Psalms 124

1 You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

ISRAEL en inda: Ma Ieowa sota pan kotin ieiang kit,

2 When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

Ma Ieowa sota pan kotin ieiang kit, ni en aramas akan ar palian kit,

3 we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

Re pan katala kit ala ni at memaur, ni ar lingarangar kin kit.

4 [They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

Pil akan ap pan kamop kit ala, pilap akan kadupwaledi ngen it.

5 and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

Pil akan itida melel lao kadupwaledi ngen it.

6 [But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

Kaping ong Ieowa, me sota mueid ong, ngi arail en ter kit pasang!

7 We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

Ngen it piti sang insar en sauninsar dueta manpir amen; insar ola, a kit pitila.

8 Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

Sauas pat iei mar en Ieowa, me kotin kapikadar lang o sappa.
