< Psalm 36 >

1 [Psalm lal David, Mwet Kulansap lun LEUM GOD] Ma koluk uh tilyang nu insien sie mwet koluk ac kaskas nu sel. El pilesru God ac tia sangeng sel.
For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
2 Ke sripen nunak fulat lal kacl sifacna El nunku mu God El ac tia etu ke ma koluk lal ac akkolukyal kac.
In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
3 Kaskas lal uh koluk ac sessesla ke kikiap; El tia sifil oru ma lalmwetmet ac wo.
Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
4 El akoo nunak kutasrik lal ke el oan fin mwe oan kial; Wangin ma wo el oru, Ac el tia fahsr liki ma koluk.
Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
5 LEUM GOD, lungse kawil lom sun kusrao; Oaru lom sun pukungeng yen engyeng uh.
Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
6 Suwoswos lom fulat oana soko eol; Nununku lom loal oana acn loal meoa. Kom karinganang mwet ac ma orakrak.
Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
7 O God, fuka saokiyen lungse kawil lom! Kut konauk nien wikla lasr ye lulin poum.
God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
8 Kut mutkin mwe mongo puspis su kom ase nu sesr; Kom ase ma wo puspis nu sesr, oana soror lun infacl uh.
They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
9 Tuh kom pa mutaweyen moul nukewa, Ac ke sripen kalem lom kut ku in liye kalem.
You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
10 Tia fuleak in lungse elos su etekom Ac in oru wo nu selos su suwohs insialos.
Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
11 Nikmet lela tuh mwet inse fulat elos in lainyu Ku mwet koluk in oru tuh nga in kaing.
Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
12 Liye mwet koluk oan ingo — Sisila elos nu ten, ac elos tia ku in sifil tukakek.
Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
