Psalms 10
1 Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
O LEUM GOD, efu kom muta loesla? Efu kom wikinkomla liki kut in pacl upa nu sesr?
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
Mwet koluk elos filang ac akkeokye mwet sukasrup; Sruokolosi ke mwe kwasrip ma elos sifacna orala.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
Mwet koluk elos filangkin lungse koluk lalos; Mwet rapku elos fahk kas in selnga ac pilesru LEUM GOD.
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
Mwet koluk elos tia nunku ke LEUM GOD; Ke inse fulat lalos elos nunku mu God El wangin sripa.
5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
Mwet koluk elos eis wo ouiya in ma nukewa. Elos tia ku in kalem ke nununku lun God; Elos israsrinkusrai mwet lokoalok lalos.
6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
Elos sifacna nunku insialos mu, “Kut fah tiana sun koluk ouiya; Kut fah tiana muta in ongoiya.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Sramsram lalos sessesla ke kas in selnga, kas kikiap, ac kas in aksangeng; Elos sa in fahk kas koluk ma srungayuk.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
Elos wikwik in siti srisrik, Ac soano in akmuseya mwet wangin mwata. Elos kasriki mwet munas;
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
Elos wikwik in nien wikwik lalos oana lion uh. Elos muta soano mwet sukasrup; Elos sruokolosi ke mwe kwasrip lalos ac amakunulosla.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
Mwet sulallal elos atuyang nu fin mwet munas Ac toasriyalos toanelosi na elos itungyuki oan.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
Mwet koluk elos sifacna nunku insialos, “God El pilesru ma inge! El kaliya mutal ac El tia ku in liye!”
12 Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand! Do not forget the helpless.
O LEUM GOD, sang kaiyuk nu sin mwet koluk ingan! Esamulos su akkeokyeyuk!
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God will not call me into account”?
Fuka tuh mwet koluk uh ku in pilesru God Ac fahk insialos sifacna mu, “El ac fah tia kai kut”?
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
Tusruktu kom liye na. Kom akilen na ongoiya ac keok lun mwet, Ac kom akola in kasru pacl e nukewa. Mwet munas elos eisaloswot nu sum; Kom kasrelos su enenu in pacl e nukewa.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Kunausla ku lun mwet koluk ac mwet sulallal; Kaelos ke ma koluk elos oru Nwe ke elos tia sifil oru.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
LEUM GOD El tokosra nu tok ma pahtpat. Elos su alu nu sin kutena god saya Ac fah wanginla liki facl sin God.
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
O LEUM GOD, kom fah porongo pre lun mwet fakpap; Kom fah akpulaikyalos.
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
Kom ac fah lohng tung lun mwet mwemelil ac mwet mukaimtal; Nununku lom ac fah wo nu selos, Tuh mwet faclu fah tia sifil aksangengyalos.
