Psalms 4
1 God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
KOT kapun pa i, kom kotin mani ia ni ai likelikwir. Pwe kom kin kotin kamait ia la ni ai anjau apwal. Kom kotin maki on ia o mani ai kapakap.
2 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
Komail jaumaj akan! Arai da mar ai pan jujued? Arai da omail pok on me mal kot, o omail perenki likam? (Jela)
3 All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
Komail lolekonala, ap aja, me Ieowa kotin piladar japwilim a lelapok o. Ieowa kin kotin mani ia ni ai likelikwir on i.
4 When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
Ni omail makar, komail der wia dip. Komail madamadauaki monion omail ni omail wendi pon loj o ap auiaui. (Jela)
5 Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
Komail maironki mairon pun o liki Ieowa.
6 Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
Me toto kin inda: Ij me pan kajale on kitail me mau kan? A Ieowa, kom kotin kamaraine kin kit marain en jilan omui!
7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
Komui kotin kaperenda monion i laud jan anjaun arail wain o korn me toto.
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
I kin wonon o mamair ni popol; pwe komui ta Main, me kotin jauaj a ia da, pwe i en kak moleilei.
