< Psalm 55 >

1 [Psalm lal David] Lohng pre luk, O God; Nikmet forla liki mwe siyuk luk!
Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not yourself from my supplication.
2 Porongeyu ac topukyu, Tuh nga arulana totola ke fosrnga luk.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Nga arulana sangeng ke kas in aksangeng lun mwet lokoalok luk; Nga keok ke mwet koluk uh akfosrngayeyu. Elos use mwe ongoiya nu fuk; Elos srungayu ac kasrkusrak sik.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 Nga arulana sangeng, Ac mwe fosrnga lun misa toanyuwi.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Nga arulana sangeng ac rarrar; Nga tuninfong na pwaye.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Nga ke tuh in oasr posohksok keik oana wule. Nga lukun sohkla ac suk nien mongla.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Nga lukun sohkla nu yen loesla Ac oru nien muta luk yen mwesis.
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Nga lukun sulaklak ac konauk nien wikla luk Liki eng upa ac paka.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9 O Leum, akfohsyauk sramsram lun mwet lokoalok luk! Nga liye mwet uh oru ma sulallal ac alein yohk in siti uh —
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Raunela ke len ac fong. Ma koluk lulap ac mwe lokoalok oasr yen nukewa in siti sac.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Oasr ma musalla in acn nukewa; Inkanek uh sessesla ke mwe akkeok ac ma kikiap.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 Fin mwet lokoalok se luk pa aksruksrukyeyu, Nga ac ku in muteng; Fin mwet lainyu se pa tungak nu sik uh, Nga ac ku in wikla lukel.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 Tuh pa kom pa oru — mwet na wiuk se, Mwet na nga etu se, ac kawuk na wowo luk.
But it was you, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 Kut arulana sukosok in sramsram nu sin sie sin sie Ac kut tukeni alu in Tempul.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Finsrak tuh mwet lokoalok luk in misa meet liki pacl fal lalos; Finsrak elos in moulna som nu infulan misa! Tuh ma koluk oasr in lohm selos ac insialos. (Sheol h7585)
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (Sheol h7585)
16 A funu nga, nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD in suk kasru, Ac El ac fah moliyula.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Ke lotutang, infulwen len, ac eku Pusren torkaskas ac sasao luk sowak nu yorol Ac El ac lohng pusrek.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 El ac fah moliyula ac folokinyume Liki mweun su nga oasr kac Ke nga lain mwet lokoalok puspis luk.
He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God, su nuna leum ke mutawauk me, El ac fah lohngyu ac kutangla mwet lokoalok luk, Mweyen elos srangesr ekulla ouiyen moul lalos, Ac elos tia sangeng sel.
God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 Mwet se ma kasreyu meet, el forla lain mwet kawuk lal; Ac el kunausla wulela lal.
He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he has broken his covenant.
21 Meet, sramsram lal fwel oana kiris, Tusruktu yohk srunga insial; Kas lal musresre oana kaki in akmusra, Tusruktu fakfuk oana cutlass.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Filiya mwe fosrnga lom yurin LEUM GOD, Ac El ac fah loangekom; Tuh El tiana lela mwet suwoswos in kutangyukla.
Cast your burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 A kom, O God, fah use mwet akmas ac mwet kikiap nu inkulyuk lalos Meet liki na elos sun infulwen moul lalos. A funu nga, nga ac lulalfongi kom na.
But you, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.
