Psalm 35
1 [Psalm lal David] LEUM GOD, lainulos su lainyu, Ac mweunelos su mweun lainyu!
By David. Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Srukak mwe loeyuk ac mwe loang lom Ac fahsru moliyula.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Srukak osra ac tula in mweun nutum Ac lainulos su ukweyu. Wulema nu sik lah kom ac moliyula.
Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
4 Lela tuh elos su suk in uniyu Elos in kutangyukla ac akmwekinyeyuk! Lela tuh elos su kinauk pwapa koluk in lainyu Elos in folokinyukla ac akfohsyeyukyak!
Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonour. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
5 Lela tuh elos in oana loa su eng uh okla Ke lipufan lun LEUM GOD ukwalos.
Let them be as chaff before the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on.
6 Lela tuh inkanek lalos in lohsr ac musresre Ke lipufan lun LEUM GOD srunglulosi!
Let their way be dark and slippery, the LORD’s angel pursuing them.
7 Elos filiya mwe kwasrip in sruokyu ke wanginna sripa, Ac elos pukanak luf loal tuh in sruokyu.
For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
8 Tusruktu kunausten ac fah sruokolosi meet liki elos etu; Elos ac fah sremla in kwasrip lalos sifacna Ac putatyang nu in kunausten.
Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
9 Na nga ac fah engan ke sripen LEUM GOD; Nga ac fah engan mweyen El moliyula.
My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 Ke insiuk nufon nga ac fah fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Wangin sie oana kom. Kom loangulosla su munas, liki elos su ku, Ac mwet sukasrup, liki poun mwet funmwet.”
All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
11 Mwet koluk elos orek loh lainyu Ac akkolukyeyu ke ma koluk su wangin etu luk kac.
Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.
12 Elos folokin nu sik ma koluk ke ma wo, Ac forteya nunak luk.
They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
13 A ke elos mas, nga nuknukyang ke nuknuk in asor; Nga lafwekinyu sifacna ac tia eis mwe mongo; Nga kui nwe ten ke nga pre,
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 Oana ngan pre ke sie mwet kawuk luk, ku sie tamulel wiuk. Nga fahsr kui ke asor luk, Oana mwet se su asor ke nina kial sifacna.
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
15 A ke nga muta in ongoiya, elos nukewa engan Ac fahsreni in aksruksrukyeyu; Mwetsac elos puokyu Ac sringilyu.
But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
16 Elos sracsralik nu sik ke kasrkusrak, Oana sie mwet funmwet el aksruksruki sie mwet sukapas.
Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 Leum, putaka kom ac suiyuwi ac tia kasreyu? Karinginyu liki mwet su orek lokoalok nu sik; Moliyula liki lion inge!
Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
18 Na nga fah fahk kulo nu sum in walil lun mwet lom; Nga ac fah kaksakin kom ye mutalos nukewa.
I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you amongst many people.
19 Nikmet lela mwet lokoalok luk, su kikiap, In engankin munas luk. Nikmet lela elos su srungayu ke wangin sripa In pwarkin asor luk.
Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
20 Tuh elos tia kaskas in kulang; A elos kinauk kain in kikiap nukewa ke mwet su lungse suk misla.
For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 Elos akkolukyeyu ac fahk, “Kut liye na ma kom oru!”
Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
22 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, kom liye na ma inge. Nikmet misla, Leum; Nik kom loesla likiyu.
You have seen it, LORD. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.
23 Mukuiyak, O Leum God, ac kasreyu; Tuyak, Leum God luk, ac oru tuh nununku suwohs in wiyu.
Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
24 LEUM GOD, kom suwoswos, ke ma inge akkalemye lah wangin mwetik; Nikmet lela tuh mwet lokoalok luk elos in aksruksrukyeyu.
Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.
25 Nikmet lela elos in fahk insialos mu, “Kut kunausulla! Sun na pwaye lungse lasr!”
Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
26 Finsrak tuh elos nukewa su engankin keok luk In arulana kutangyukla ac akfohsyeyukyak; Lela tuh elos su fahk mu elos wo likiyu In akmwekinyeyuk ac akpusiselyeyuk.
Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonour who magnify themselves against me.
27 Lela tuh elos su wiyu lac, In sasa ke engan ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El fulatlana! El insewowo ke kutangla lun mwet kulansap lal.”
Let those who favour my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
28 Na nga ac fah fahkak ke suwoswos lom, Ac nga ac fah kaksakin kom len nufon.
My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
