Psalms 16
1 MAIN Kot, kom kotin jinjila ia, pwe i liki komui.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 Nai potoan on Ieowa: Komui ta ai Kaun, jota eu pai, me i aja, pwe komui eta.
I said to Jehovah, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 O I kin indan jaraui kan, me kin mi nan jappa: Met akan pwin ijou, me I kin pokepoke jan ni monion i.
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 A irail me kin idedauen amen, pan lodi on apwal toto. I jota mauki arail mairon, me doleki nta, de mar arail I jota pan inda.
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 A Ieowa ai pai o ai peren; Komui kin kolekol ai jojo.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 I diaradar ai pwaij en jap kajelel eu, ei pai kajelel eu, me i jojokier.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 I kapina Ieowa, me kotin kalolekon ia; pil ni pon mudilik i kan kin padaki on ia.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I kin ariri Ieowa anjau karoj, pwe a kotikot ni pali maun i, i ap jota pan luetala.
I have put Jehovah before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 I me monion i kin peren kida, o nen i kin popol, pwe pil pali uduk ai pan moleilei.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 Pwe kom jota pan kotin mauki, nen i en mimieta nan wajan mela, o kom jota pan mueid on, me japwilim omui jaraui men pan mor pajan. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kom kin kotin kaaja kin ia al maur; peren lapalap mi mon jilan omui, o meid linan ni pali maun en lim omui kokolata.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
