Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
1MAI N , kom kotin pei o n ir, me kin pei o n ia; o kotin palian o n ir, me kin u o n ia.
2Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
2Re kotin ale pere o tatan mauin ap kotida, pwen jauaja ia.
3Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
3N apekida katieu jauaja ia o n ai imwintiti kan. Kotin majan do n n en i: N ai jauaj pam!
4May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
4Me men kame ia la, en namenokala o kankaururala; o me men wia jued o n ia, en pure wei o jarodi.
5May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
5Ren wiala dueta dip en kijin war akan mon kijinia n , o tounla n en Ieowa jikin irail wei.
6May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
6Al arail en rotorotala o kitentel la, o tounla n en Ieowa o n kotin pakipaki irail.
7For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
7Pwe re injenjara ia, pwen kame ia la, ap jota karepa, o re wia por o n ia, a jota karepa.
8May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
8A en jejeinlek lodi o n kalokolok; o injar me a wiadar, pein i en lodi o n ; o mela o n lel o n i waja o.
9Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
9A n en i en perenki Ieowa o polauleki a kotin jauaja ia.
10All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
10Kokon ai kan karoj pan inda: Mai n , ij me rajo n komui? Pwe kom kotin jauaja me luet o o n me a jota itar o n , o kom kotin jauaja me luet o jamama o n me lolap akan.
11Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
11Jaunkadede likam kai u o n ia, kalelapok re i, me i jota aja due.
12They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
12Re kin depukki me mau me jued, pwen kainjenjuede kin ia.
13Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
13A n ai, ni ar jomau, i puri o n nan tuk en likau, o kaloke pein n ai ni ai kaijejol, o kapakap jan mo n ion i.
14I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
14N ai wiai o n ir dueta o n kompoke pa i o udan ri ai; n ai injenjued dueta amen, me kin loleitki in a.
15But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
15A irail peren kida ai jikilikel o pokon pena. Men lalaue pokon penan ia o jo n en aramaj, me i jaja, kin lalaue ia anjau karoj.
16Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
16Re n i tete o n ia, irail, me kin janjalmau o lalaue pweki kijin ma n a.
17How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
17Mai n , arai da, me kom pan kotin majani mepukat? Dorela n en i ja n arail me jued, o maur ta ieu ia n laien pulepul akan.
18Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
18I pan kapi n a komui nan momodijou laud, o nan pu n en aramaj toto i pan danke komui.
19Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
19Der mueid o n ai imwintiti nin jokarepa, ren peren kin ia, o me kin kailon kin ia nin jokarepa, ren der lalaue ia ki maj arail.
20For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
20Pwe ar lokaia jota kin kareda popol, o re kin madamadaua, en dipi o n me lelapok kan nan jap o.
21They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
21O re jar pajan au arail o n ia indada: Io io, pein kit kila n er.
22O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
22Mai n , kom kotin ma n i mepukat, kom der kotin nenenla, Mai n , kom der doo ja n ia!
23Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
23Kotin opala waja o kipada, pwen kapu n ia la o ai dodok, ai Kot o ai Kaun.
24Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
24Mai n , ai Kot, kotin kapu n ia la duen omui pu n , pwe ren der peren kin ia.
25Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
25Der mueid o n , ren inda nan mo n io n arail: Io, io, i me je men! Der mueid o n , ren inda: Kitail katalalar i.
26May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
26Irail karoj, me peren kida ai apwal akan, en namenokala o kankaurura la, ir me poponmajo o n ia, en likau kida namenok o kankaurur.
27May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
27Irail me kin peren kida ai pu n en n iji n ij o pereperen, o ren inda anjau karoj: Meid kapi n a o n Ieowa, me kin perenki jauaja japwilim a ladu o,
28Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
28O lo i en kapakaparok duen omui pu n , o kapi n a komui ran karoj.
