 I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. (Selah)
I kin kapa won komui pa i kat, duen jap madekon eu, me kin inon ion katau, iduen nen i kin inon ion ir.
7 Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
Main Ieowa, kom kotin mani ia madan, nen i kin dupokala. Kom der kotin karirala jilan omui jan mo i, pwe i ender dueta ir, me pan lokidokila. pj. 28.1
8 Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
Nin joran omui kalanan en pwara don ia, pwe i kin liki komui; kom kotin kajale on ia al, me i en weid ia, pwe nen i kin auiaui komui.
9 Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
Main Ieowa, kom kotin doro ia la jan ai imwintiti kan, i kin kaporoporeki komui.
10 Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
Padaki on ia, pwe i en dodok duen kupur omui; pwe komui ni Kot; nen omui mau en kotin kalua ia pon al pun.
11 Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
Main Ieowa, kom kotin kamau ia da pweki mar omui; kalua ia jan nan waja apwal ni omui pun.
12 In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
O kotin kawela ai imwintit i kan, pweki omui kalanan; o kotin kamela karoj me kin katoutoui nen i, pwe nai japwilim omui ladu.
