Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
[Psalm lal David] Nga tuku nu yurum, LEUM GOD, in wikla yurum; Tia lela in kutangyukla nga. Kom sie God suwoswos; Nga pre nu sum tuh kom in moliyula!
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
Lohngyu, ac moliyula inge! Kom in eot ku luk, yen nga in wikla we, Sie pot ku in loangeyu.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Kom nien wikla luk ac mwe loango luk; Pwenyu ac kolyu in oana wulela lom.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Karinginyu liki mwe kwasrip akoeyukla nu sik; Lisringyuyak liki mwe ongoiya.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
Nga sifacna eisyuwot nu inpoum. Kom fah moliyula, LEUM GOD, Tuh kom sie God oaru.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Kom srungalos su alu nu sin god kikiap, A nga lulalfongi in kom.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Nga fah engan ac kaksak Ke sripen lungse kawil lom. Kom liye luman keok luk, Ac kom etu mwe ongoiya nu sik.
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
Kom tia lela tuh mwet lokoalok luk in sruokyuwi; Kom ase sukosok nu sik in fahsr nu yen nga lungse fahsr nu we.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
LEUM GOD, pakomutuk, Tuh nga muta in ongoiya; Mutuk fafwak ke tung luk; Nga arulana totola.
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Nga foroti ke asor, Ac tung luk akfototoyela moul luk. Nga munasla ke sripen mwe akfohs puspis nu sik; Finne sri keik uh munasla pac.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
Mwet lokoalok luk nukewa, ac yokna mwet tulan luk, Elos orek angonkas nu sik; Elos su eteyu elos sangeng sik; Ke elos liyeyu inkanek uh, elos kaing.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
Mwet nukewa elos mulkinyula, oana nga in misa tari. Nga oana sie ma sisila.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Nga lohng ke mwet lokoalok luk elos mahma; Mwe aksangeng rauniyula. Elos orek pwapa in lainyu, Ac suk in uniyuwi.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
Tusruktu lulalfongi luk uh oasr in kom, LEUM GOD; Kom God luk.
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
Moul luk nufon oan inpoum; Moliyula liki poun mwet lokoalok luk, Liki elos su akkeokyeyu.
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Ngetnget in kulang nu sin mwet kulansap lom; Moliyula ke lungse kawil lom.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Nga pang nu sum, LEUM GOD, Tia lela tuh nga in akmwekinyeyuk. Lela tuh mwet koluk in akmwekinyeyuk; Lela tuh elos in mislana som nu in facl sin mwet misa. (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Kaliya oalin mwet kikiap — Elos su filang ac inse fulat, Su kaskas in akkolukye mwet suwoswos.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
Fuka yokiyen ma wo su kom elosak Nu selos su sunakin kom! Mwet nukewa etu lupan wo kom, Ac ouiyen karinginyuk ku lom nu selos su lulalfongi kom.
20 You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
Kom okanulosla yurum Liki pwapa koluk lun mwet; Ac in sie acn misla kom okanulosla Liki kas in akkoluk lun mwet lokoalok lalos.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Kaksakin LEUM GOD! Fuka lupan woiya ke El akkalemye lungse lal nu sik, Ke pacl mwet lokoalok luk rauniyula in mweuniyu!
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
Nga tuh sangeng ac nunku mu El sisyula liki ye mutal. Tusruktu El lohng pusren tung luk Ke nga pang nu sel in kasreyu.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
Lungse LEUM GOD, kowos mwet oaru lal nukewa, Tuh LEUM GOD El karinganang mwet oaru, A El arulana kaelos su filang.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Kowos in ku na, ac pulaik na, Kowos nukewa su oasr finsrak lowos in LEUM GOD.
