אהבת עולם בית ישראל עמך אהבת. תורה ומצות חקים ומשפטים אותנו למדת. על כן ד אלהינו בשכבנו ובקומנו נשיח בחקיך. ונשמח בדברי תורתך ובמצותך לעולם ועד:
כי הם חיינו וארך ימינו ובהם נהגה יומם ולילה:
ואהבתך אל תסיר ממנו לעולמים.
ברוךְ אתה ד'. אוהב עמו ישראל:

*fixed grammatical errors concerning pi as pointed out by janMato*

tenpo ale la sina olin e kulupu pi jan Jawatu. sina sona e nasin pona
tawa mi mute. lape en kama(?)la mi mute li toki e nasin pona sina. mi
mute li musi poka nasin pona sona. nasin pona sona li lon e mi
mute. suno en mun la mi mute li pilin e nasin pona. tenpo ale la mi mute
li olin e sina. sina olin e kulupu pi jan Jawatu li wawa.

Juxtaposition for possessives, not usually pi. <-- edit. Wrong. Not supported by corpus. Sorry.

I'm predicting someday there will be well defined situations when the final pi-phrase is followed by one word, but it hasn't been worked out yet. For the moment, the final pi-phrase needs to be followed by 2 words (middle pi-phrases might be followed by only 1)

What did you have in mind for "lape en kama la"?

Ah yes, I forgot that rule. ^_^

The phrase used in the benediction is essentially "Therefore in our laying downs and in our risings shall we be joyous in your statutes." I thought of using tenpo ale la, but I didn't feel like it expressed the significance of what the original was trying to say, even though indeed it would have been less ambiguous.

pona.

Then it would be something like
lape en lape ala la
or
lapa en sewi la

or more literally ('lape' is for resting):
anpa en sewi

Even 'kama supa en kama sinpin'
