Psalm 10
1 O LEUM GOD, efu kom muta loesla? Efu kom wikinkomla liki kut in pacl upa nu sesr?
Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
2 Mwet koluk elos filang ac akkeokye mwet sukasrup; Sruokolosi ke mwe kwasrip ma elos sifacna orala.
Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
3 Mwet koluk elos filangkin lungse koluk lalos; Mwet rapku elos fahk kas in selnga ac pilesru LEUM GOD.
For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
4 Mwet koluk elos tia nunku ke LEUM GOD; Ke inse fulat lalos elos nunku mu God El wangin sripa.
The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
5 Mwet koluk elos eis wo ouiya in ma nukewa. Elos tia ku in kalem ke nununku lun God; Elos israsrinkusrai mwet lokoalok lalos.
God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
6 Elos sifacna nunku insialos mu, “Kut fah tiana sun koluk ouiya; Kut fah tiana muta in ongoiya.”
For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
7 Sramsram lalos sessesla ke kas in selnga, kas kikiap, ac kas in aksangeng; Elos sa in fahk kas koluk ma srungayuk.
His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
8 Elos wikwik in siti srisrik, Ac soano in akmuseya mwet wangin mwata. Elos kasriki mwet munas;
He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
9 Elos wikwik in nien wikwik lalos oana lion uh. Elos muta soano mwet sukasrup; Elos sruokolosi ke mwe kwasrip lalos ac amakunulosla.
His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
10 Mwet sulallal elos atuyang nu fin mwet munas Ac toasriyalos toanelosi na elos itungyuki oan.
In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
11 Mwet koluk elos sifacna nunku insialos, “God El pilesru ma inge! El kaliya mutal ac El tia ku in liye!”
For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
12 O LEUM GOD, sang kaiyuk nu sin mwet koluk ingan! Esamulos su akkeokyeyuk!
Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
13 Fuka tuh mwet koluk uh ku in pilesru God Ac fahk insialos sifacna mu, “El ac fah tia kai kut”?
Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
14 Tusruktu kom liye na. Kom akilen na ongoiya ac keok lun mwet, Ac kom akola in kasru pacl e nukewa. Mwet munas elos eisaloswot nu sum; Kom kasrelos su enenu in pacl e nukewa.
Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
15 Kunausla ku lun mwet koluk ac mwet sulallal; Kaelos ke ma koluk elos oru Nwe ke elos tia sifil oru.
Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
16 LEUM GOD El tokosra nu tok ma pahtpat. Elos su alu nu sin kutena god saya Ac fah wanginla liki facl sin God.
The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
17 O LEUM GOD, kom fah porongo pre lun mwet fakpap; Kom fah akpulaikyalos.
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
18 Kom ac fah lohng tung lun mwet mwemelil ac mwet mukaimtal; Nununku lom ac fah wo nu selos, Tuh mwet faclu fah tia sifil aksangengyalos.
To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
