Psalms 74
1 God, why have you abandoned/rejected us? Will you keep rejecting us forever [RHQ]? Why are you angry with us, since we are like sheep in your pasture [and you are like our shepherd]? [MET, RHQ]
MAING Kot, da me kom kotin kase kin kit ala, o da me re ongiongiki sapwilim omui sip akan?
2 Do not forget your people whom you chose long ago, the people whom you freed [from being slaves in Egypt] and caused to become your tribe. Do not forget Jerusalem, which was (your home/where you dwelt) [on this earth].
Kom kotin kupura sapwilim omui momodisou, me kom kotin pwaindar mas o, o me komui dorelar, pwen wiala sapwilim omui, kotin kupura dol Sion, wasa me kom kotikot ia.
3 Walk along [and see] where everything has been totally ruined; our enemies have destroyed everything in the sacred temple.
Kom koti dong wasa me liseliping ansau warai; imwintiti me kawelar meakaros nan im saraui.
4 Your enemies shouted triumphantly in this sacred place; they erected their banners [to show they had defeated us].
Me palian komui, kin weriwer nan tanpas omui o pwilikidi arail dikedik en ani mal akan lole.
5 They cut down all the [engraved objects in the temple] like woodsmen cut down trees.
Irail pwaradar dueta ir, me wia palapal nan wel.
6 Then they smashed all the carved wood with their axes and hammers.
Re kin kawela did kaselel akan ki sile laud o tikitik.
7 [Then] they burned your temple to the ground; they caused that place where you were worshiped to be unfit for people to worship in.
Irail karongala tanpas omui; irail kasaminela o tiakedi wasa me mar omui kotikot ia.
8 They said to themselves, “We will destroy the Israelis completely,” and they [also] burned down all the other places where we gathered to worship God.
Irail kin inda nan mongiong arail: Na, kitail pan kawela! Irail karongalar wasan kaudok karos nan sap o.
9 All our sacred symbols (OR, miracles) are gone; there are no prophets now/any more, and no one knows how long [this situation will continue].
Solar manaman akai sansal ong kitail, o solar saukop amen mia, o sota amen re atail me pan asa imwilan mepukat.
10 God, how long will our enemies make fun of you [RHQ]? Will they insult you [MTY] forever [RHQ]?
O Maing Kot, arai da me morsued o pan lalaue, o imwintiti o pan mamaleki mar omui?
11 Why do you refuse to help [MTY, RHQ] us? Why do you keep your hand inside your cloak [instead of using it to destroy our enemies] [RHQ]?
Da me komui kotiki wei sang lim omui? Kotikida pali maun omui o kaimwisokala.
12 God, you have been our king [all the time] since we came out of Egypt [HYP], and you have enabled us to defeat [our enemies] in the land [of Israel].
Pwe Kot ai Nanmarki sang mas o. I me sauas pan meakaros, me kin wiaui nin sappa.
13 By your power you caused the [Red] Sea to divide; [it was as though] you smashed the heads of the [rulers of Egypt who were like] huge sea dragons [MET].
Kom kotin kamueit pasanger madau ki omui manaman, o kom kotin kawelar mongan drake nan pil.
14 [It was as though] you crushed the head of the king of Egypt [MET] and gave his body to the animals in the desert to eat.
Kom kotin kawelar mongan walros, ap kotiki ong aramas nan sap tan, pwen kangala.
15 You caused springs and streams to flow, and you [also] dried up rivers that had never dried up previously.
Komui kotin kapwaredar parer o pilap akan, o pilap kalaimun akan me kom kotin kangalangaladi.
16 You created the days and the nights, and you put the sun and the moon in their places.
Ran o pong me sapwilim omui; komui kotin wiadar saunipong o katipin.
17 You determined where the oceans end and the land begins, and you created the summer/hot season and the winter/cold season.
Komui wiadar irair en sap akan; komui me kin wia ansaun karakar o kapou.
18 Yahweh, do not forget that your enemies laugh at you, and that it is foolish people who despise you [MTY].
Kom kotin kupura mepukat: Imwintiti o lalaue komui Maing, o aramas pweipwei kan mamaleki mar omui.
19 Do not let your helpless people [MET] fall into the hands of their cruel enemies; do not forget your suffering/persecuted people.
Kom der kotiki ong man laualo ngen en sapwilim omui muroi, o kom der likidmaliela pwin en sapwilim omui luet akan.
20 Do not forget the agreement that you made with us; remember that there are violent people in every dark place on the earth.
Kom kotin tamanda inau o, pwe sap olar wasa karos o im akan pual pasanger.
21 Do not allow your oppressed people to be disgraced; help those poor and needy people in order that they will [again] praise you [MTY].
Re der kotin mueid ong me luet o, en namenok purela, me samama o luet akan en kapinga mar omui.
22 God, arise and defend yourself [by defending your people]! Do not forget that foolish people laugh at you (all day long/continually)!
Maing Kot, kom kotida o kotin kaimwisokala sapwilim omui dodok; kom kotin tamanda kankaurur, me kin wiaui ong komui sang ren me pweipwei kan.
23 Do not forget that your enemies shout angrily [at you]; the uproar that they make [while they oppose you] never stops.
Kom kotin der maliela weriwer en sapwilim omui imwintiti, morongorong en me palian komui kan, me kin lalaudalar ansau karos.
