Psalms 55
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1(55-1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. (55-2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
1MAI N Kot, kom kotin ereki ai kapakap, o kom der rirwei ja n mon ai n idi n id.
2(55-3) Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
2Kom kotin ma n i ia o kotin jape n ia. Pwe i kin janjalo n jili o ja n eja n ki,
3(55-4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
3Pwe n il en ai imwintiti kin kainjenjued ia o me doo ja n Kot akan kin pakipaki ia; pwe re kin men wia jued o n ia, o re kin kailo n kin ia.
4(55-5) My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
4Mo n io n i majapwekada nan kapek i, o majak en mela lel o n ia.
5(55-6) Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
5Majak o rerer lel don ia; wapon kadupal ia di.
6(55-7) And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
6I apindada: O ma pa I ka dueta pa en muroi, pwen pirwei o mi ekij waja.
7(55-8) Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah
7I ap pan pirla waja doo, o kaukajon jap tan.
8(55-9) I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
8I pan mada n la n wajan moleilei mon melimel o katau.
9(55-10) Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
9Mai n Ieowa, kom kotin kawuk paja n lo arail, o kotin kajore ir ala, pwe i kilekila n , me toun kanim o kin weit o Akamai pena.
10(55-11) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
10Mepukat kin wiaui ni ran o ni po n pon arail kel takai, o a dir en apwal o dodok kan.
11(55-12) Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
11Me jued akan kin kaunda kanim o; o tou a kan jota kin muei ja n likam o kotaue.
12(55-13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
12Ma ai imwintiti pan wia jued o n ia, I jota pan injenoki, o ma me kailo n kin ia pan pei o n ia, I pan ruki ja n mo a.
13(55-14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
13A koe, ai warok, o kompole pa I o kij ai.
14(55-15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
14Pwe kitail minimin penaer nan pu n atail, Kitail wiaki eu nan pu n en pokon nan tanpaj en Kot.
15(55-16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.
15Mela en mada n lel wo n irail, pwe ren lokidokila nan wajan mela ni ar memaur; pwe im arail o lol arail me dir en morjued.
16(55-17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
16A I pan likwir o n Kot, o Ieowa pan kotin jauaja ia.
17(55-18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
17Nin jautik, o ni manja n , o nin jauaj I pan ja n eja n o weiwer, a ap pan kotin ma n i n il ai.
18(55-19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
18A pan kotin dorela n en i ja n ren me men palian ia, o pan kotin kamoleilei ia; pwe ir me toto, me u o n ia.
19(55-20) God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, Selah, such as have no changes, and fear not God.
19Kot pan kotin ereki o kanamenok ir ala, pwe a kotikot eta ja n tapin kaua.
20(55-21) He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
20A jaikidi japwilim a popol akan, o a kawela a inau.
21(55-22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
21Au a me kitentel ja n wi, ap lamelame duen mauin, a lokaia me muterok ja n le, ap rajo n kodlaj ko n , me onopa da n pei.
22(55-23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
22Mueid o n Ieowa, me koe ino n io n , a pan apwali uk ada, a jota pan kotin mueid o n me pu n kan en wukiwuk jili.
23(55-24) But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
23Mai n Kot, kom pan kotin kaje ir Io n o n nan por lol en me jued o; me ino n io n nta o likam kan jota pan lel o n apali en maur arail. A i pan kaporoporeki komui.
