Psalm 16
1 [Psalm lal David] Karinginyume, O God; nga lulalfongi kom tuh kom nien molela nu sik.
A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
2 Nga fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom Leum luk; Ma wo nukewa yuruk, ma tuku sum me.”
I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
3 Fuka woiyen mwet su inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD! Mwe engan lulap nu sik tuh nga in welulos.
As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
4 Elos su kena suk god saya, Elos use mwe ongoiya pus nu faclos sifacna. Nga ac fah tiana welulos in oru mwe kisa lalos; Nga ac fah tia alu nu sin god lalos.
Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
5 Kom, LEUM GOD, kom mukena God luk, ac mwe usru luk, Kom ase mwe enenu luk nukewa; Moul luk uh oan inpoum.
Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
6 Arulana wo mwe kite lom nu sik; Yoklana woiyen ma inge!
The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
7 Nga kaksakin LEUM GOD, mweyen El kol inkanek luk, Ac ngun su oan in nga lutiyu ke fong.
I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
8 Nga pula na mu LEUM GOD El oasr yuruk pacl e nukewa; El apkuran, ac wangin ma ac fah mokleyu.
I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
9 Ke ma inge nga arulana engan ac sang kulo, Ac nga muta in moul misla,
That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
10 Ke sripen kom karinginyu liki ku lun misa. Nga oaru na in kulansupwekom, Ac kom ac fah tia sisyula in facl lun mwet misa. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kom ac fah akkalemye nu sik inkanek in moul; Ke kom apkuran nu sik, insiuk arulana engan — Ac mwe insewowo nu sik nwe tok ma pahtpat.
You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
