Psalms 140
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:
MAIN leowa kom kotin dore ia la jan aramaj jued akan; pera jan ia aramaj morjued akan.
2 Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:
Me lamelame jued nan monion arail, o kareda pei nin ran karoj.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, —The poison of the asp, is under their lips. (Selah)
Irail kin ada lo arail dueta jerpent; poijen en jerpent mi pan lo arail.
4 Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, —who have devised, to thrust at my steps:
Pera wei jan ia pa en me doo jan Kot akan, o aramaj morjued akan, me kin madamadaua duen in pan kawe ia la.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. (Selah)
Me aklapalap akan kin rir injare ia, o uk pot, me re wiai on ai liman al o; o jon, en men kol ia di, me re wiadar.
6 I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.
A nai indan Ieowa: Komui ai Kot; kom kotin ereki ai nidinid, Main Ieowa!
7 O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.
Ieowa Kaun, iei jauaj pa i kelail; ni anjau en pei komui peraer mon ai.
8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. (Selah)
Main Ieowa, kom der kotin mueid on me doo jan Kot akan ar inon; o der kotin kapwaiada injen ar, pwe re de aklapalapala.
9 As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:
Me jued kot, me ai imwintiti kuonopadan ia en japal won pein irail.
10 May there be dropped on them live coals, —Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.
Kijiniai en moredi on po rail; A en kotin kaje irail di nan kijiniai, nan lapake, pwe ren jolur pitila.
11 As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, —As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
Me lo a jued, ender pwaida nan jap o, ol morjued, me jued en pakipaki i, lao a pan pupedi.
12 I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
I aja, me Ieowa pan kotin apapwali me luet akan, o jauaj pun en me jamama kan.
13 Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Melel, me pun kan pan kapina mar omui, me melel akan pan mimieta mon jilan ar.
