Psalms 28
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.
MAING, ai paipalap, i lao likwir wong komui, kom der kotin sapaimokid, pwe ma re pan sapaimokid, i pan dueta ir, me pan lokidokila nan por o.
2 Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.
Kom kotin mangi ngil en ai ngidingid, i lao likwir wong komui, i lao kapa wong pa i kat mol omui saraui.
3 Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.
Re der kotin kasapoke ia la iangaki me sapung kan, iangaki me wia sued, me kin lokaia kaselel ong men impa, ap lamelame sued nan mongiong arail.
4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
Kotin depuk ong ir duen ar dodok o duen ar tiak sued; kotiki ong ir duen dodok en pa arail; katingi ong ir duen ar wiawia.
5 Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!
Pwe re sota insenoki dodok en Ieowa de wiawia en lim a kan; i me a pan kotin kawe ir ala, a sota kauada.
6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
Kaping ong Ieowa, pwe a kotin erekier ngil en ai ngidingid.
7 Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.
Ieowa kel pa i o pere pa i, mongiong i kin liki i, o sauas pa i mia. Mongiong i liki i o i pan danke i ki ai kaul.
8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
Ieowa kele parail; i me manaman ong sauasa sapwilim a me keidier.
9 Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.
Kotin sauasa sapwilim omui aramas akan o kotin kamauiala sapwilim omui soso, o kotin kamanga ir o apwali irail ada kokolata!
