Psalms 77

1 I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.

I KIN likwirki nil ai on Kot, on Kot, me i pan likwir on, o i me kotin mani ia.

2 Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.

Ni ai anjau apwal, i kin rapaki leowa; ni pon pa i kin u wei o jota kin dukedi, pwe wen I jota kak injenemaula.

3 When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.

Ni ai tamanda Kot, i kin ajenokida, ni ai madamadaua, nen i kin luetala.

4 [All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.

Kom kin kotin kolekol por en maj ai, pwe ira en papat; nai inen en luet, jolar itar on lokaia.

5 I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.

I kin lamelame duen ran en maj akan, duen par akan me jamalar.

6 I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:

Ni pon i kin lamelame duen ai kajan arp, o monion i kin madamadaua; nen i kin raparapaki.

7 “Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?

Kalelapok, leowa pan kotin onion kokolata, o a jota pan kotin maki on?

8 Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?

A kalanan rojelar melel, o a inau imwijokalar kokolata?

9 God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”

Kot kotin malielar a mak on kit, o a karirikilar onion a kalanan?

10 Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”

Ari jo, i indadar: Mepukat me mau on ia; pali maun en lim en me Lapalap pan kak dorela meakaroj.

11 [But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.

I me i kin taman kida wiawian leowa; melel i kin tamanda omui manaman akan jan maj o,

12 I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.

O madamadaua duen omui wiawia kan karoj, o kilekilan duen omui dodok.

13 God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!

Main Kot, al omui me pun. Ia waja amen Kot manaman mia dueta Kaun o?

14 You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.

Komui ta Kot me kin wia manaman akan. Komui kotin kajanjaledar omui manaman nan pun en wei kan.

15 By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.

Komui kotin dore kila japwilim omui kan omui manaman, iei jeri en Iakop o Iojep akan.

16 [It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.

Pil akan ariri komui, Main Kot, pil akan ariri komui, rap majapwekadar, o waja lol rererdar.

17 Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.

Tapok kalaimun akan kamoredier pil, tapok kan wiadar nanjapwe, o liol piripir jili.

18 Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].

Nanjapwe wiauier nanlan; japwilim omui liol akan kamaraini jappa; jappa mokieda o rerer.

19 [Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.

Al omui mi nan madau, al omui tatik nan pil kalaimun akan, o jota me kaan aluwilu omui.

20 You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].

Kom kotin kalua japwilim omui kan dueta pwin eu ren Mojej o Aron.
