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.
DUEN tia amen inong iong pil, iduen ngen i kin inong iong komui o Kot.
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?”
Ngen i inong iong Kot, ong Kot ieias. Iad i pan lel wasa o, me i pan ariri silang en Kot.
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]?”
Pil en mas ai, iei kan ai manga ni ran o ni pong, pwe irail kin indang ia ran karos: Ia om Kot?
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.
Ma i madamadaua duen mepukat, i ap wudokila audepan mongiong i ong pein ngai, pwe i inong iong iang pokon o kokodalang tanpas en Kot, o i men iang pokon, me kin wiada a ran, pereperen o kapikapinga.
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.”
Ngen i, da me koe insensuedeki o sota moleileiki? Auiaui Kot! I pan purong kapinga i. Pwe a kotin sauasa kin ia silang i.
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.
Ai Kot, ngen i me insensued; i ap madamadaua duen komui nan sap en kailan Iordan o Ermonin, pon dol Misar.
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.
Sapwilim omui pil akan ngiringirsok, pil laud akan ngiringirsok; sapwilim omui iluk kan karos kadupal ia di.
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.
Ieowa kotin inaukidar a kalangan ni ran, a ni pong i kin kauli ong i, o i kapakap ong Kot en maur i.
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].
I kin indang Kot ai paip: Da me kom kotin likidmalie kin ia la? Da me i en weweideki ni insensued pweki ai imwintiti kelail ong ia?
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.
Likamata kokon ai kan mut pasanger, ni ai imwintiti lalaue ia. Pwe re kin indang ia ran karos: Ia om Kot?
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.”
Ngen i, da me koe insensuedeki o sota moleileiki? Auiaui Kot! Pwe i pan danke i, pwe i sauas pan mas ai o ai Kot.
