Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
I MEN kapinga Ieowa sang nan mongiong i meler, o kasokasoiia duen sapwilim omui dodok kapuriamui kan karos.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
I men pereperen o polauleki komui o kauleki mar omui; komui me lapalapia,
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Pwe re kotin kaloedier ai imwintiti kan, irail pupedier o melar.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Pwe re kotin apwali ia ni ai pung o ai dodok. Komui kaipokedi pon mol omui duen saunkapung pung amen.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Kom kotin kapung ong men liki kan o kotin kamela me sapung kan, kom kotin kawelar mar arail kokolata.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Imwintiti o soredier, a namenokalar melel. Komui kotin wuketedi kanim akan; o solar, me pan taman irail ada o tou ar akan.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
A Ieowa pan kotin kaunda kokolata. A kotin kaonopada mol a, pwen kadeikada.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
O a pan kotin kadeikada sappa ni pung, o kakaunda wei kan pung.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Ieowa sile pan me samama kan, silepa ni ansau apwal.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
I me irail, me asa mar omui kin liki komui, pwe komui sota kin muei sang irail, me kin rapaki komui, Maing Ieowa.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Kauleki Ieowa, me kin kaunda nan Sion. Komail padaki ong wei kan a wiawia!
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Pwe a kotin taman irail ada o kotin kainoma nta’rail. A sota kin kotin maliela likwir en me samama kan.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Maing Ieowa, kom kotin maki ong ia. Re kotin mangi ai apwal ren ai imwintiti kan, kom kotin dore ia la sang nan wanim en mela.
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
Pwe i en kasokasoiia duen omui dodok kapuriamui pan wanim en nain Sion, perenki sauas pa om.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Men liki kan pupedi ong nan por o, me pein irail weiradar, o nä’rail lodi ong insar, me pein irail wiadar.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
I me kitail asaki, Ieowa me kotin kapung pung. Me sapung kan salidi ong pein ar dodok en pa ar akan. (Sela)
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Me sapung kan en lokidokila nan wasan mela, o men liki kan karos, me kin monokela Kot. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Pwe me samama o sota pan monokinokla kokolata, o me luet akan sota pan kaporoporeki mal kokolata.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Maing, kom kotida! Pwe aramas ender pwaida, a men liki kan karos en pakadeikada mo omui.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Maing, kotiki ong ir men kamasak, pwe men liki kan en dedeki, me re udan aramas eta. (Sela)
