Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.
1Nga pa sie su pula tari kalyeiyuk sin God.
2He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness instead of light.
2El pwenyu ac sap nga in som nu yen lohsr matoltol.
3Indeed, He keeps turning His hand against me all day long.
3El sringilyu na sringilyu ke sringsring na upa.
4He has worn away my flesh and skin; He has shattered my bones.
4El kanteya monuk ac kinet keik oan mangelik, ac el koteya sri keik.
5He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
5El kuhlusyuyak ke mwe keok ac fosrnga lulap.
6He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
6El patokyula in muta in acn na lohsrlosr ac foulin ma misa oan we.
7He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
7El kapriyuwi ke sein; nga sie mwet kapir su wangin finsrak la in kaingla.
8Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.
8Nga wowoyak nu lucng in suk kasru, tusruktu God El tia lungse porongeyu.
9He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
9Nga tukulkul ke nga fahsr, ac pot eot uh kosreyula yen nukewa nga for nu we.
10He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.
10El kasrikiyu oana soko bear; el sroma nu fuk oana soko lion.
11He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.
11El ukweyuyak liki inkanek uh, seseya monuk nu ke ip srisrik, na El som likiyu.
12He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
12El amakinya mwe pisr natul ah, ac oru tuh in nga pa El akola in pisrik uh.
13He pierced my kidneys with His arrows.
13El pusrukma sukan pisr natul, na liksreni tilyang nu in monuk.
14I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.
14Mwet uh isrunyu len nufon se; nga mwe tafunkas nu selos nukewa.
15He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
15Mwe keok upa mukena pa El ase tuh in mwe mongo nak ac ma nimuk.
16He has ground my teeth with gravel and trampled me in the dust.
16El ilya mutuk infohk uh, ac kotalik wihsik fin eot uh.
17My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
17Nga tila esam lah mea kalmen misla ku engan uh.
18So I say, “My strength has perished, along with my hope from the LORD.”
18Tiana loes pacl lula ke moul luk; wanginla finsrak luk in LEUM GOD .
19Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
19Nunak luk ke waiok luk ac ke wangin acn in muta luk uh, oana sie pwasin na mwen.
20Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.
20Nga tia tui in nunku kac, ac ngunik toasrlana.
21Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:
21Tusruktu finsrak luk sifilpa foloko ke nga esamak ma se inge:
22Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
22Lungse kawil ac pakoten lun LEUM GOD uh tiana wanginla;
23They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
23Aksasuyeyuk ke lotutang nukewa, ac arulana oaru oana takak lun faht uh ke len nukewa.
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
24LEUM GOD mukena pa oasr yuruk uh; ke ma inge El na pa mwe finsrak luk.
25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
25LEUM GOD El wo nu sin mwet nukewa su lulalfongi in El.
26It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
26Ke ma inge, wo tuh kut in mongfisrasr in tupan molela lal —
27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
27Oayapa wo kut in akpahye kut in mongfisrasr ke pacl kut fusr uh.
28Let him sit alone in silence, for God has disciplined him.
28In pacl kut keok uh, kut enenu in mukena muta misla ac muteng.
29Let him bury his face in the dust— perhaps there is still hope.
29Kut enenu in pasrla nwe ten ac eiskutyang nu sel, tuh sahp srakna oasr finsrak.
30Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
30Finne puopo ac akkolukyeyuk kut, enenu kut in mislana.
31For the Lord will not cast us off forever.
31Leum El pakoten ac El fah tia siskutlana nwe tok.
32Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
32Sahp El ac akasorye kut, tusruktu lungse lal nu sesr pwayena ac ku na.
33For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
33El tia insewowo in oru kut in asor ku waiok.
34To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,
34Leum El etu pacl ngunasr akkeokyeyuk in presin uh;
35to deny a man justice before the Most High,
35El etu ke pacl ma mwet uh tia ase suwohs lasr ma El oakiya nu sesr.
36to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
36Ke pacl ma nununku suwohs uh tia orek, El etu.
37Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
37Ma lungse lun Leum mukena pa orek pacl nukewa.
38Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
38Ma wo ac ma koluk kewana ac orekla fal nu ke sap lal.
39Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?
39Efu ku kut in torkaskas ke kalyeiyuk kut ke ma koluk lasr?
40Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
40Lela kut in tuni ouiyen orekma lasr ac folokla nu yurin LEUM GOD .
41Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
41Lela kut in ikasla insiasr nu sin God inkusrao, ac pre ac fahk,
42“We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
42“Kut orekma koluk ac lain kom, O LEUM GOD , ac kom tiana nunak munas nu sesr.
43You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
43“Kom ukwe kut ac unikuti; kasrkusrak lom tuh kosrala pakoten lom,
44You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
44Ke sie pukunyeng su arulana matoltol, oru pre lasr tia ku in sasla nu yurum.
45You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
45Kom orekut oana acn in sisi kutkut lun faclu.
46All our enemies open their mouths against us.
46“Angonyuk kut ac aksruksrukiyuk kut sin mwet lokoalok lasr nukewa.
47Panic and pitfall have come upon us— devastation and destruction.
47Ma lasr nukewa kunausyukla ac sikiyukla; kut muta in sensen ac sangeng.
48Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.
48Sroninmutuk soror oana soko infacl ke sripen kunausyukla mwet luk.
49My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,
49“Sroninmutuk ac fah kahkkakla ac tia tui
50until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
50Nwe ke LEUM GOD El ngeti inkusrao me ac liye kut.
51My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
51Insiuk arulana asor ke nga liye ma sikyak nu sin mutan in siti uh.
52Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
52“Srifusryuki nga oana sie won sin mwet lokoalok, su wanginna sripa lalos in srungayu.
53They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
53Nga moul na ac elos sisyuyang nu in luf se, ac kaliya mutun luf uh ke sie eot lulap.
54The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
54Kof uh mutawauk in afinyula, ac nga nunku mu misa apkuranme.
55I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
55“Nga wowoyak nu sum, O LEUM GOD , liki kapin luf sac me,
56You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
56Ac ke nga kwafe sum in lohng tung luk, kom porongeyu.
57You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
57Kom topukyu ac fahk nu sik nga in tia sangeng.
58You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
58“O Leum, kom tuku in loangeyu, ac kom molela moul luk.
59You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
59Oru nununku lom an in wo nu sik; kom etu ma sufal ma orek lainyu inge.
60You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
60Kom etu luman srunga lun mwet lokoalok luk nu sik, ac pwapa koluk elos oru in lainyu.
61O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
61“Kom lohng ke elos fahk kas in purakak lainyu, O LEUM GOD ; kom etu pwapa koluk nukewa lalos.
62the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
62Elos kaskas keik ac oru akoo koluk lalos len nufon.
63When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
63Elos isrunyu ke lotutang lac nwe ke fongeni.
64You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
64“O LEUM GOD , kalyaelos ke ma elos oru inge.
65Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them!
65Oru sie selnga na upa nu faclos, ac oru nunkalos in arulana fosrngala.
66You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD.
66Sokolosyak ac sukelosla liki fin faclu.”
