< Psalm 32 >

1 [Psalm lal David] Insewowo elos su ma koluk lalos nunak munas nu selos, Su ma koluk lalos tuleyukla.
The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.
2 Insewowo el su LEUM GOD El tia esam orekma tafongla lal Ac su wangin kutasrik in el.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Ke nga tuh tia fahkak ma koluk luk, Nga foroti ke nga tung len nufon.
Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.
4 LEUM GOD, kom kaiyu ke len ac fong; Ku luk wanginla na pwaye, Oana ke aunfong uh wanginla ke pacl fol.
For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
5 Na nga fahkak ma koluk luk nu sum; Nga tia okanla orekma koluk luk. Nga sulela in fahkak nu sum, Ac kom nunak munas ke ma koluk luk nukewa.
I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
6 Ke ma inge, lela mwet inse pwaye lom nukewa in pre nu sum in pacl in enenu; Tuh in pacl ma koluk tuku oana sronot, Ac fah tia ku in sonolos.
For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
7 Kom nien wikla luk; Kom ac fah moliyu in pacl in ongoiya. Nga onkakin molela lom ke pusra lulap Tuh kom karinginyu.
You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah lun kom inkanek kom in fahsr kac; Nga fah aketeya nu sum ac kasrekom.
I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
9 Nik kom lalfon oana soko horse ku soko miul, Su enenu sie mwe kapir inwalulos Ac soko sucl in kifasulos.”
Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
10 Fal mwet koluk in keok, A elos su lulalfongi in LEUM GOD Elos karinginyuk ke lungse kawil lal.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
11 Kowos su suwoswos, kowos in engan ac insewowo Ke sripen orekma lun LEUM GOD. Kowos su aksol, kowos in sasa ke engan!
Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.
