Psalms 19
1 [When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
LANG pokon kin kasokasoi duen lingan en Kot o aude pan lang kin katitiki dodok en lim a kan.
2 Day after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
Ran eu kin kasokasoi ong eu ran o pong eu kin padaki ong eu pong.
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
Sota kaparok o sota lepen lokaia, ari so, ngil a kin peido.
4 But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
O a loua padak lel ong sap karos, o a kaparok lel imwin sappa. A kotin wiai ong katipin im pwal eu pan lang;
5 it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
O a kin pedoi sang nan a pera dueta ol kamod amen, o kin pereperen dueta ol kamod amen ni a tangwei pon al o.
6 The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
A dakada ni eu imwin lang ap tangalang imwin teio, o sota me kak rir sang mon karakar a.
7 The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become wise.
Kapung en Ieowa me unsok o kin kainsenemauiala ngen en aramas akan. Kadede en Ieowa me melel o kin kalolekongla me lolepon.
8 Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
Kusoned en Ieowa me pung o kin kaperenda mongiong en aramas. Kusoned en Ieowa me makelekel o kamarainiada mas en aramas.
9 It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
Lomwin Ieowa me min o kin duedueta. Masan en Ieowa kan me melel, o pung kaualap.
10 The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
Irail me kasampwal sang kold o kold lingan toto, o iau sang onik o onik kasampwal.
11 Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
Ir me pil kin katamanda sapwilim omui ladu, o me kin kapwai ir ada, ar kating me lapalap.
12 But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
Is me kak asa duen toto en a sapung? Kom kotin lapwada dip ai me rir akan.
13 Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
Pil perewei sang sapwilim omui ladu me aklapalap, pwe ren der kaloe ia di, i ap pan pungala, o pan makelekel sang dip lapalap kokolata.
14 O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
Kom kotin kupura kaparok en au ai o lokolokaia en mongiong i mo’mui, Ieowa ai paipalap o ai saundor.
