Psalm 16
1 MAING Kot, kom kotin sinsila ia, pwe i liki komui.
A Precious Psalm of David. Preserve me, O GOD, for I have sought refuge in thee.
2 Ngai potoan ong Ieowa: Komui ta ai Kaun, sota eu pai, me i asa, pwe komui eta.
Thou hast said unto Yahweh, My Lord, art thou! My goodness, mounteth not unto thee.
3 O I kin indang saraui kan, me kin mi nan sappa: Met akan pwin isou, me I kin pokepoke sang ni mongiong i.
It belongeth unto the holy ones, whom, in his own land, Yahweh, ennobleth, In whom is all his delight
4 A irail me kin idedauen amen, pan lodi ong apwal toto. I sota mauki arail mairong, me doleki nta, de mar arail I sota pan inda.
They multiply their idols—another, have they purchased! I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor will I take up their names on my lips.
5 A Ieowa ai pai o ai peren; Komui kin kolekol ai soso.
Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot.
6 I diaradar ai pwais en sap kaselel eu, ei pai kaselel eu, me i sosokier.
The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.
7 I kapinga Ieowa, me kotin kalolekong ia; pil ni pong mudilik i kan kin padaki ong ia.
I will bless Yahweh, who hath counselled me, —Surely, by night, shall mine impulses admonish me.
8 I kin ariri Ieowa ansau karos, pwe a kotikot ni pali maun i, i ap sota pan luetala.
I have set Yahweh before me continually, because he is on my right hand, I shall not be shaken!
9 I me mongiong i kin peren kida, o ngen i kin popol, pwe pil pali uduk ai pan moleilei.
Therefore, hath my heart rejoiced, and mine honour exulted, Yea, my flesh, shall settle down securely;
10 Pwe kom sota pan kotin mauki, ngen i en mimieta nan wasan mela, o kom sota pan mueid ong, me sapwilim omui saraui men pan mor pasang. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not abandon my soul to hades, neither wilt thou suffer thy man of lovingkindness, to see corruption: (Sheol h7585)
11 Kom kin kotin kaasa kin ia al maur; peren lapalap mi mon silang omui, o meid lingan ni pali maun en lim omui kokolata.
Thou wilt cause me to know, the path of life, —Fulness of joys before thee, Pleasures at thy right hand evermore.
