Psalms 7
1 Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
MAIN, i kin liki komui Ieowa, ai Kot. Kom kotin jauaja ia on ai imwintiti kan karoj, o kotin dore ia la,
2 If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
Pwe ren der dueta laien amen kol ia di o tapen ia pajan, pwe jota pil amen jaundor.
3 Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
Main, ai Kot, ma i wiadar mepukat, o ma pa i kat wiadar japun,
4 if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
O ma i depukki mejued en akai ar wiawia mau on ia, pwe I dorelar, me imwintiti on ia, ap jota karepa,
5 allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
A ma jo due, ai imwintiti en kaloke ia, o kol ia di, o tiakedi maur i nani pwel, o kawela mar ai. (Jela)
6 But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
Main, kom kotida ni omui onion o kotin palian makar en ai imwintiti kan, o kotin opadan ia, pwe re kotin inau kidar kapun,
7 Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
Pwe wei kan pan pokon don ir; o re kotin purodala pweki irail.
8 Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
leowa iei jaunkapun en wei kan. Main, kotin jauaja ia, duen ai pun o duen ai lelapok!
9 God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
Re kotin kadukiedi mejued en me doo jan Kot akan, ap kotin katenedi me pun kan. Pwe komui Kot pun, kin kotin kajaui monion o mudilik kan.
10 God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
Kot iei pere pa i, me kin kotin jauaja me melel ni monion arail.
11 You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
Kot jaunkapun pun amen, me kotin onionada ni ran karoj.
12 Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
Ma meamen jota pan wukila, a ap kotin ada japwilim a kodlaj o onopada kajik katieu o kainene won i,
13 You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
O kotin pwil poa kananan kajik katieu men kamela. A kotin kaonopada japwilim a kananan kajik katieu, pwe men karonala.
14 Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
Kilan, a lamelam me dir en jued, a lijenaneki men kaokaoe o pan naitikedi likam.
15 But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
A weiradar por eu o wiadar lolia, ap pein pupedi on lole, me a weiradar.
16 They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
A men kamela pan japale don pein mon a, o a dodok jued pan pupedi on pein a al en wei.
17 I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
I pan kapina leowa, pweki a pun, o i pan kauleki mar en leowa me lapalapia.
