John 10:22–30 ESV

At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

Thursday December 1 Kalweni In Sruhmuhn Wolacna Lun God Psa 103: 1-12 [RECOUNTING GOD’S GOODNESS]

Psalm 103:1–12 (ESV)

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits,

who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

who satisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

He made known his ways to Moses,

his acts to the people of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

He will not always chide,

nor will he keep his anger forever.

He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

[Psalm lal David]

Lungse Lun God

1 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, O ngunik!

Ma nukewa in nga, in kaksakin Ine mutal lal!

2 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, O ngunik,

Ac tia mulkunla lupan kulang lal.

A. THE MERCIES [OF GOD (vv.1-5)

3 El nunak munas ke ma koluk luk nukewa

Ac akkeyala mas luk nukewa.

[THE LORD HAS COMPASSION, 4, 8]

4 El moliyula liki misa

Ac akinsewowoyeyu ke lungse ac pakoten.

5 El akkihpye moul luk ke ma wo

Tuh nga in fusr na ac ku oana sie won eagle.

6  LEUM GOD El oru nununku lal in wi layen lun mwet akkeokyeyuk,

El oru tuh nununku suwohs in orek nu selos.

7 El akkalemye inkanek lal nu sel Moses

Ac lela tuh mwet Israel in liye orekma kulana lal.

8  LEUM GOD El kulang ac pakoten,

El tia sa in mulat, ac yoklana lungkulang lal.

[vv. 6-8],

a. First, David recalled the Lord’s covenant with Moses.

b. After a word of praise for the Lord’s righteousness,

David said that God revealed Himself to Moses and Moses’ people as compassionate and gracious God, who,

therefore slow to anger and abounds in covenant loyalty (love, hesed; cf. 103:4, 11, 17).

Verse 8, “LEUM GOD El kulang ac pakoten, El tia sa in mulat, ac yoklana lungkulang lal.”

Based on God’s words to Moses on Mount Sinai (Ex:34:6; cf Neh 9:17)

Because of these attributes God is[vfaithful to His people and will deliver them from oppression.

------------------------------------------------

[vv. 9-12] - David then explained that the Lord mercifully forgives sins.

9 El ac tia kaiyuk pacl nukewa,

El tia kolla mulat lal nwe tok.

10 El tia kai kut fal nu ke ma koluk lasr,

Ku ase nu sesr ma fal nu ke orekma koluk lasr.

11 Tuh lungse lun God nu selos su sunakunul

Oana fulatan kusrao nu faclu.

12 El usla ma koluk lasr loes liki kut,

Oana lusen kutulap lac nwe roto.

[EXPOUND]

David then explained that the Lord mercifully forgives sins.

Because God is slow to anger (v.8), He does not always accuse a man of sin nor deal with him according to his sins.

And because of His great…love (cf. vv. 4, 8, 17),

He completely separates sins from the sinners by forgiving them.

[DEMONSTRATION OF THE MERCIES OF GOD]

MATTHEW 17:15, BIBLE MUTAL, “Jesus El Akkeyala Sie Tulik Mukul Su Oasr Demon Yorol”

------------------------------------------------

Friday December 2 Lungse Kawihl Lun God Psa 103: 13-22, [BIBLE MUTAL], “ 13  LEUM GOD El pakomutalos su akfulatyal,

Oana ke sie papa el pakomuta tulik natul.

14 God El etu lah mea kut orekla kac,

El esam lah kut orekla ke kutkut.*

[He knows how frail the nature of man]

15 A funu mwet uh, moul lasr uh oana mah.

Kut kapak ac farngelik oana ros inimae,

16 Na eng tuhyak nu faclos ac elos wanginla

Ac tia sifil liyeyuk.

17 A nu selos su sangeng sin LEUM GOD, lungse lal oan nu tok ma pahtpat,

Ac suwoswos lal nu sin fwil nu ke fwil —

18 Nu selos su karinganang wuleang lal

Ac oaru in akos ma sap lal.

[vv.13-18]

IN THESE VERSES, DAVID WROTE THAT THOUGH MAN’S LIFE IS TRANSITORY, HE IS ESTABLISHED BY THE LORD’S COVENANT. (cf. 4, 8) on His frail people (v. 13) for He knows how frail the nature of man is (vv. 14-16).

a. Man’s life is transitory (not permanent),

b. however, he is established by the Lord’s covenant.

c. The Lord has compassion (cf. vv. 4, 8) on His frail people (v. 13) for He knows how frail the nature of man is (vv. 14-16).

[v.4, 8; THE LORD HAS COMPASSION]

v. 4, “4 El moliyula liki misa

Ac akinsewowoyeyu ke lungse ac pakoten.”

v.8, :8  LEUM GOD El kulang ac pakoten,

El tia sa in mulat, ac yoklana lungkulang lal.”

[Man is made of insignificant dust (Gen. 2:7, BIBLE MUTAL), “7 Na LEUM GOD El eis kutu fohk liki infohk uh ac lumahla mwet† se kac. El mongyang nu infwen mwet sac ke momong in moul, ac mwet sac moul.”

And his life is brief like the grass (cf. Pss 37:2, [BIBLE MUTAL], “2 Tuh elos ac fah sa in wanginla oana mah,

Ac uli oana mahsrik.”

NEVERTHELESS FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING THE LORD’S COVENANT LOVE (cf. Ps. 103, 4, 8, 11) IS WITH THOSE WHO OBEY HIM.

HERE AGAIN (cf. 102:24-27), THE ETERNALITY OF THE LORD IS SEEN AS A COMFORT FOR FRAIL HUMAN BEINGS.

MAN’S HOPE IS NOT IN OTHER FRAGILE CREATURES, BUT IN THE ETERNAL GOD.

-------------------------------------

[vv. 19-22] - THE PRAIS OF GOD

19  LEUM GOD El oakiya tron lal inkusrao;

El tokosra fin ma nukewa.

20 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, kowos lipufan kulana lal,

Su akos sap ku lal,

Ac porongo kas lal.

21 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, kowos un mwet ku lal inkusrao,

Kowos mwet kulansap lal, su oru lungse lal.

22 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, kowos su ma orekla lal

In acn nukewa el leumi.

Kaksakin LEUM GOD, O ngunik!

[EXPOUND]

David declared that the Lord’s dominion is over all the earth.

Therefore all angels, God’s heavenly hosts, who are His servants, and all His Creation (His works) everywhere should praise the LORD. [MAN EL ORELLA YEN NUKEWA IN KAKSAKUNUL].

David closed his psalm in the way he began:

by exhorting himself (O my soul) to praise the LORD.

[EXHORTING HIMSELF (O MY SOUL)

1 Kaksakin LEUM GOD, O ngunik!

Ma nukewa in nga, in kaksakin Ine mutal lal!”
