Psalms 129

1 IJRAEL en inda: Re katoutou ia melel jan ni ai tikitik lel met pak toto.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

2 Pan pak toto re katoutou ia melel jan ni ai tikitik lel met; ari jo, re jota kak kaloe ia di.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 Men japajap weirada pon tinjau ai, wiadar warawar reirei.

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 A Ieowa me pun, a kotin lepuk pajaner jal en me doo jan Kot akan.

Yhwh is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Karoj me kin tataki Jion, en jarodi o tanwei!

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Ren rajon ra pon oj en im o, me kin mon pena mon a pan ujujda!

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 Me jota kin kadirela kumut en pa en jaundolun, de pa en me kin pir pena kap akan.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 Pwe me kin daulul waja o, ren der inda: Kot en kotin kupura maui komail! Kit kapai komail da ni mar en Ieowa!

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of Yhwh be upon you: we bless you in the name of Yhwh.
