< Psalm 59 >

1 AI Kot, kom kotin dore ia la sang ai imwintiti kan, o kotin pera sang ia mon me palian ia.
For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him. Save me, O God, from my enemies; secure me from my assailants.
2 Dore ia la sang me morsued akan, o kotin sauasa ia sang me inong iong nta.
Save me from those who do wrong, save me from the bloodthirsty.
3 Irail kin masamasan maur i, me kelail akan pokon pena ong ia, a sota dip ai, o sota me sued kot, me i wiadar, Maing Ieowa.
For see! They lay ambush for me, strong men are banded against me not for sin or transgression of mine, for no guilt of mine, O Lord,
4 Irail tang pena o kaonopada, a sota dip ai. Kom kotin opada wasa, o kotin ieiang ia, o irerong mepukat.
they run and make ready. Awake! Come forth to meet me, and see!
5 Maing Ieowa, Kot Sepaot, Kot en Israel, kotin opada wasa, o kotin kadeikada men liki kan karos. Kom der maki ong amen ir, me kin wia dip ni ar aklapalap. (Sela)
You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, awake! And punish the proud, every one; spare none of the traitors vile. (Selah)
6 Nin sautik re kin puredo ngungung dueta kidi kan, o re kin tangatang sili nan kanim o.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in the city.
7 Kom kotin mangi, re kin lidelidu mongin; kodlas kan mi pan kilin au arail: Is me pan rong?
Look at their venomous mouths, tongues like swords, they think no one hears them.
8 A komui, Maing Ieowa, pan kotin kiparamat kin irail, o kom pan kotin kalis irail la.
But you, Lord, laugh at them, you mock all the insolent.
9 Kele pa i, i pan rukila re omui. Pwe Kot pere pa i.
My strength, I will sing to you, for God is my sure retreat.
10 Kot kin kotin kasale ong ia melel a kalangan; Kot kin kotin wiai ong ia, i en peren kida ai imwintiti.
My God with his love will meet me, and feast my eyes on my foes.
11 Kom der kotin kame ir ala, pwe nai aramas akan pan monokela, a kotin kamueit ir pasang ki omui mana, Ieowa pere pat, kasapoke ir ala.
Slay them not, lest my people forget, let your hosts keep them roaming and wandering.
12 Dip eta lokaia en kilin au arail; i me re pan lokidi ni ar aklapalap; pwe re kin lokaia lalaue o likam eta.
In their sinful speech snare them, O Lord; and may they be trapped in their pride, for the curses and lies that they utter.
13 Kom kotin kawe ir ala o der maki ong ir; kawe ir ala, pwe ren solar meakot, ap asa, me Kot kotin kaunda kadaudok en Iakop o sap karos. (Sela)
In your wrath make a clean end of them, that people, to the ends of the earth, may know that God rules in Jacob. (Selah)
14 Nin sautik re kin puredo ngungung dueta kidi kan, o re kin tangatang sili nan kanim o.
At evening they come, and, howling like dogs, make their round in the city.
15 Re kin tangatang sili rapaki kan ar manga, ap lipaned, ma re sota pan medila.
They roam about for a feast, and snarl, if they get not their fill.
16 A i pan kauleki duen omui manaman, o ni mansang i pan kapinga omui kalangan, pwe komui pere pa i o ai paip ni ran en ai apwal.
But I will sing of your might; I will ring out your love in the morning. For to me you have been a sure refuge, a retreat in the day of my trouble.
17 I pan kauli ong komui ai paip, pwe Kot pere pa i o ai Kot kalangan.
My strength, I will sing praise to you, for God is my sure retreat, my faithful God.
