Psalms 48
1 IEOWA meid lapalap, o a indand mau melel nan kanim en atail Kot, pon japwilim a dol jaraui!
“A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
2 Meid kajelel en dol Jion a uda, me jap karoj kin peren kida; ni pali apon kanim en nanamarki lapalap mimi ia.
Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
3 Toun im kalaimun akan aja Kot, me i pere parail.
In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
4 Pwe kilan, nanmarki kan pokon pena, ap daulul wei.
For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
5 Irail puriamui kila ni ar kilaner mepukat; irail majapwekadar o taner.
As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
6 Irail rerer, o re majak dueta Ii pan naitik amen.
There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
7 Kom kin kotin kawela jop en Tarjij ki an en maj en lan.
As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
8 Duen atail ronadar, iduen kitail kin kilanada nan kanim en Ieowa Jopaot, nan kanim en atail Kot; Kot kin kolekol i kokolata.
As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
9 Main Kot je kin tamataman da omui kalanan nan japwilim ar tanpaj im en kaudok.
We think of thy loving-kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
10 Main Kot duen mar omui iduen wau omui lel ni imwin jappa; pali maun omui kadeik kan.
As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Dol en Jion en pereperen, o nan Iuda jeripein ko en injenemauki omui kadeik kan.
Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
12 Komail kaidon kapil pena Jion, wadok im ten kan;
Go round about Zion; number her towers;
13 Kilekilan mau a kel takai kan, o kajakajaui a im kalaimun akan, pwe komail en kak kajoia on men mur akan.
Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
14 Me Kot me et, pan atail Kot anjau karoj kokolata, A pan kotin kalua kitail kokolata.
For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
