Psalm 90
1 [Pre lal Moses, Mwet lun God] O Leum, kom nuna nien muta lasr.
Lord, you have always (been [like] a home for us/protected us) [MET].
2 Meet liki kom oru tuh inging uh in sikyak, Ku oakiya faclu, Kom nuna God oemeet me, Oayapa nu tok ma pahtpat.
Before you created the mountains, before you formed the earth and everything that is in it, you were eternally God, and you will be God forever.
3 Kom sap mwet uh in folokla nu ke fohk, Kom ekululosla nu ke kutkut, ma elos orekla kac.
[When people die], you cause their corpses to become soil again; you change their corpses to become dirt like [the first man] was created from.
4 Sie tausin yac oana len se nu sum; Oana ekea, su somla tari, Oana sie ao fototo ke fong.
When you (consider/think about) time, 1,000 years are [as short as] [SIM] one day which passes; [you consider that] [HYP] they are as short as a few hours in the night.
5 Oana sie sronot, kom pahtkakinkutla; Moul lasr tia loes liki sie mweme. Kut oana mah ma srunak ke lotutang
You cause people suddenly to die [MET]; they [live only a short time], like a dream lasts only a short time. They are like grass/weeds [SIM] that grow up.
6 Ac kapak ac farngelik, Na paola ac misa ke ekela.
In the morning [DOU] the grass sprouts and grows well, but in the evening it dries up and (completely withers/dies).
7 Kut kunausyukla ke mulat lom, Kut fosrngala ke kasrkusrak lom.
[Similarly], [because of the sins that we have committed], you become angry with us; you terrify us and then you destroy us.
8 Kom filiya ma koluk lasr ye motom, Ac ma koluk lukma lasr yen kom ku in liye.
[It is as though] you place our sins in front of you, you spread out even our secret sins where you can see them.
9 Moul lasr akfototoyeyuk ke kasrkusrak lom, Ac wanginla oana sie osfek.
Because you are angry with us, you cause our lives to end; the years that we live pass as quickly as a sigh does.
10 Lusen moul lasr yac itngoul na — Ac kut fin ku na, ac sun yac oalngoul, Tuh wanginna ma kut liye kac sayen mwe lokoalok ac asor. Moul lasr uh sa na safla, ac kut wanginla.
People live for only 70 years; but if they are strong, some of them live for 80 years. But even during good years we have much pain and troubles; our lives soon end, and we die [EUP].
11 Su nu pula kuiyen sulung lom? Su etu lupan sangeng ma ac tuku ke kasrkusrak lom?
No one [RHQ] has fully experienced the powerful things you can do to them when you are angry with them, and people are not afraid that you will greatly punish them because of your being angry with them.
12 Luti nu sesr in etu fototoiyen moul lasr Tu kut fah ku in lalmwetmet.
So teach/help us to realize that we live for only a short time in order that we may [use our time] wisely.
13 Kom ac mulat nwe ngac? O LEUM GOD, pakomuta mwet kulansap lom!
Yahweh, how long [will you be angry with us]? Pity us who serve you.
14 Nwekkutla ke lungse kawil lom ke kais sie lotutang, Tuh kut fah ku in on ac insewowo in moul lasr nufon.
Each morning show us that your faithfully loving us is enough for us in order that we may shout joyfully and be happy for the rest of our lives.
15 Akenganye kut inge, in oana lupan asor su kom tuh ase nu sesr In yac puspis su kom tuh akkeokye kut kac.
Cause us to now be as happy for as many years as you (afflicted us/caused us to be sad) and we experienced troubles.
16 Lela kut, mwet kulansap lom, in liye orekma ku lom; Lela fwil natusr tok in liye ku wolana lom.
Enable us to see the [great] things that you do and enable our descendants to [also] see your glorious power.
17 O LEUM GOD lasr, lela mwe insewowo lom in wi kut. Ase nu sesr wo ouiya in ma nukewa kut oru!
Lord, our God, give us your blessings and enable us to be successful; yes, cause us to be successful in [everything] that we do [DOU]!
