Psalms 4
1 KOT kapun pa i, kom kotin mani ia ni ai likelikwir. Pwe kom kin kotin kamait ia la ni ai anjau apwal. Kom kotin maki on ia o mani ai kapakap.
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
2 Komail jaumaj akan! Arai da mar ai pan jujued? Arai da omail pok on me mal kot, o omail perenki likam? (Jela)
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
3 Komail lolekonala, ap aja, me Ieowa kotin piladar japwilim a lelapok o. Ieowa kin kotin mani ia ni ai likelikwir on i.
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
4 Ni omail makar, komail der wia dip. Komail madamadauaki monion omail ni omail wendi pon loj o ap auiaui. (Jela)
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 Komail maironki mairon pun o liki Ieowa.
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Me toto kin inda: Ij me pan kajale on kitail me mau kan? A Ieowa, kom kotin kamaraine kin kit marain en jilan omui!
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 Komui kotin kaperenda monion i laud jan anjaun arail wain o korn me toto.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
8 I kin wonon o mamair ni popol; pwe komui ta Main, me kotin jauaj a ia da, pwe i en kak moleilei.
In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
