Psalm 31

1 [Psalm lal David] Nga tuku nu yurum, LEUM GOD, in wikla yurum; Tia lela in kutangyukla nga. Kom sie God suwoswos; Nga pre nu sum tuh kom in moliyula!

Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.

2 Lohngyu, ac moliyula inge! Kom in eot ku luk, yen nga in wikla we, Sie pot ku in loangeyu.

Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.

3 Kom nien wikla luk ac mwe loango luk; Pwenyu ac kolyu in oana wulela lom.

For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.

4 Karinginyu liki mwe kwasrip akoeyukla nu sik; Lisringyuyak liki mwe ongoiya.

Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.

5 Nga sifacna eisyuwot nu inpoum. Kom fah moliyula, LEUM GOD, Tuh kom sie God oaru.

Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.

6 Kom srungalos su alu nu sin god kikiap, A nga lulalfongi in kom.

Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:

7 Nga fah engan ac kaksak Ke sripen lungse kawil lom. Kom liye luman keok luk, Ac kom etu mwe ongoiya nu sik.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.

8 Kom tia lela tuh mwet lokoalok luk in sruokyuwi; Kom ase sukosok nu sik in fahsr nu yen nga lungse fahsr nu we.

And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.

9 LEUM GOD, pakomutuk, Tuh nga muta in ongoiya; Mutuk fafwak ke tung luk; Nga arulana totola.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:

10 Nga foroti ke asor, Ac tung luk akfototoyela moul luk. Nga munasla ke sripen mwe akfohs puspis nu sik; Finne sri keik uh munasla pac.

For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.

11 Mwet lokoalok luk nukewa, ac yokna mwet tulan luk, Elos orek angonkas nu sik; Elos su eteyu elos sangeng sik; Ke elos liyeyu inkanek uh, elos kaing.

I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.

12 Mwet nukewa elos mulkinyula, oana nga in misa tari. Nga oana sie ma sisila.

I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.

13 Nga lohng ke mwet lokoalok luk elos mahma; Mwe aksangeng rauniyula. Elos orek pwapa in lainyu, Ac suk in uniyuwi.

For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.

14 Tusruktu lulalfongi luk uh oasr in kom, LEUM GOD; Kom God luk.

But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.

15 Moul luk nufon oan inpoum; Moliyula liki poun mwet lokoalok luk, Liki elos su akkeokyeyu.

My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.

16 Ngetnget in kulang nu sin mwet kulansap lom; Moliyula ke lungse kawil lom.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.

17 Nga pang nu sum, LEUM GOD, Tia lela tuh nga in akmwekinyeyuk. Lela tuh mwet koluk in akmwekinyeyuk; Lela tuh elos in mislana som nu in facl sin mwet misa. (Sheol h7585)

Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. (Sheol h7585)

18 Kaliya oalin mwet kikiap — Elos su filang ac inse fulat, Su kaskas in akkolukye mwet suwoswos.

Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.

19 Fuka yokiyen ma wo su kom elosak Nu selos su sunakin kom! Mwet nukewa etu lupan wo kom, Ac ouiyen karinginyuk ku lom nu selos su lulalfongi kom.

O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.

20 Kom okanulosla yurum Liki pwapa koluk lun mwet; Ac in sie acn misla kom okanulosla Liki kas in akkoluk lun mwet lokoalok lalos.

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.

21 Kaksakin LEUM GOD! Fuka lupan woiya ke El akkalemye lungse lal nu sik, Ke pacl mwet lokoalok luk rauniyula in mweuniyu!

Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.

22 Nga tuh sangeng ac nunku mu El sisyula liki ye mutal. Tusruktu El lohng pusren tung luk Ke nga pang nu sel in kasreyu.

But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.

23 Lungse LEUM GOD, kowos mwet oaru lal nukewa, Tuh LEUM GOD El karinganang mwet oaru, A El arulana kaelos su filang.

O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.

24 Kowos in ku na, ac pulaik na, Kowos nukewa su oasr finsrak lowos in LEUM GOD.

Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
