< Psalms 64 >

1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
MAING Kot, kotin ereki ngil ai ni ai insensued. Kom kotin sinsila maur i mon ai imwintiti weit.
2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
Kom kotin karuki ia la sang mon pokon en me sued akan, mon pwin en me wia sapung kan.
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
Me kin ada lo’rail dueta kodlas pot, o me kaonopada ar kasik katieu, iei ar lokaia sued,
4 Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
Pwen rir kasikiedi me lelapok o; madang re pan kasikiedi i, o sota insenoki.
5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
Irail me weit ni ar tiak sued, o re kin inda, duen ar pan insar, o re kin inda: Is me pan kak kilang?
6 because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
Irail kin madamadaua duen me sued. Kitail kapwaiadar, karos kileledier. Mongiong en aramas me widing o meid koiok ni morsued.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
A Kot pan kotin kasik ir edi madang, pwen kamadak ong ir.
8 Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
Pein lo arail pan kapup ir edi, o karos, me pan kilang, pan kaurureki.
9 And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
O aramas karos pan masak o inda: Mepukat Kot kotin wiadar. O re pan asa, me i sapwilim a dodok.
10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
Me pung o pan perenki Ieowa, o pan liki i, o me lelapok kan karos pan pereperen.
