Psalms 42
1 Deer pant, desiring to drink water from a stream [when there is a drought] (OR, [when they are being pursued by hunters].) In the same way [SIM], God, I need you very much.
[Psalm lun Tulik natul Korah] Oana ke soko deer el kena sun soko infacl oyohu, Ouinge nga kena apkuran nu sum, O God.
2 I desire to have fellowship with [MET] you, the all-powerful God. [I wonder], “When will I be able to go [back to the temple in Israel] and worship in your presence again?”
Nga malukin kom, O God moul. Ngac nga fah ku in som ac alu ye motom?
3 Every day and every night I cry; [it is as though] the only thing I have to drink is my tears; and while I do that, my enemies are continually asking me, “Why does your god not [help you]?”
Nga tung ke len ac fong, Ac sroninmutuk na pa mwe mongo nak; Pacl nukewa mwet lokoalok luk elos siyuk sik, “Ku pia God lom an?”
4 I am very distressed [IDM] as I remember when I went with the crowd of people to the temple [in Jerusalem], leading them as we walked along; we were all shouting joyfully and singing to thank God [for what he had done]; we were a large group who were celebrating.
Insiuk asor ke nga ac esamak pacl meet ah, Ke nga ac wi un mwet fahsr nu in lohm sin God Ac kololos ke elos fahsr; Sie u na engan su on ac sasa ke elos kaksakin God.
5 So [I say to] myself, “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to help me], and again I will praise him, my God, the one who saves me.”
Efu ku nga arulana supwar? Efu ku nga arulana fohs? Nga ac fah filiya finsrak luk in God, Ac nga fah sifilpa kaksakunul, Mwet Lango luk
6 [But now, Yahweh], I am very discouraged [IDM], so I think about you, even from where the Jordan [River] gushes out from the bottom of Hermon [Mountain] and from Mizar Mountain.
ac God luk. Ngunik arulana toasr, Ke ma inge nga esamkomyak Sisken Infacl Jordan ac Fineol Hermon, Oayapa Fineol Mizar.
7 But here, the great sorrow that I feel is like water that you send down [MET]; [it is like] a waterfall that tumbles down and floods over me.
El supwama noa lulap nu fuk, Ac mwe keok toki fuk oana sronot lulap, Oana ngirngir lun kof putat.
8 Yahweh shows me each day that he faithfully loves me, and each night I sing to him and pray to him, the God who causes me to live.
Lela tuh LEUM GOD in akkalemye lungse kawil lal ke len, Tuh in oasr soko on yuruk ke fong Ac sie pre nu sin God lun moul luk.
9 I say to God, [who is like] an [overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET], “It seems that you have forgotten me. I (mourn/cry) constantly because my enemies act cruelly toward me” [RHQ].
Nga fahk nu sin God, mwet kasru luk, “Efu kom ku mulkinyula? Efu ku nga enenu in keok na Ke sulallal lun mwet lokoalok luk?”
10 They make fun of me constantly; they continually ask, “Why does your god not help you?” [RHQ] And when they insult me [like that], [it is like] wounds that I feel even in my bones.
Nga keoklana ke kas in akkoluk lalos, Ke elos nuna siyuk na sik kas se inge, “Pia God lom an?”
11 But [I think, ] “(Why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I will confidently expect God [to help me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.”
Efu ku nga arulana supwar? Efu ku nga arulana fohs? Nga ac filiya finsrak luk in God, Ac nga fah sifilpa kaksakunul, God luk, su langoeyu.
