Psalm 71
1 LEUM GOD, nga tuku in wikla yurum; Nikmet lela in kutangyukla nga.
A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:
2 Ke suwoswos lom, kom in kasreyu ac loangeyu. Porongeyu ac moliyula.
Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
3 Kom fah eot in molela luk, Ac nien wikla ku luk in langoeyu, Tuh kom eot ku ac nien muta ku luk.
Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
4 O God luk, moliyula liki poun mwet koluk, Liki ku lun mwet sesuwos ac mwet sulallal.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
5 LEUM GOD Kulana, nga filiya finsrak luk in kom; Nga nuna lulalfongi kom oe ke pacl nga srakna tulik.
For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
6 Nga nuna lulalfongi kom in moul luk nufon. Kom karinginyu na oe ke nga isusla ah me. Nga ac fah kaksakin kom pacl e nukewa.
By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
7 Moul luk sie mwe srikasrak nu sin mwet pus, Mweyen kom mwet kasru ku luk.
I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
8 Ke len nufon nga kaksakin kom Ac fahkak wolana lom.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.
9 Nikmet sisyula inge ke nga matuoh; Ac nikmet ngetla likiyu inge ke nga munasla.
Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
10 Mwet lokoalok luk lungse in uniyuwi, Elos kaskas keik ac pwapa in lainyu.
For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
11 Elos fahk, “God El sisella tari. Kut som sruokilya, Tuh wangin mwet ac molella.”
Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, nikmet muta loesla likiyu, God luk, aksaye kasreyu.
O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.
13 Lela tuh elos su lainyu In kutangyukla ac kunausyukla. Lela tuh elos su suk in akkolukyeyu In akmwekinyeyuk ac akkolukyeyuk.
Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
14 Nga ac fah filiya finsrak luk in kom pacl e nukewa; Nga fah kalwenina in akyokye pusren kaksak luk nu sum.
But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.
15 Nga ac fah fahkak wolana lom — Ke lusenna len uh nga fah sramsram ke molela lom, Finne yohk liki na ma nga ku in kalem kac.
My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning,
16 Nga ac fah fahsr ke ku lun LEUM GOD, Nga fah fahkak wolana lom, tuh kom mukena wo.
I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
17 God, kom lutiyu ke nga tulik me, Ac nga srakna fahkak orekma wolana lom.
Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
18 Inge ke nga matuoh ac fiaya, O God, nik kom fahsr likiyu. Wiyu ke nga fahkak ku lulap lom Nu sin fwil nukewa su ac fah tuku.
And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,
19 Suwoswos lom, O God, sowak ac sun kusrao, Tuh kom oru ma usrnguk; Wangin sie oana kom.
And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
20 Kom tuh supwama mwe ongoiya ac mwe keok nu fuk, Tusruktu kom ac fah sifil folokonma ku luk. Kom ac fah sruokyuwi liki inkulyuk uh.
How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
21 Kom ac fah oru tuh nga in fulat liki meet, Ac kom fah sifil akwoyeyu.
Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
22 Pwaye nga ac fah kaksakin kom ke pusren harp; Nga ac fah kaksakin oaru lom, God luk. Nga fah sritalkin harp nutik in on nu sum, Kom su Mutallana lun Israel.
For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
23 Nga ac fah wowoyak ke engan ke nga srital nu sum; Ke moul luk nufon nga ac fah on, Mweyen kom moliyula.
My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
24 Nga ac fah kaskas ke suwoswos lom ke lusen len nufon, Mweyen elos su srike in akkolukyeyu Elos kutangyukla ac aklusrongtenyeyukla.
Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
