< Psalms 52 >

1 You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
KOE ol weit, da me koe suaikeki me sued, pwe kalangan en Ieowa kin duedueta ni ran karos.
2 All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].
Lo om inong iong me sued, o kin rasong naip kong pot, ni a wia likam.
3 You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
Koe kin mauki lokaia sued sang me mau, o lokaia likam sang me pung. (Sela)
4 You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!
Koe kin men lokaiaki me sued lo om likam.
5 But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.
I me Kot pil pan kawe uk ala, o lepuk uk pasang, o waik uk sang nan im om, o koko uk sang nan sap en me maur akan. (Sela)
6 When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,
A me pung kan pan kilang o masapwekada, o re pan kaurureki i:
7 “Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
Kilang, iei ol o, me sota kaporoporeki Ieowa, pwe a keleki a dipisou toto o a kelail ong a wiada me sued.
8 But I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
A ngai dueta tuka oliwe pot nan tanpas en Kot, i kaporoporeki kalangan en Kot kokolata.
9 God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
I pan kapinga komui kokolata, pwe kom kak kotin wiada; i pan kapinga mar omui, pwe a lingan ren sapwilim omui lelapok kan.
