Psalms 79
1 God, other people-groups have invaded your land. They have (desecrated your temple/caused your temple to be unfit for worship), and they have destroyed all the buildings in Jerusalem.
MAING Kot, men liki kan tang dong sapwilim omui soso; irail kasaminela sapwilim omui im saraui, o re wiaki Ierusalem kantakai eu.
2 [Instead of burying] the corpses of your people [whom they killed], they allowed vultures and wild animals to eat the flesh of those corpses,
Re ki onger manpir en pan lang akan kalep en sapwilim omui ladu kan, o uduk en sapwilim omui saraui kan ong man en nan sap akan.
3 When they killed your people, your people’s blood flowed like water through [the streets of] Jerusalem, and there was [almost] no one [HYP] left to bury their corpses.
Impan Ierusalem irail wudokila nt’ ar dueta pil, o sota, me pan sarepedi.
4 The people-groups that live in countries that surround our land insult us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
Kit wialar kanamenok eu ong men imp at, o me kapil kit pena, kin lalaue o kaurur kin kit.
5 Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you be angry with us forever? Will your being angry [destroy us like] a burning fire [destroys things]?
Maing Ieowa, arai da kom pan kotin ongiong, o inong en kupur omui pan lulada dueta kisiniai?
6 [Instead of being angry with us], be angry with the people-groups that do not know/worship you! Be angry with kingdoms whose people do not pray to you,
Kom kotin wudokidi ong men liki kan, me sasa komui, omui ongiong, o ong wei kan, me sota kin likwir ong mar omui.
7 because they have killed Israeli people and they have ruined your country.
Pwe re kawelar Iakop o im ar akan.
8 Do not punish us because of the sins that our ancestors committed! Be merciful to us now/quickly, because we are very discouraged.
Kom der kotin tamanda dip en sam at akan; a kom kotin madang sauasa kit, pwe kit me malaulaular.
9 God, you have saved/rescued [us many times], [so] help us [now]; rescue us and forgive us for having sinned in order that other people will honor you [MTY].
Maing Kot, sauas pat, kom kotin sauasa kit, pweki wau en mar omui. Kom kotin dore kit ala o kotin maki ong kit dip at akan, pweki mar omui!
10 It is not right that [RHQ] other people-groups say [about us], “If their God [is very powerful], (surely he should help them/why does he not [help them])?” Allow us to see you punishing the people of other nations in return for their shedding our blood; they have killed many of us, your people.
Da me kom kotin mueid ong men liki kan en inda: Ari, ia arail Kot? Kom kotin kasale ong men liki kan depuk en ntan sapwilim omui ladu kan, me wudokilar, en pil sansal mo at!
11 Listen to your people groaning while they are in prison, and by your great power free those whom our enemies say that they will certainly execute.
Kotin mangi sangesang en me salidi o; kom kotin kolekol kidi lim omui manaman me kileledier ong kamela.
12 In return for their having [often] insulted you, punish them seven times as much!
Kom kotin depukki ong men imp at pan pak isu ar lalaue, me re lalaue kin komui.
13 After you do that, we, whom you [take care of like a shepherd takes care of] his sheep, will continue praising you; we will continue to praise you forever [HYP].
A kit, sapwilim omui aramas akan, o sip en sapwilim omui mos, pan danke komui kokolata, kapakaparok duen omui lingan ansau karos.
