Psalms 40

1 I waited patiently for Yahweh [to help me], and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.

I AUIAUIER Ieowa, o a kotin iroir dong ia o kotin erekier ai likelikwir.

2 [When I had many troubles, it was as though] I was in a deep pit. But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit; he set my feet on a [solid] rock, and enabled me to walk (safely/without falling).

A kotin api ia da sang nan por sued o sang wasa lususur, o kotin kasonedier nä i kat pon paip eu, pwen kak alu mau;

3 He has given me a new song to sing, a song to praise him who is our God. Many people will find out [what he has done for me], and they will revere and trust him.

O a kotiki ong nan au ai kaul kap pot, pwen kapinga atail Kot; i me aramas toto pan udial ap lan Ieowa o kaporoporeki i.

4 Yahweh is pleased with those who trust him, those who do not trust in idols or join with those who worship those false gods.

Meid pai ol o me kaporoporeki Ieowa o sota waroki ong me aklapalap akan, de me weweid nin tiak likam!

5 O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things! No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us. If I tried to tell [others] about all those wonderful things, I would not be able to, because there would be too many for me to mention.

Maing ai Kot, meid kapuriamui sapwilim omui dodok kan o omui madamadaua, me komui kotin kasale ong kit. Sota me rasong komui. I men kaparok o kasokasoi duen, a re sota mau ong wadok.

6 Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the [only] things that delight you. You have enabled me to understand that very well [IDM]. [Animals] burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings are not all that you require [for sins to be forgiven].

Kom sota kotin kupura mairong man de mairong wan tuka kan; a kom kotin kawasak pasang salong ai; kom sota kotin mauki mairong isis de mairong en dip.

7 So I said [to you], “Yahweh, here I am, [to do] the things that have been written in the scroll [that contains your laws], things that you want me [to do].”

Ngai ap inda: Kilang, I kokodo; nan puk o me intingidier duen ngai.

8 O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I [keep] your laws within my inner being.

I men kapwaiada kupur omui, ai Kot; o sapwilim omui kapung o mi nan lol en mongiong i.

9 Whenever all [your people] are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.

I pan padaki ong momodisou laud duen me pung. Kilang, i sota pan nenenla, Maing kom kotin mangi.

10 And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together [to worship you in the temple], I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have (not concealed/openly told people) that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.

I sota okila omui pung nan mongiong i. I kin kapakaparok duen omui melel o maur, i sota kin okila omui kalangan o melel mon momodisou laud.

11 Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love [me] [PRS] and are loyal [to me], always protect me.

A komui Maing der kotiki sang ia omui kalangan, omui kalangan o melel en sinsila ia ansau karos.

12 I have many troubles; [so many that] I cannot count them. My sins are like a flood that has covered me [PRS, MET]; [they are so many that] I cannot find my way. The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head. I am very discouraged.

Pwe ai kalokolok kapil ia pena, o re sota mau ong wadok; dip ai katoutou ia, i ap solar kilang wasa; ir me toto sang pit en mong ai, ap solar angiang.

13 O Yahweh, please save me! Come quickly to help me!

Kom kotin kupura ia Maing, o kotin dore ia la; Maing kom kotin sauasa madang!

14 Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced and ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.

Me kin masamasan ia, pwen kame ia la, en namenokala o lisela; me men wia sued ong ia, en purewei o lisela.

15 I hope/desire that those who make fun of me will be dismayed when you defeat them.

Ir me kin likelikwirki due ai: “Io, io!” en masak o lisela.

16 But I hope that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly, “Yahweh is great!”

Karos me idok komui, en pereperen o popol. O me pok ong omui maur, ansau karos ren inda: Meid kapingan Ieowa!

17 As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; but [I know that] Yahweh has not forgotten me. O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me, so please come quickly [and help me!]

Pwe ngai samama o luet; a Ieowa kin kotin apwali ia. Komui sauas pa i o ai saundor; ai Kot, kom der kotin pwand!
