Psalms 17
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
Hina Gode! Na sia: be goe nabima. Na moloidafa fofada: su ba: ma: ne Dima edegesa. Na da Dia na fidima: ne Dima diginiwane wele sia: sa. Dia nabima. Na da ogogole hame sia: ne gadosa.
2 You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
Dia da na moloidafa hou dawa: beba: le, Dia da na fidima: ne fofada: mu.
3 You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
Dia na dogo dawa: Di da gasi ganodini nama misini, na hou huluane abodele ba: su. Di da na hou amo ganodini, wadela: i hanai hou hamedafa ba: i.
4 I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
Eno dunu da wadela: i sia: bagade sia: sa. Be na lafiga agoai hame sia: sa. Na da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i amo fa: no bobogei. Amola nimi bagade hou amoma hame fa: no bobogei.
5 I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
Na da eso huluane Dia logodili ahoasu amola na da afuda: le hamedafa asi.
6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
Hina Gode! Na Dima sia: ne gadosu amo da Dia na sia: ne gadobe bu alofele iaha. Amaiba: le, nama ba: leguda: le, na sia nabima.
7 Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
Dia asigidafa hou amo nama olelema amola na gaga: ma. Na da Di guga esalea, na da na ha lai ilima gaga: i dagoi ba: sa.
8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
Di da Dia si amoma gaga: su hou amo defele, na gaga: ma. Wadela: i hamosu dunu da nama doagala: sa: besa: le, Dia ogelebaha na wamolegema. Nimi bagade ha lai dunu da na guba: le sisiga: sa. Ilia da asigi hou hame dawa: amola ilia da gasa fili sia: daha.
9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
10 They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
11 They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
Ilia da na sisiga: le disi. Ilia da na hiougia gudumusa: logo hogoi helesa.
12 They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
Ilia da soge laione wa: me agoai, na desega aligili medole manusa: amola dodosa: ne manusa: oulela.
13 Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
Hina Gode misa! Na ha lai ilima gegene sefasima. Amola, ilima hasalasima. Dia gobihei bagade amoga gegebeba: le, na gaga: ma.
14 Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da osobo bagadega esalea, ilia da ilia hanai liligi huluane gagusa. Ilia da nama ha laiba: le, Di na gaga: ma. Dia da se iasu bagade ilima ima: ne, gagadole ilegei dagoi. Amo se iasu da ilima ianu, ili baligili amola ilia mano amola ilia mano ilia mano amo defele ilima se iasu ima: ne ba: mu da defea.
15 Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
Be na da wadela: le hame hamoiba: le, na da Di ba: mu. Amola, na da nedigisia, Di guga esalebeba: le, na da hahawane bagade ba: mu.
