Psalms 72
1 A psalm written by Solomon. O God, enable [me, ] the king [whom you appointed in Israel], to rule justly. Show/Teach me how to judge matters fairly
MAIN Kot, kom kotiki on nanmarki en kapun, o kotiki on nain nanmarki ol omui pun.
2 in order that I will judge your people fairly, that I will govern your oppressed people justly.
Pwen kaunda japwilim omui aramaj akan nin tiak pun, o dorela japwilim omui me luet akan.
3 I desire that [all over the country—even] on the hills and mountains [DOU]— people will live peacefully and righteously.
Nana kan en kare don aramaj akan popol o dol akan me pun.
4 Help [me], your king, to defend the poor people and to rescue needy people and to defeat those who oppress them.
A pan jauaja pun en me luet ren aramaj akan; a pan dorela nain me jamama kan, o pan tiakedi me morjued o.
5 I desire that your people will revere you as long as the moon shines, [forever].
Aramaj pan majak komui jan eu kainok lel eu kainok, arain katipin o jaunipon mia.
6 I desire that my rule will [be enjoyed by the people] [SIM] like [they enjoy] rain on growing crops, like [they enjoy] showers that fall on the land.
A pan kotidi dueta katau on mat kap, dueta katau me kawujokejok jap o.
7 I hope/desire that people will live righteously during the years that I rule, and that my people will live peacefully and prosperously as long as the moon shines.
Me pun o pan memaurata ni a ran akan, o muei mau pan pwaida, lao jaunipon jolar mia.
8 I hope/desire that the kings [of Israel] will rule [the people] in all the area from one sea [in the east] to another [in the west], and from the [Euphrates] River to the most remote/distant places on earth.
A pan kotin kaunda jan eu madau lel won eu, o jan pilap o lel ni imwin jappa.
9 I hope/desire that those who live in the desert will bow down before them, and that their enemies will throw themselves on the ground [in submission] to them.
Me kaukaujon nan jap tan, pan dairukedi on mo a, o a imwintiti kan pan kanala pwel par.
10 I hope/desire that the kings of Spain and of the islands [in the Mediterranean Sea] will bring (tribute money/taxes) to the kings [of Israel], and that the kings of Sheba [to the south] and of Seba [to the southwest] will bring them gifts.
Nanmarki en Tarjij o me mi nan dake kan, pan wa don i ar kijakij; nanmarki en Arapia o Jepa pan wia nopwei.
11 I hope/desire that all the [other] kings [in the world] will bow before the kings [of Israel], and that [people of] all nations will serve them.
Nanmarki kan karoj pan kaudoki on i, men liki kan karoj pan upa on i.
12 They will rescue poor people when they (cry out/plead) for help, and help those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
Pwe a pan dorela me jamama o, me kin weriwer, o me luet, me jota jauaj pa.
13 They will pity those who are weak and needy; he saves the people’s lives.
A pan kupura me tikitik o jamama, o pan kotin jauaja nen en me jamama kan.
14 Our kings will rescue the people from being oppressed and from being treated cruelly, [because] (their lives/they) [MTY] are precious to our kings.
A pan kotin dorela nen arail jan ren me morjued o weit, o nt’ arail me kajampwal mon jilan i.
15 I hope/desire that our kings will live a long time! I hope/desire that they will be given gold from Sheba. I desire that people will always pray for our kings and praise them all the time, [every day].
A pan ieiajata o kold jan wein Arapia pan wijik won i, o aramaj akan pan kapakapaki i anjau karoj, a pan kapaida ni anjau karoj.
16 I hope/desire that the fields will produce plenty of grain [everywhere, even] on the tops of the hills in the land where they rule, like the grain that grows [on the hills] in Lebanon. I hope/desire that the cities [in Israel] will be full of people like the fields are full of grass.
Wantuka kan pan pwaida mau nin jappa o pon nana kan, korn pan momand dueta Lipanon; o aramaj akan pan woj ada nan kanim akan dueta ra nan jap o.
17 I desire that the names of our kings will never be forgotten. I hope/desire that people will remember them as long as the sun shines. I hope/desire that people of all nations will ask (God to bless them/that they will be blessed by God) just like he has blessed the kings [of Israel].
Mar a pan duedueta kokolata; arain katipin a pan mimieta, iduen warai en mar a, o re pan kapaikida i; men liki kan karoj pan kapina i.
18 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship]; he is the only one who does wonderful things.
Kapin on Kot leowa, Kot en jrael, i eta, me kin wiada manaman akan.
19 Praise him forever! I desire that (his glory will fill the whole world/people all over the world may see that he is very great) [MTY]! Amen! May it be so!
O kapin on mar a linan kokolata, o jap karoj en direki a wau! Amen, amen!
20 That is the end of this group of prayers/songs written by David, the son of Jesse.
Iet imwilan kapakap en Dawid nan Ijai.
