< Psalm 16 >
1 [Psalm lal David] Karinginyume, O God; nga lulalfongi kom tuh kom nien molela nu sik.
A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
2 Nga fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Kom Leum luk; Ma wo nukewa yuruk, ma tuku sum me.”
My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
3 Fuka woiyen mwet su inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD! Mwe engan lulap nu sik tuh nga in welulos.
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
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.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Kom, LEUM GOD, kom mukena God luk, ac mwe usru luk, Kom ase mwe enenu luk nukewa; Moul luk uh oan inpoum.
The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Arulana wo mwe kite lom nu sik; Yoklana woiyen ma inge!
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
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 has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Nga pula na mu LEUM GOD El oasr yuruk pacl e nukewa; El apkuran, ac wangin ma ac fah mokleyu.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Ke ma inge nga arulana engan ac sang kulo, Ac nga muta in moul misla,
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
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 )
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol )
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 will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
