Psalms 57
1 God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
MAIN Kot, kom kotin maki on ia, maki on ia! Pwe nen i kin kaporoporeki komui, o pan mot en lim omui i wajan ai maur, lao anjau apwal daulier.
2 God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
I likwir on Kot, me lapalapia, on Kot, me kotin kaimwijokala ai kankaneraner.
3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
A kotin poronedo jan nanlan jauaj pa i on me kanamenok ia, o me kin nirinir on ia. Kot pan kotin kadarado a kalanan o melel.
4 [Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
Nen i mi nan pun en laien akan, aramaj rajon umpul en kijiniai; ni arail rajon katieu o kananan kajik katieu, o lo arail rajon kodlaj kon o.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
Main Kot, kom kotida ileila jan lan, o wau omui nan jappa karoj.
6 [It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
Irail injarai ia nan al ai kan; re kin katoutoui nen i; re weirada mo i por eu, ap pein pupedi on lole.
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Monion i injenemaular, Main Kot, nen i onoper on kaul o kapin.
8 I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
Nen i pirida! Kaul o arp pirida! I pan pirida nin joran.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Ieowa, i men danke on komui nan wei kan; i pan kauli on komui nan pun en aramaj akan.
10 because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
Pwe omui kalanan me laud dueta nanlan, o omui melel dueta tapok kan.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Main Kot, kom kotida ileila jan lan, o wau omui linan nan jappa karoj.
