Psalms 109
1 God, you are the one whom I praise, [So please] answer [my prayer],
[Psalm lal David] Nga kaksakin kom, O God; nikmet mutana misla!
2 because wicked people slander me and tell [MTY] lies about me.
Mwet koluk ac mwet kikiap elos lainyu. Elos fahk kas kikiap keik,
3 They are constantly saying that they hate me, and they say evil things about me for no reason.
Ac elos fahk kas koluk keik — Elos lainyu ke wangin sripa.
4 I show them that I want to be their friends and I pray for them, but [instead of being kind to me], they say that I have done evil things.
Nga ne lungse elos ac pre kaclos A elos nu srungayu na.
5 In return for my doing good things for them and loving them, they do evil things to me and hate me.
Elos folokin orekma wo luk ke orekma koluk, Ac srungayu ke nga lungse elos.
6 They said, “Appoint a wicked [judge] who will judge him, and bring in one of his enemies who will stand up and accuse him.
Sulela sie mwet nununku sesuwos in nununku mwet lokoalok luk, Ac lela sie mwet su srungal in tafwel.
7 And cause that when the trial [ends], [the judge will] declare that he is guilty, and that [even] his prayer will be considered to be a sin.
Lela in nununkeyuk el ac koneyukyak tuh na oasr mwatal. Lela God Elan akilen lah kas in pre lal uh oana sie ma koluk.
8 [Then], cause that he will soon die and that someone else will have his job/work (OR, possessions).
Lela tuh in fototo moul lal; Ac lela siena mwet in eis acn sel!
9 Cause that his children will not have a father any more and that his wife will become a widow.
Lela tuh tulik natul in mukaimtal, Ac mutan kial in katinmas!
10 Cause that his children will be forced to leave the ruined homes that they have been living in and wander around begging for food.
Lela tulik natul in mwet takusrkusr ac mwet ngusr; Lela tuh elos in lillilyak liki mahnum in lohm elos muta loac.
11 Cause that all the people to whom he owed money will seize all his property; Cause that strangers will take away everything that he worked to acquire.
Lela tuh mwet el orek soemoul yoro in eisla ma lal nukewa, Ac lela tuh mwetsac in eis woiyen orekma lal.
12 Cause that [while he is still living] no one will be kind to him, and [after he dies], cause that no one will pity his children.
Lela in wangin mwet sifilpa kulang nu sel Ac in wangin pac mwet lohang nu sin tulik mukaimtal natul uh.
13 Cause that all his descendants will die and that his grandchildren will not remember who he [MTY] was.
Lela tuh fwil natul nukewa in misa, Ac in mulkinyukla inel ke fwil se tokol.
14 Yahweh, remember [and do not forgive] his ancestors for the evil things that they did, and do not [even] forgive the sins that his mother committed;
Lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan esam na ma koluk lun papa tumal Ac tia nunak munas nu ke ma koluk lun nina kial.
15 think about his sins continually, and cause that his name will be completely forgotten.
Lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan esam ma koluk lalos pacl e nukewa, A elos sifacna in iyuklana ac tiana sifil esamyuk!
16 He never was kind to anyone; he (persecuted/cause problems for) poor and needy [people] and even killed helpless [people].
Mweyen mwet se ingan el tiana nunkauk elan moul in kulang; El akkeokye ac uniya mwet sukasrup, Mwet enenu, ac mwet munas.
17 He liked to curse [people]. [So] cause those terrible things that he requested to happen to others to happen to him! He did not want to bless [others], [so] cause that no one will bless him!
El lungse selngawi mwet — lela in selngawiyuk el! El srunga in akinsewowoye mwet — lela in wangin mwet akinsewowoyal!
18 He cursed other people [as often/easily] as he put on his clothes [SIM]; cause that the terrible things that he wanted to happen to others will [happen to him and] enter his body like water [that he drinks] [SIM], like [olive] oil soaks into a person’s bones [when it is rubbed on his skin] [SIM].
El oru selnga uh fisrasr oana nuknukyang uh; Lela manol in toki ac arulana sroksroki ke selnga lal, Ac in tilyang nu in sri kacl oana mwe akmusra.
19 Cause that those terrible things will cling to him like his clothes and be around him like the belt that he wears every day.”
Lela selnga lal uh in nokmulla oana nuknuk Ac in losilya oana sie mwe lohl.
20 Yahweh, I want you to punish all my enemies that way, those who say evil things about me.
LEUM GOD, kalyei mwet lokoalok luk in lumah ingan — Elos su fahk kas koluk lainyu.
21 But Yahweh, my God, do good things for me in order that I may honor you; rescue me [from my enemies] because your faithfully loving me is good.
Tusruktu, O LEUM GOD Fulat luk, kasreyu oana ke kom wulela, Ac moliyula ke wolana lun lungse lom.
22 [I ask you to do this] because I am poor and needy and my inner being is (full of pain/very troubled/discouraged).
Tuh nga mwet sukasrup ac enenu; Mwe keok luk arulana fakisya insiuk,
23 [I think that] my time [to remain alive] is short, like an evening shadow [that will soon disappear] [SIM]. I will be blown away like a locust/grasshopper is blown [by the wind].
Ac nga apkuran in wanginla, oana lullul in eku — Ukukla nga, oana sie won srisrik.
24 My knees are weak because I have (fasted/abstained from eating food) very often, and my body has become very thin.
Intik munasla ke wanginla loalok, Ac nga sri na kolo.
25 The people who accuse me make fun of me; when they see me, they [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man].
Ke mwet elos liyeyu, elos isrunyu; Elos niwurwur sik ac usruk sifalos.
26 Yahweh, my God, help me! Because you faithfully love [me], rescue me!
O LEUM GOD luk, kasreyu; Moliyula ke lungse pwaye lom.
27 [When you save me], cause my enemies to know that you are the one who has done it!
Oru tuh mwet lokoalok luk in etu Lah kom pa moliyula uh.
28 They may curse me, but I ask that you bless me. Cause those who (persecute/cause problems for) me [to be defeated and as a result] to be disgraced/ashamed, and cause me to be glad/happy!
Sahp elos ac selngawiyu, tusruktu kom fah akinsewowoyeyu. Lela tuh elos su akkeokyeyu in kutangyukla, Ac lela tuh nga, su mwet kulansap lom, in engan.
29 Cause those who accuse me to be completely disgraced; cause [other people to see] that they are disgraced, as [easily as they see] the clothes that they wear [SIM]!
Lela mwet lokoalok luk in nukla ke mwekin; Lela elos in nokomang mwekin lalos oana sie nuknuk.
30 But I will thank Yahweh very greatly; I will praise him [when I am] among the crowd [of people who are worshiping him].
Nga fah sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD ke pusra lulap; Nga fah kaksakunul in walil uh,
31 [I will do that] because he defends [MTY] needy [people like me], and saves us from those who have decided/declared that we must be executed.
Mweyen El kasru el su sukasrup, Ac molella liki poun mwet su kena eisalang nu ke misa.
