Psalms 55
1 God, listen to my prayer, and do not turn away from me while I am pleading with you.
MAING Kot, kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o kom der rirwei sang mon ai ngidingid.
2 Listen to me, and answer me, because I am overwhelmed by [all] my troubles.
Kom kotin mangi ia o kotin sapeng ia. Pwe i kin sansalong sili o sangesangki,
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.
Pwe ngil en ai imwintiti kin kainsensued ia o me doo sang Kot akan kin pakipaki ia; pwe re kin men wia sued ong ia, o re kin kailong kin ia.
4 I am terrified, and I am very much afraid that I will die.
Mongiong i masapwekada nan kaped i, o masak en mela lel ong ia.
5 I am very fearful and I tremble/shake, and I am completely terrified.
Masak o rerer lel dong ia; wapon kadupal ia di.
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.
I ap indada: O ma pa i kat dueta pa en muroi, pwen pirwei o mi ekis wasa.
7 I would fly far away and live in the desert.
I ap pan pirla wasa doo, o kaukauson sap tan. (Sela)
8 I would quickly find a shelter from [my enemies] [who are like] [MET] a strong wind and rainstorm.”
I pan madanglang wasan moleilei mon melimel o katau.
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].
Maing Ieowa, kom kotin kawuk pasang lo arail, o kotin kasore ir ala, pwe i kilekilang, me toun kanim o kin weit o akamai pena.
10 During [each] day and night they march around on top of its walls, committing crimes and causing trouble.
Mepukat kin wiaui ni ran o ni pong pon arail kel takai, o a dir en apwal o dodok kan.
11 They destroy [things] everywhere. They oppress and defraud [people] in the (marketplaces/public squares).
Me sued akan kin kaunda kanim o; o tou a kan sota kin muei sang likam o kotaue.
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.
Ma ai imwintiti pan wia sued ong ia, i sota pan insenoki, o ma me kailong kin ia pan pei ong ia, i pan ruki sang mo a.
13 But it is someone who is just like me, my companion, someone who was my friend [who is doing this to me].
A koe, ai warok, o kompole pa i o kis ai.
14 We previously had many good talks together; we walked around together in God’s temple.
Pwe kitail minimin penaer nan pung atail. Kitail wiaki eu nan pung en pokon nan tanpas en Kot.
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)
Mela en madang lel wong irail, pwe ren lokidokila nan wasan mela ni ar memaur; pwe im arail o lol arail me dir en morsued. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I [will] ask Yahweh, [my] God, to help me, and he will save me.
A i pan likwir ong Kot, o Ieowa pan kotin sauasa ia.
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.
Nin sautik, o ni mansang, o nin sauas i pan sangesang o weriwer, a ap pan kotin mangi ngil ai.
18 I have [very] many enemies, but he will rescue me and bring me back safely from the battles that I fight.
A pan kotin dorela ngen i sang ren me men palian ia, o pan kotin kamoleilei ia; pwe ir me toto, me u ong ia.
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.
Kot pan kotin ereki o kanamenok ir ala, pwe a kotikot eta sang tapin kaua. (Sela) Pwe re sota pan wukila, o re sota masak Kot.
20 My companion, [whom I mentioned previously], betrayed his friends and broke the agreement that he made with them.
A saikidi sapwilim a popol akan, o a kawela a inau.
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].
Au a me kitentel sang wi, ap lamelame duen mauin, a lokaia me muterok sang le, ap rasong kodlas kong, me onopa dang pei.
22 Put your troubles in Yahweh’s hands, and he will take care of you; he will never allow righteous [people] to experience disasters.
Mueid ong Ieowa, me koe inong iong, a pan apwali uk ada, a sota pan kotin mueid ong me pung kan en wukiwuk sili.
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.
Maing Kot, kom pan kotin kase ir long ong nan por lol en me sued o; me inong iong nta o likam kan sota pan lel ong apali en maur arail. A i pan kaporoporeki komui.
