Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:
MAING kom kotin ereki me pung o kotin mangi ai likwir o kotin kupura ai kapakap, me sota kin kowei sang nan kil en au likam eu.
2 From before thee, let my sentence come forth, Thine eyes, behold with equity.
Ai pung en pwili sang re omui, o kom kotin masan dong me pung.
3 Thou hast tested my heart, hast made inspection by night, hast refined me until thou couldst find nothing, Had I devised evil, my mouth should not have transgressed:
Kom kotin kasaui mongiong i ni pong, o komui kotin sosong ia, ap sota me kom kotin diar. I inaukidi, me i sota pan sapung ni ai lokaia.
4 As for the workings of men, By the word of thy lips, have, I, taken heed of the paths of the violent one.
I kin rukila pan masan en silang omui sang mon tiak en aramas o al en men kamela.
5 Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:
Ni ai alialu wei i sota muei sang nan lip en aluwilu omui, ai kakawei sota katia sang.
6 I, have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O GOD, —Incline thine ear unto me, Hear thou my speech:
I likwiri ong komui, Maing Kot, kom kotin mangi ia, o kapaike dong ia karong omui, o kotin ereki ai kapakap.
7 Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.
Kom kotin kasaleda omui kalangan kapuriamui, pwe pali maun omui sauas pan ir, me kin liki komui, ong ir me palian ir.
8 Guard me, as the pupil of the eye, —Under the shadow of thy wings, wilt thou hide me:
Sinsila ia dueta por en mas eu, o kotin pera kin ia mot en lim omui,
9 From the face of lawless ones who have treated me with violence, the foes of my soul, who come round against me:
Mon me sapung kan, me men kawe ia la, mon ai imwintiti, me kin kapil ia pena.
10 Their own fat [heart], have they shut up, —With their mouth, have they spoken proudly.
Re kin kapiridi mongiong arail; o sang nan au arail re kin lokaia aklapalap.
11 As for our own goings, now, have they surrounded us, —Their eyes, they fix, bending to the earth:
Wasa se kin kola ia, re kin kapil kit pena, mas arail kin masamasan, pwen kase kit di ong nan pwel.
12 His likeness, is as a lion, that longeth to rend, and as a young lion, lurking in secret places.
Dueta laien amen, me inong iong manga, o dueta laien pul amen, me wonon nan wasa rir.
13 Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one [who is] thy sword:
Maing, kom kotida, kaloedi o kanamenokla i; dorela maur i sang me sapung kan ki omui kodlas,
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, —They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: —
Sang ren aramas akan ki lim omui, Maing Ieowa, sang ren aramas en sappa wet, me pwais arail ni maur et; kom kotin kadire kila kaped arail omui dipiso kan, me nairail seri ol me toto, o nairail akan me pan sosoki luan arail kapwa.
15 I, in righteousness, shall behold thy face, Shall be satisfied when awakened by a vision of thee.
A i pan ariri silang omui ni ai pung, o i pan medikila mom omui ni ai pan pirida.
