Psalms 88

1 Yahweh God, you who rescues me, all during each day I call out [to you] to help me, and I cry out to you during each night also.

[Psalm Lun Tulik Natul Korah; Ac Heman, Mwet Ezra] O LEUM GOD su langoeyu, nga wowoyak ac tung len fon, Ac ke fong nga tuku nu ye motom.

2 Listen [IDM] to my prayer [DOU], while I cry out to you [for help]!

Lohng pre luk, Lipsre tung luk in suk kasru!

3 I have experienced many troubles/difficulties, and I am about to die [MTY] and go where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)

Tuh mwe keok puspis putati nu fuk Ac nga apkuran in misa. (Sheol h7585)

4 Because I have no more strength, [other people also] consider that I will soon die.

Nga oana elos nukewa su apkuran in misa; Wanginla ku luk.

5 I am like a corpse that has been abandoned; I am like dead people who lie in their graves, people who have been completely forgotten, because you do not take care of them any more.

Sisila nga inmasrlon mwet misa, Nga oana mwet su anwuki ac pukpuki in kulyuk uh — Oana elos su kom tiana sifil esam, Su kom fah tia ku in sifilpa kasru.

6 [It is as though] you have thrown me into a deep, dark pit, into a place where they throw corpses.

Kom sisyula nu in lufin mas loallana, Nu in luf se su arulana lohsr ac loal.

7 [It seems like] you are very angry with me, and [it is as though] you have crushed me like [ocean] waves [crash down on people] [MET].

Mulat lom putati toasr nu fuk Ac nga itungyuki ye noa in kasrkusrak lom.

8 You have caused my friends to (avoid/stay away from) me; I have become repulsive to them. [It is as though] I am in a prison and cannot escape.

Kom oru tuh mwet kawuk luk in sisyula, Ac oru tuh nga in oana mwe srungayuk selos. Nga kauli ac tia ku in kaingkunla.

9 My eyes cannot see well because I cry very much. Yahweh, every day I call out to you [to help me]; I lift up my hands to you [while I pray].

Mutuk losrla ke keok luk, LEUM GOD, nga sralak pouk Ac pre nu sum len nukewa.

10 You certainly do not [RHQ] perform miracles for dead people! Their spirits do not [RHQ] arise to praise you!

Ya kom ac oru ma sakirik usrnguk nu sin mwet misa? Ya elos ac tukakek ac kaksakin kom?

11 Corpses in the grave certainly do not tell about your faithfully loving us [RHQ], and in the place where people are finally destroyed, no one tells about what you faithfully [do for us] [RHQ].

Ya lungse kawil lom srumunyuk in kulyuk uh? Ya oaru lom srumunyuk ke acn in kunausten?

12 No one in the deep dark pit ever sees the miracles that you perform [RHQ], and no one in the place where people have been completely forgotten tells about your being good to us.

Ya mwenmen lom liyeyuk in acn lohsr uh, Ku wo lom liyeyuk ke acn sin mwet mulkinyukla uh?

13 But [as for me], Yahweh, I cry out to you [to help me]; each morning I pray to you.

LEUM GOD, nga pre nu sum in kasreyu. Nga pre nu sum ke lotutang nukewa.

14 Yahweh, why do you reject me [RHQ]? Why do you turn away from me [RHQ]?

Efu ku kom sisyula, LEUM GOD? Efu ku kom ngetla likiyu?

15 All the time since I was young, I have suffered and have often almost died; I am (in despair/very discouraged) because of enduring the terrible things that you have done to me.

Nga nuna keok ac apkuran nu ke misa e ke nga srikyak, Nga totola ke ma toasr su kom kaiyu kac.

16 [I feel that] you have crushed me because of your being angry with me; the terrible things that you are doing to me are almost destroying me.

Mulat upa lom itungyuwi — Mwe aksangeng lom kunausyula.

17 [I feel as though] they surround me like a flood [SIM]; they are (closing in on/crushing) me from all sides.

Ma inge apinyula oana sronot ke len nufon, Ac kuhlusyuwi ke siska nukewa.

18 You have caused [even] my friends and others whom I love to avoid me, and [it is as though] the only friend that I have is darkness.

Finne kawuk fototo luk, kom oru elos sisyula, Ac lohsr mukena pa nga liye uh.
