Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
MAING Kot, kom kotin kase kit alar, o kamueit kit pasanger ni omui ongiong, kom kotin pur ong kamait kit ala.
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Kom kotin kamokitadar sap o, o kawelar i, kom kotin kamauiala wasa ola kan, pwe a kin mokimokid.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Pwe kom kotiki onger sapwilim omui kan katoutou parail. Kom kotiki ong kit er wain men kapweipwei kit alar.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
A kilel eu, me kom kotiki ong irail er, me masak komui, i me irail kauadar, ap kelail kidar. (Sela)
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Pwe kompoke pamui kan en saladokala; kom kotin sauasa ki pali maun ar o kotin ereki kit.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Kot kotin masanier nan sapwilim a mol saraui, i me i peren kida; i pan nek pasang Sikem o sosong sap Sukot.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Kilead o Manase iei sap we; ngai kin kaunda Epraim; a Iuda iei ai sokon;
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moap iei ai dal en dudu; i kin tiakedi Edom; Pilista kin ngisingis ong ia.
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
Is me pan kalua ia nan kanim tengeteng eu? Is me pan iang ia lel Edom?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Kaidin komui ai Kot? Komui me kase kit alar o sota iang at karis akan.
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Kom kotin sauasa kit ni at apwal akan, pwe en aramas ar sauase sota katepa.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Iangaki at Kot kit pan kapwaiada dodok apwal akan. A pan kotin tiakedi at imwintiti kan.
