Psalms 43

1 God, declare that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong). Defend me when (ungodly people/people who do not worship you) say things against me, rescue me from people who deceive and [say things about me that are] not true.

MAING Kot! Kotin sauasa ai pung, o kotin ieiang ia nan kapung ong aramas sued pukat, o kotin dore ia la sang aramas likam o morsued akan.

2 You are God, the one who protects me; (why have you abandoned me?/it seems that you have abandoned me!) [RHQ] It does not seem right that [RHQ] I am forced to mourn/cry constantly because my enemies are cruel to me.

Pwe komui Kot en ai kel; da me kom kotin kase kin ia la? Da me kom kotin mueid ong, i en weweidwei ni ai insensued, ma ai imwintiti kelail ong ia?

3 Shine your light on me and speak your truth to me; and let them guide me, and take me back to Zion, your sacred hill [at Jerusalem], and to [your temple], where you live.

Kom kotin kadarado omui marain o melel, pwe ira en kalua ia, o wa ia lang ni omui dol saraui o tanpas omui.

4 When you do that, I will go to your altar, to [worship you], my God, who causes me to be extremely joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I [worship], while I play my harp.

Pwe i en pedelong ong nan pei saraui en Kot, iei Kot me kaperen pa i o kapol pa i, o i en danke komui Kot ki arp, ai Kot.

5 So (why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to bless 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.
