< Psalm 32 >

1 [Psalm lal David] Insewowo elos su ma koluk lalos nunak munas nu selos, Su ma koluk lalos tuleyukla.
“A psalm of David.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!
2 Insewowo el su LEUM GOD El tia esam orekma tafongla lal Ac su wangin kutasrik in el.
Happy the man to whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile!
3 Ke nga tuh tia fahkak ma koluk luk, Nga foroti ke nga tung len nufon.
While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, By reason of my groaning all the day long.
4 LEUM GOD, kom kaiyu ke len ac fong; Ku luk wanginla na pwaye, Oana ke aunfong uh wanginla ke pacl fol.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; My moisture dried up, as in summer's drought.
5 Na nga fahkak ma koluk luk nu sum; Nga tia okanla orekma koluk luk. Nga sulela in fahkak nu sum, Ac kom nunak munas ke ma koluk luk nukewa.
At length I acknowledged to thee my sin, And did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgression to the LORD;” And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin! (Pause)
6 Ke ma inge, lela mwet inse pwaye lom nukewa in pre nu sum in pacl in enenu; Tuh in pacl ma koluk tuku oana sronot, Ac fah tia ku in sonolos.
Therefore shall every pious man pray to thee, while thou mayst be found; Surely the floods of great waters shall not come near him.
7 Kom nien wikla luk; Kom ac fah moliyu in pacl in ongoiya. Nga onkakin molela lom ke pusra lulap Tuh kom karinginyu.
Thou art my hiding-place; thou preservest me from trouble; Thou compassest me about with songs of deliverance. (Pause)
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah lun kom inkanek kom in fahsr kac; Nga fah aketeya nu sum ac kasrekom.
I will instruct thee, and show thee the way thou shouldst go; I will give thee counsel, and keep mine eye upon thee.
9 Nik kom lalfon oana soko horse ku soko miul, Su enenu sie mwe kapir inwalulos Ac soko sucl in kifasulos.”
Be ye not like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding, Whose mouths must be pressed with the bridle and curb, Because they will not come near thee!
10 Fal mwet koluk in keok, A elos su lulalfongi in LEUM GOD Elos karinginyuk ke lungse kawil lal.
The wicked hath many sorrows; But he that trusteth in the LORD is encompassed with mercies.
11 Kowos su suwoswos, kowos in engan ac insewowo Ke sripen orekma lun LEUM GOD. Kowos su aksol, kowos in sasa ke engan!
Rejoice in the LORD, and be glad, ye righteous; Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart!
