Psalms 22

1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?

A I Kot, ai Kot da me komui likidmalie kin ia la? I likelikwir, a jauaj pa i me doo.

2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.

Ai Kot, nin ran i kin likwir, a kom jota kin japen, o ni pon I pil jota kin nenenla.

3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].

Ari jo, komui ta me jaraui, komui me kotikot pan kaul en kapin en Ijrael.

4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.

Jam at akan liki komui, o ni ar liki, kom kotin jauaja irail er.

5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).

Irail likwir on komui, rap dorelar, re liki komui, rap jota namenokala.

6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.

A nai dueta kamatol amen, a kaidin ol amen, me aramaj akan kin lalaue o mamaleki.

7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,

Karoj me kilan ia, kin lalaue, ia, jara pajan au arail o tuetual mon arail:

8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”

A kin liki Ieowa, i en dorela i, o kamaioda i, pwe a kin kupura i.

9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).

Pwe komui kotin kaipwi ia jan nan kaped en in ai; komui ta, me i liki jan ni anjaun ai mi ni maramaran in ai.

10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.

Jan nan’ kaped en in ai i lokidokilan komui; komui ta ai Kot jan ni anjaun ai mi pon kopan in ai.

11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.

Kom der kotin doo jan ia, pwe anjaun kalokolok korendor, ap jolar jauaj pa i.

12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.

Kau ol kalaimun kan kapil ia penaer, o kau ol en Pajan kele ia pena.

13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].

Irail jara don ia dueta laien weriwer o laualo amen.

14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.

Nai wudokilar dueta pil, ai kokon akan karoj muei pajaner, o monion i pei pajaner nan kaped i dueta wi.

15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!

Ai kelail nalanal lar dueta diper en dal eu, o lo i pajadan pan natanat ai, o komui kin wia kin ia me melar amen.

16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.

Pwe kidi kan kapil ia pena, o pwin aramaj jued eu kele ia pena, irail kapore pajan pa i o na i kat.

17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.

I kak wadok kokon ai kan karoj; a irail kin kilekilan ap peren kida.

18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.

Re kin nek pajan ai likau kan nan pun arail, o re doropweki ai likau pup.

19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!

A komui Main ender doo jan ia! Ai kel madando o jauaja ia!

20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].

Dorela maur i jan kodlaj, pwe me ta ieu, o jan nan kel en kidi!

21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!

Jauaja ia jan nan au en laien, o dore ia la jan oje en man laualo!

22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].

I pan padaki on ri ai kan duen mar omui, o i pan kapina komui nan momodijou.

23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!

Kapina leowa komail me majak i, o kadaudok en Iakop en kalinanada i, o wan Ijrael karoj majak i.

24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.

Pwe a jota kotin mamaleki de juedeki me luet akan; o a jota kotin karirila jilan i jan irail; o ni a likwir on i, a kotin erekier.

25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.

I pan kapina komui nan momodijou kalaimun; i pan kapwaiada ai inau mon ir me lan i.

26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!

Me luet akan en mana o medila, o me idok leowa, pan kapina i; nen omail pan me maureta kokolata.

27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.

Ni imwin jap karoj re pan tamanda leowa, ap wuki on i, o di en men liki karoj pan kaudoki on i.

28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.

Pwe wein leowa, o a kotin kaunda men liki kan.

29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].

Me wi kan karoj nin jappa pan manamana o kelepuki; karoj, me pan wiala pwel o jota kak kolekol maur ar, pan poni i.

30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].

Kadaudok eu mia, me pan papa i, re pan padaki on jeri o jeri en jeri kan duen leowa.

31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”

Re pan pwarado o padaki on aramaj akan, me pan ipwidi mur duen a pun, o duen me a kotin wiadar.
