Psalms 55
1 God, listen to my prayer, and do not turn away from me while I am pleading with you.
[Psalm lal David] Lohng pre luk, O God; Nikmet forla liki mwe siyuk luk!
2 Listen to me, and answer me, because I am overwhelmed by [all] my troubles.
Porongeyu ac topukyu, Tuh nga arulana totola ke fosrnga luk.
3 My enemies cause me to be terrified; wicked people oppress me. They cause me to have great troubles; they are angry with me, and they hate me.
Nga arulana sangeng ke kas in aksangeng lun mwet lokoalok luk; Nga keok ke mwet koluk uh akfosrngayeyu. Elos use mwe ongoiya nu fuk; Elos srungayu ac kasrkusrak sik.
4 I am terrified, and I am very much afraid that I will die.
Nga arulana sangeng, Ac mwe fosrnga lun misa toanyuwi.
5 I am very fearful and I tremble/shake, and I am completely terrified.
Nga arulana sangeng ac rarrar; Nga tuninfong na pwaye.
6 I said, “I wish that I had wings like a dove! If I had wings, I would fly away and find a place to rest.
Nga ke tuh in oasr posohksok keik oana wule. Nga lukun sohkla ac suk nien mongla.
7 I would fly far away and live in the desert.
Nga lukun sohkla nu yen loesla Ac oru nien muta luk yen mwesis.
8 I would quickly find a shelter from [my enemies] [who are like] [MET] a strong wind and rainstorm.”
Nga lukun sulaklak ac konauk nien wikla luk Liki eng upa ac paka.
9 Lord, confuse my enemies, and cause their plans to fail, because I see them acting violently and causing strife in the city [of Jerusalem].
O Leum, akfohsyauk sramsram lun mwet lokoalok luk! Nga liye mwet uh oru ma sulallal ac alein yohk in siti uh —
10 During [each] day and night they march around on top of its walls, committing crimes and causing trouble.
Raunela ke len ac fong. Ma koluk lulap ac mwe lokoalok oasr yen nukewa in siti sac.
11 They destroy [things] everywhere. They oppress and defraud [people] in the (marketplaces/public squares).
Oasr ma musalla in acn nukewa; Inkanek uh sessesla ke mwe akkeok ac ma kikiap.
12 If it were an enemy who was making fun of me, I could endure it. If it were someone who hates me, who despises me, I could hide from him.
Fin mwet lokoalok se luk pa aksruksrukyeyu, Nga ac ku in muteng; Fin mwet lainyu se pa tungak nu sik uh, Nga ac ku in wikla lukel.
13 But it is someone who is just like me, my companion, someone who was my friend [who is doing this to me].
Tuh pa kom pa oru — mwet na wiuk se, Mwet na nga etu se, ac kawuk na wowo luk.
14 We previously had many good talks together; we walked around together in God’s temple.
Kut arulana sukosok in sramsram nu sin sie sin sie Ac kut tukeni alu in Tempul.
15 I desire/hope that my enemies will die suddenly; while they are still young, cause them to go down to the place where the dead people are. They they think evil things. (Sheol h7585)
Finsrak tuh mwet lokoalok luk in misa meet liki pacl fal lalos; Finsrak elos in moulna som nu infulan misa! Tuh ma koluk oasr in lohm selos ac insialos. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I [will] ask Yahweh, [my] God, to help me, and he will save me.
A funu nga, nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru, Ac El ac fah moliyula.
17 [Each] morning and [each] noontime and [each] evening I tell him what I am concerned about, and I moan, and he hears my voice.
Ke lotutang, infulwen len, ac eku Pusren torkaskas ac sasao luk sowak nu yorol Ac El ac lohng pusrek.
18 I have [very] many enemies, but he will rescue me and bring me back safely from the battles that I fight.
El ac fah moliyula ac folokinyume Liki mweun su nga oasr kac Ke nga lain mwet lokoalok puspis luk.
19 God is the one who has ruled everything forever, and he will listen to me. He will cause my enemies to be [defeated and] disgraced, because they do not change their evil behavior and they do not revere God.
God, su nuna leum ke mutawauk me, El ac fah lohngyu ac kutangla mwet lokoalok luk, Mweyen elos srangesr ekulla ouiyen moul lalos, Ac elos tia sangeng sel.
20 My companion, [whom I mentioned previously], betrayed his friends and broke the agreement that he made with them.
Mwet se ma kasreyu meet, el forla lain mwet kawuk lal; Ac el kunausla wulela lal.
21 What he said was [easy to listen to, like] butter [is easy to swallow] [MET], but in his inner being he hated people; his words were [soothing] like [olive] oil, [but they hurt people like] sharp swords do [MET].
Meet, sramsram lal fwel oana kiris, Tusruktu yohk srunga insial; Kas lal musresre oana kaki in akmusra, Tusruktu fakfuk oana cutlass.
22 Put your troubles in Yahweh’s hands, and he will take care of you; he will never allow righteous [people] to experience disasters.
Filiya mwe fosrnga lom yurin LEUM GOD, Ac El ac fah loangekom; Tuh El tiana lela mwet suwoswos in kutangyukla.
23 God, you will cause murderers [MTY] and liars to die before they have lived half as long as they expect to live; but [as for me], I will trust in you.
A kom, O God, fah use mwet akmas ac mwet kikiap nu inkulyuk lalos Meet liki na elos sun infulwen moul lalos. A funu nga, nga ac lulalfongi kom na.
