Nafe, the Language of the Ni Vanuatu on Tanna

I thought you might enjoy this, I did. 
One of my favorite verses and one I pray often is:


"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart 
Be acceptable in Your sight, 
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer."  Psalm 19:14 


I asked Erik to translate it for me, and he did.


lerumanu seion 
nagkiariien mesamame iakani ia tarhuk,
mene nerhiien me rerok ramerhi 
iakokeiker muairahu tuhatak watukere
ia nanronem, mho ik renen rageen 


My Lord, 
The words which I speak with my lips, 
and the thoughts my heart thinks about, 
I want that they will be straight in your eyes,
making You glad.. 


I'm always blessed to see God's Word in Nafe...
