< Psalm 27 >
1 [Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD El kalem luk ac lango luk; Su nga ac fah sangeng se? LEUM GOD El pot ku nu ke moul luk, Su nga ac fah sangeng se?
Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?
2 Ke mwet koluk elos tuku in lainyu ac suk in uniyuwi, Elos tukulkul ac ikori.
When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.
3 Finne sie un mwet mweun tuku rauniyula, Nga fah tiana sangeng; Finne mwet lokoalok tuku lainyu, Nga fah lulalfongi na God.
Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.
4 Nga siyuk sin LEUM GOD ke ma se, Ac ma sefanna nga lungsik: Tuh nga in muta in lohm sin LEUM GOD in moul luk nufon, In liye kasrpen wolana lal, Ac in siyuk ke koko lal.
One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.
5 In pacl in ongoiya, El fah lisringyuyak; El fah karinginyu in Tempul lal Ac oru tuh nga in moulla fin sie eot fulat.
For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.
6 Tuh nga fah kutangla mwet lokoalok su rauniyula. Nga fah orek kisa in lohm sel ke pusren engan lulap; Nga fah on, ac nga fah kaksakin LEUM GOD.
Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Lohngyu, O LEUM GOD, ke nga pang nu sum! Pakomutuk ac topukyu!
Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.
8 Ke kom fahk, “Fahsru ac alu nu sik,” Na nga topuk, “Aok, LEUM GOD, nga ac fahsrot.”
My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.
9 Nikmet wikinkomla likiyu! Nikmet kasrkusrak sik; Nikmet supwala mwet kulansap lom liki kom. Kom nuna mwet kasru luk; Nikmet fahsr likiyu ku sisyula, O God, Mwet Lango luk.
Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 Sahp papa tumuk ac nina kiuk elos ku in sisyula, Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fah karinginyu.
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
11 LEUM GOD, luti nu sik ma kom lungsum tuh nga in oru, Ac kolyu ke inkanek wo lom, Mweyen pus mwet lokoalok luk.
Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.
12 Nikmet sisyula nu inpoun mwet lokoalok luk Su lainyu ke kas kikiap ac kas in aksangeng.
Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.
13 Nga etu tuh nga fah moul ac liye Woiyen LEUM GOD in moul se inge.
Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Lulalfongi in LEUM GOD. Lulalfongi, ac tia fuhleak. Lulalfongi na in LEUM GOD.
Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
