Psalms 38

1 MAIN, der kotin kaloke ia ni omui kupur jued, o der kame ia ni omui onion.

O lord, rebuke me not in your wrath: neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

2 Pwe japwilim omui kananan kajik katieu lei don ia, o lim omui katoutou ia.

For your arrows stick fast in me, and your hand presses me sore.

3 Jota mau kot ni pali war ai pweki omui onion, o jota moleilei nan kokon ai kan pweki dip ai

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 Pwe dip ai kin kadupaledi mon ai, re kin katoutou ia dueta meakot me toutou melel.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 Ai ola kan pojuedelaonanan pweki ai pweipwei.

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

6 I kin koj pena o pairok wei alialu, i kin injenjued anjau karoj,

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

7 Pwe lonelon ai monedier melel, o jota mau kot ni pali war ai.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 Nai Iuetalar melel o i wokiwok pajaner. I kin janejan, pweki monion i jota kak moleilei.

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the chaos of my heart.

9 Main, kom kotin mani ai inon karojo ai janejan, o ai jota rir jan komui.

Lord, all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hid from you.

10 Monion i rerer, ai kelail ko janer i, o marain en maj ai pil rotolala.

My heart pants, my strength fails me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 Kompoke pai o ai warok kan kin doo wei jan ia, o juedeki ai kalokolok, o jau i kan kin doo jan ia.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand far off.

12 O me kin inon ion kameia la, kin majmajan ia, o me men wia jued on ia, kin indinda duen ar pan wiada dodok jued, o re kin widwidin anjau karoj.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

13 A nai dueta me jalonepon amen, me jota ron waja, o dueta, o duata me loton, me jota kak jar pajan au a.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opens not his mouth.

14 Nai dueta ol amen me jolar ron waja, o jota depuk en lokaia mi nan au ai.

Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 A I kin awiawi Komui Main ai Kot pan kotin japen ia.

For in you, O LORD, do I hope: you will hear, O Lord my God.

16 Pwe i men, ren der peren kin ia. Ma na I pan krijedi, re pan peren kida melel.

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.

17 Pwe i koren ion pupedi, o ai kalokolok kin koren ion ia anjau karoj.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

18 Pwe I weokada dip ai kano juedeki dip ai.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

19 A ai imwintiti kan memauretat o irail me kelail; me kailon kin ia ni jota karepa me toto.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 O me kin depukki ai me mau me jued, kin palian ia, pweki ai dadaurata me mau.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

21 Ieowa ai Kot, kom der muei jan ia o der doowei jan ia!

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

22 Kom kotin madan don ia, Main jauja pa i.

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
