Psalm 69
1 [Psalm lal David] Moliyula, O God; Tuh kof uh lapak sun inkwawuk.
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 Nga tili in acn furarrar na loal, Ac wangin acn nga in tu fac. Nga oasr in kof loallana, Ac noa uh apkuran in utiyuwi.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 Nga totola in tung; Kapinsrulyuk paola. Mutuk munasla Ke nga tupan kasru lom.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
4 Elos su srungayu ke wangin sripa Elos pus liki na aunsifuk. Mwet lokoalok luk fahk kas kikiap lainyu; Elos arulana fokoko ac kena in uniyuwi. Elos oru nga folokonang ma su nga tia pisrala.
Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
5 O God, ma koluk luk tiana wikla liki kom, Kom etu lupan nikin luk.
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
6 Nikmet lela tuh nga in akmwekinyalos su lulalfongi kom, O LEUM GOD Kulana. Nikmet lela in nga pa pwanang pilesreyuk elos su alu nu sum, O God lun Israel.
O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
7 Ke sripom nga akkolukyeyuk, Ac mwekin apinyula.
People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
8 Nga oana sie mwet tia eteyuk sin mwet lik, Ac oana sie mwetsac in sou luk.
Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
9 Moniyuk luk nu ke Tempul lom firirrir in nga oana sie e; Ac kas in akkoluk lun mwet keim putati nu fuk.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
10 Nga sifacna akpusiselyeyu ke lalo luk, Ac mwet uh fahk kas in akkolukyeyu.
When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
11 Nga nokomang nuknuk in asor Ac elos isrunyu.
When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
12 Elos sramsramkinyu inkanek uh, Ac mwet sruhi elos kinala on keik.
Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
13 A funu nga, LEUM GOD, nga ac pre nu sum; Topukyu, O God, in pacl kom sulela, Topukyu ke lungse yohk lom, Ke sripen kom akpwayeye wulela lom in molela.
But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
14 Moliyula tuh nga in tia tili yen furarrar, Langoeyula liki mwet lokoalok luk, Ac liki inkof loal.
Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15 Tia lela sronot in afinyula, Nikmet lela nga in walomla yen loal Ku tili nu in kulyuk.
Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
16 Topukyu, O LEUM GOD, ke wolana lun lungse kawil lom; Ke pakoten lom, kom in forma nu sik.
O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
17 Nikmet okanla motom liki mwet kulansap lom, Nga muta in ongoiya lulap — topukyu inge!
Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
18 Kaluku nu yuruk ac moliyula. Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk.
Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
19 Kom etu lupan kas koluk lun mwet uh keik, Ac lupan akmwekin ac aklusrongten orek nu sik. Kom liye mwet lokoalok luk nukewa.
You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
20 Kas in akkoluk lalos kunausla insiuk, Ac nga muta in ongoiya. Nga finsrak mu ac oasr pakomuta nu sik, tuh pa wangin, Nga nunku mu ac oasr mwet tuku akwoyeyu, a wangin.
[Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
21 Ke nga masrinsral, elos se pwasin, Ac ke nga malu, elos se vinegar nimuk.
[Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
22 Lela tepu lalos in ekla mwe kwasrip nu selos; Lela kufwa mutal lalos in mwe lusla nu selos.
I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
23 Oru tuh mutalos in kunla, Ac oru tuh fintokolos in munas pacl e nukewa.
I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
24 Okoaung mulat lom nu faclos; Ac lela kasrkusrak lom in ukwalos ac sruokolosi.
Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
25 Lela iwen aktuktuk lalos in pisala, Ac in wangin mwet moul lula in lohm nuknuk selos.
Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
26 Elos kalyaelos su kom kai, Ac elos kaskas ke keok lun mwet su kom kanteya.
[Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
27 Kom in simusla ma koluk lalos nukewa, Ac tia lela elos in wi eis molela sum.
Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
28 Lela tuh inelos in iyukla liki book in moul, Ac lela elos in tia wi sikyak inmasrlon mwet suwoswos lom.
Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
29 A nga muta in keok ac ongoiya, Srukyuyak, O God, ac moliyula!
As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
30 Nga ac fah kaksakin God ke soko on; Nga ac fah akkalemye fulat lal ke nga sang kulo nu sel.
When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
31 Ma inge mwe akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, yohk liki in kisakin cow, Aok, yohk liki kisakin cow mukul ma matula ac oasr koac kac.
My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
32 Ke mwet su muta in ongoiya elos ac liye ma inge, elos ac engan; Ac fah mwe akkeye insien mwet su alu nu sin God.
Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
33 LEUM GOD El porongalos su muta in enenu Ac El tia mulkunulosla su muta in presin.
Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
34 Kaksakin God, kusrao ac faclu, Meoa ac ma nukewa loac.
I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
35 Tuh God El fah molela Jerusalem Ac sifil musaeak siti in Judah. Mwet lun God elos ac fah muta we, ac acn we ac fah ma lalos.
God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
36 Tuh fwilin tulik nutin mwet kulansap lal fah usrui acn inge, Ac elos su lungse El, fah muta we.
The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
