< Psalm 68 >
1 [Psalm lal David] God El tuyak ac akfahsryelik mwet lokoalok lal. Elos su srungal elos kutangyukla ac kaingelik.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
2 Oana ke kulasr uh ukukla, ouinge God El luselosla. Oapana ke wax uh kofelik ke e uh, Ouinge mwet koluk elos wanginla ye mutun God.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 A mwet suwoswos elos insewowo ac engan ye mutal; Elos insewowo ac sasa ke engan.
But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 On nu sin God, yuk on in kaksak nu sel; Kowos srukak pusren on ac akfulatye El su kasrusr fin pukunyeng uh! Inel pa LEUM GOD— kowos in engan ye mutal!
Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him!
5 God, su muta in Tempul mutal sel, El nunku ke tulik mukaimtal, ac El karinganang katinmas.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 El sang acn in muta lun mwet mukaimtal, Ac el kolla mwet kapir nu ke sukosok ac engan, A elos su lainul fah muta ke acn na turangangla.
God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 O God, ke kom tuh kol mwet lom, Ac fahsr sasla yen mwesis,
God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
8 Faclu kusrusrsrusr, ac af kahkla inkusrao me Ke sripen tuku lun God lun Sinai, Su God lun Israel.
The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Kom oru tuh af matol in putat nu faclu Ac aksroksrokyauk acn su munaslana.
You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10 Mwet lom elos orala acn in muta lalos ingo; Ke pakoten lom, kom sang mwe kasru nu sin mwet sukasrup.
Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11 Leum El oru sap lal, Ac mutan puspis elos usalik pweng se inge:
The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
12 “Tokosra uh wi mwet mweun lalos elos kaingelik!” Na mutan su mutana acn selos elos kitalik ma wap inge:
“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13 Luman wule uh ma afla ke silver, Ac posohksok lalos saromrom ke gold nasnas. (Efu ku kutu suwos muta in kalkal lun sheep uh ke len in mweun?)
while you sleep amongst the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14 Ke God Kulana El akfahsryelik tokosra uh Fineol Zalmon, El oru tuh snow in putat we.
When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15 Fuka kuiyen Fineol Bashan, Soko eol su pukanten tohktok fac!
The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16 Efu ku kowos ngetnget koluk liki tohktok fulat kowos muta we Nu ke eol soko su God El sulela tuh Elan muta we? LEUM GOD El ac fah muta we ma pahtpat!
Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17 Ke tausin chariot fokoko natul, Leum El tuku Sinai me nu in acn mutal sel.
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is amongst them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18 El utyak nu yen fulat Ac us mwet sruoh puspis welul; El eis mwe sang sin mwet su lainul. LEUM GOD El ac fah muta ingo.
You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts amongst people, yes, amongst the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19 Kaksakin Leum, Su us ma toasr lasr len na len; El pa God su molikutla.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 God lasr, El God su molela; El pa LEUM GOD, Leum lasr, Su loangekut liki misa.
God is to us a God of deliverance. To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
21 Pwayena lah God El ac fah fukulya sifen mwet lokoalok lal, Elos su suk na in mutana in ma koluk lalos.
But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22 Leum El fahk, “Nga ac fah folokonma mwet lokoalok lowos liki Bashan, Nga fah folokunulosma liki acn loal meoa,
The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23 Tuh kowos fah fahsr in srah kaclos, Ac kosro ngalngul nutuwos in lohi srah kaclos nwe kena elos muti.”
that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24 O God, mwet nukewa elos liye fahsr in kutangla lom, Aok utyak lun God, Tokosra luk, nu in acn mutal sel.
They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Mwet on elos fahsr meet, ac mwet srital ke mwe on elos fahsr tok, Ac mutan fusr elos fahsr infulwa ac srital ke tambourine natulos.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, amongst the ladies playing with tambourines,
26 “Kaksakin God in walil lulap lun mwet lal. Kaksakin LEUM GOD, kowos fwil natul Jacob!”
“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
27 Benjamin, sruf se ma srik emeet, elan fahsr meet; Toko, mwet kol lun Judah wi mwet lalos, Na tufah mwet kol lun Zebulun ac Naphtali.
There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Akkalemye ku lom, O God; Ku se su kom orekmakin kacsr
Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29 Liki Tempul lom in Jerusalem, Yen tokosra uh elos use mwe lung nu sum we.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
30 Kael Egypt, su oana kosro lemnak su muta inmasrlon loa uh; Kai mutunfacl uh, su oana un cow mukul wi cow fusr, Nwe ke na elos nukewa suwoli ac asot silver lalos nu sum. Akfahsryeloselik su lungse orek mweun!
Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 Mwet fulat aolyen facl Egypt fah tuku; Ac mwet Ethiopia elos ac fah asroeak paolos in pre nu sin God.
Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32 On nu sin God, tokosrai lun faclu, Onkin on in kaksak nu sin Leum,
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord— (Selah)
33 Nu sel su kasrusr inkusrao — Kusrao su oan oemeet me. Porongo, el sala ke sie pusra ku.
to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Kowos fahkak ku lun God; Tuh fulat lal oan fin Israel, Ac ku lal oan inkusrao.
Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
35 Arulana yohk mangoliyen God ke El ac illa liki acn mutal sel — God lun Israel! El sang ku wolana nu sin mwet lal. Kaksakin God!
You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
