Psalms 121

1 [When we travel toward Jerusalem], I look up toward the hills [and I ask myself], “Who will help me?”

I SARADANG nana kan, wasa sauas pa i pan pwarado sang ia.

2 [And my answer is] that Yahweh is the one who helps me; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

Sauas pa i pan pwarado sang ren Ieowa, me kotin kapikadar lang o sappa.

3 He will not allow us to fall/stumble; God, who protects us, will not fall asleep.

A sota pan kotin mueid ong nä om, en krisedi; o me kin sinsila uk, sota kin saimokala.

4 The one who protects us Israeli people never gets sleepy, nor does he sleep [LIT].

Kilang, sile pan Israel sota kin saimok de saimok kalik.

5 Yahweh watches over us; he is like the shade [MET] [that protects us from the sun].

Ieowa iei sile pa om, Ieowa iei motan pa om pali maun.

6 [He will not allow] the sun to harm us during the day, and [he will not allow] the moon to harm us during the night.

Katipin sota pan dakar uk nin ran de maram ni pong.

7 Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner; he will keep us safe.

Ieowa pan kotin pera wei sang uk song en sued karos, a pan kotin sinsila ngen om.

8 He will protect us from the time that we leave [our houses in the morning] until we return [in the evening]; he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.

Ieowa pan kotin sinsila uk ni om pedoi o pedelong, sang met o kokolata.
