Psalms 58
1 When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
IADUEN komail lotong, pwe komail sota men lokaia me pung, o komail sota men kapung nin tiak inen, komail aramas akan?
2 No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
Melel, komail kin wia me sapung nan mongiong o, o nan sap o komail kin kelail ong wiada me sued.
3 Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
Me doo sang Kot akan me sapung sang pon kapan in ar akan; me likam kan kin sansalong sili sang nan kaped en in ar akan.
4 God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
Ar lingarangar rasong lingarangar en serpent amen, rasong serpent salongepon, me penala salong a,
5 As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
Pwen der rong ngil en saunwun ani o kati ani men, me kadek wunani.
6 God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
Maing Kot, kom kotin katip pasang ngi nan au arail; Maing Ieowa, kom kotin kawela ngi en laien pulepul akan.
7 Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
Kom kotin kawe ir ala dueta pil me kin pwilipwili wei. Ma a kaonopada a kanangan kasik katieu, re kin tip pasang.
8 Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
Re pan soredi dueta kamadel amen kin mong pena; re sota pan kilang katipin dueta seri amen, me sota dar pungi.
9 Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
Mon omail ainpot pan pam tui, a pan kotin sipet wei ni a ongiong.
10 Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
Me pung o pan peren kida a lao kilang depuk ong ir, o a pan widen nä a nan ntan me doo sang Kot o.
11 [Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
Aramas akan ap pan inda: Me pung kan pan tungole kating; pwe Kot eta saunkadeik nin sappa.
