< Psalm 83 >

1 [Psalm lal Asaph] O God, nik kom misla, Nik kom sukas ac tia sramsram.
A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
2 Liye! Mwet lokoalok lom elos alein, Ac elos su srungakom elos orek fohs.
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
3 Elos orek pwapa lukma in lain mwet lom; Elos pwapa in lainulos su kom karingin.
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
4 Elos fahk, “Fahsru, lela kut in kunausla mutunfacl selos, Tuh inen Israel in mulkinyukla nwe tok.”
“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 Elos insese ke pwapa lalos Ac tukeni orala oakwuk se in lain kom.
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
6 Elos mwet Edom ac mwet Ishmael, Mwet Moab ac mwet Hagar,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7 Mwet Gebal, Ammon ac Amalek, Ac mwet Philistia ac Tyre.
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Mwet Assyria oayapa welulosyang, Elos arulana asruoki ku nu sin mwet Ammon ac mwet Moab, su ma in fwil natul Lot.
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Oru nu selos oana kom tuh oru nu sin mwet Midian, Ac nu sel Sisera ac Jabin sisken Infacl Kishon.
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
10 Kom kutangulosla in acn Endor, Ac manolos kulawi fin fohk uh.
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
11 Oru nu sin mwet kol lalos oana kom tuh oru nu sel Oreb ac Zeeb. Kutangla mwet kol lalos nukewa, oana ma sikyak nu sel Zebah ac Zalmunna,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Su tuh fahk, “Acn inge, su ma lun God, Kut ac eisla lasr.”
who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
13 O God, siseloselik oana kutkut — Oana kulun wheat su ukukla ke eng uh.
My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
14 In oana ke e uh esukak insak uh, Ac furreak eol uh,
As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
15 Ukwalosyak ke paka lom, Ac aksangengyalos ke eng upa lom.
so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
16 O LEUM GOD, afinya mutalos ke mwekin, Ac oru tuh elos in akfulatye ku lom.
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
17 Lela elos in kutangyukla ac sangengla nwe tok. Lela misa lalos in sie mwe mwekin lulap.
Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
18 Lela elos in etu lah kom mukena pa LEUM GOD— Kom pa Leum fulatlana fin faclu nufon.
that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
