Psalms 81
1 Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
[Psalm lal Asaph] Srukak pusren engan nu sin God, su loangekut, Yuk on in kaksak nu sin God lal Jacob!
2 Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
Mutawauk on, ac srital ke tambourine, Sritalkin pusra wowo lun harp ac lyre.
3 Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
Ukya mwe ukuk ke pacl in kufwa — Ke pacl in alwut, ac ke pacl in mwesr.
4 [Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
Pa inge ma sap in acn Israel, Ma oakwuk sin God lal Jacob.
5 He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
El sang ma sap inge nu sin mwet Israel Ke El mweuni facl Egypt. Nga lohng sie pusra nga tia etu su fahk,
6 “[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
“Nga eisla ma toasr liki finpisowos; Nga aksukosokye pouwos liki orekma upa.
7 When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
Ke kowos muta in ongoiya kowos pang nu sik, ac nga molikowosla; Nga topuk kowos liki nien muta lukma luk ke paka, Ac nga srike kowos ke unon in kof Meribah.
8 [You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
Mwet luk, porongo kas in sensenkakin luk, O Israel, nga kena tuh kowos in porongeyu!
9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
Kowos in tiana alu nu sin kutena god saya.
10 I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
Nga LEUM GOD lowos, Su uskowosme liki acn Egypt. Oalngelik oaluwos ac nga fah kite kowos.
11 But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
“Tuh mwet luk elos tiana porongeyu. Israel tiana akosyu.
12 So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
Ke ma inge nga fuhlela elos in fahsrna ke moul likkeke lalos uh, Ac oru oana lungse lalos.
13 I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
Nga arulana ke mwet luk in porongeyu, Ac akosyu.
14 [If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
Na nga fah sa in kutangla mwet lokoalok lalos Ac nga fah sruokya mwet lainulos nukewa.
15 [Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
Elos su srungayu fah sangeng ac epasr ye mutuk, Kai luk nu selos fah oan ma pahtpat.
16 [But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
Tusruktu nga ac fah kite kowos ke wheat na wowo, Ac akkihpye kowos ke honey inima uh.”
