Tingtoeng 69
1 [David kah Tuilipai te aka mawt ham] Tui loh ka hinglu te ham pha dongah Pathen aw kai n'khang lah.
For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are threatening my life.
2 Sihnok laedil la ka buek tih tungtainah om kolla tui dung la ka pha voek dongah tuili loh kai n'yo coeng.
I am sunk in depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms me.
3 Ka pang te khaw ka kohnue coeng. Ka olrhong khaw koh coeng. Ka Pathen te ka lamtawn ah ka mik kha coeng.
I am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for God.
4 Lunglilungla la ka lunguet rhoek tah ka lu dongkah sam lakah yet. A honghi mai neh kai aka biit ka thunkha rhoek loh yet uh. Ka huen pawt te ka sah.
More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
5 Ka anglat te Pathen namah loh na ming tih ka dumlai he nang taeng lamloh a thuh uh moenih.
O God, you know my folly, my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah, nang aka lamtawn rhoek te kai kong ah yahpok uh boel saeh. Israel Pathen nang aka tlap rhoek te kai kong ah a hmaithae uh boel saeh.
Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O God of Israel.
7 Nang ham te kokhahnah ka phueih tih ka maelhmai he mingthae loh a dah.
It’s in your cause that I have borne taunts, and my face has been covered with shame;
8 Ka pacaboeina rhoek taengah ka hlanglak tih ka manu ca rhoek taengah ka kholong.
I became to my kindred a foreigner, to my mother’s sons a stranger.
9 Na im thatlainah dongah kai n'yoop tih nang aka veet rhoek kah kokhahnah khaw kai soah tla.
It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon me.
10 Te dongah ka hinglu kah yaehnah neh ka rhap dae kai taengah kokhahnah la pawk.
When I chastened myself with fasting, they took occasion to taunt me.
11 Ka tlamhni pueinak ka bai vaengah amih ham thuidoeknah la ka om.
When I put on a garment of sackcloth, they made me the theme of a taunt-song.
12 Vongka kah aka ngol rhoek loh kai taengah lolmang a taeng uh tih yu o rhoek kah rhotoeng la ka om khoeng.
Those who sit in the gate make sport of me in the music of drunken songs.
13 Tedae Pathen kah kolonah tue vaengah, kai loh BOEIPA nang taengah ka thangthuinah te, na sitlohnah cangpai dongah namah kah khangnah oltak neh kai nan doo.
But I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favour. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me
14 Tangnong khui lamkah kai n'huul lamtah m'buek sak boeh. Ka lunguet neh tui dung lamkah n'huul lah.
from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep deep waters,
15 Tuili tui loh kai n'yo boel saeh lamtah a laedil la kai n'yoop boel saeh. Tangrhom loh kai a ka n'khuep thil boel saeh.
that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon me.
16 Na sitlohnah a then dongah kai n'doo lah BOEIPA. Na haidamnah cungkuem neh kai taengla ha mael lah.
Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.
17 Te dongah na maelhmai te na sal taeng lamkah thuh boel mai. Ka taengah n'daengdaeh dongah a loe la kai n'doo dae.
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; O answer me speedily.
18 Ka hinglu taengla ha yoei lamtah n'tlan dae. Ka thunkha rhoek kongah kai n'lat dae.
Draw near to me, redeem me; because of my enemies, ransom me.
19 Namah loh kai kah kokhahnah, yahpohnah, ka mingthae neh na hmaikah kai aka daengdaeh boeih khaw na ming.
You know how I am insulted; in your sight are all my foes.
20 Kokhahnah dongah ka lungbuei rhek tih ka mangoeng sut. Te dongah aka suem ham ka lamtawn dae om pawt tih, aka hloep ham khaw ka hmu pawh.
Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none.
21 Ka buh dongah anrhat han hlum uh tih ka tuihalh vaengkah ham a thuui n'tul uh.
Poison they gave me for food, and to slake my thirst they gave vinegar.
22 Amih kah caboei te amih mikhmuh ah pael la, rhoepnah te hlaeh la om pah saeh.
May their table, outspread, be a trap to them, and their peace-offerings be a snare.
23 Amih kah mik te a tueng khui lamkah hmuep saeh lamtah a cinghen khaw khun yoeyah saeh.
May their eyes be darkened and blind, make them shake without ceasing.
24 Amih te na kosi lun thil lamtah na thintoek thinsa loh amih te doom saeh.
Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
25 Amih kah lumim te kho pong la om saeh lamtah a dap ah khosa hlang om boel saeh.
May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
26 Na ngawn te a hloem uh tih na rhok kah nganboh te a tae uh.
For those whom you struck, they persecute, and those whom you wounded, they pain yet more.
27 Thaesainah te amamih kah thaesainah neh a koei dongah nang kah duengnah te bawn uh boel saeh.
Charge them with sin upon sin, may they not be acquitted by you.
28 Hingnah cabu khui lamkah phae lamtah hlang dueng rhoek neh hmaih daek boeh.
From the book of life be they blotted, may their names not be written with the righteous.
29 Tedae kai mangdaeng thakkhoeih he, Pathen namah kah khangnah neh n'hoeptlang lah.
Lift me, O God, by your help above my pain and misery.
30 Lumlaa neh Pathen ming te ka thangthen vetih amah te uemonah neh ka pomsang puei ni.
Then will I praise God in song and magnify him with thanksgiving,
31 Te daengah ni BOEIPA ham vaito vaitotal ki cawn neh khomae aka rhak lakah a uemo eh.
which shall please the Lord better than ox, or than bullock with horns and hoofs.
32 Kodo rhoek loh a hmuh vetih a kohoe uh ni. Pathen aka tlap rhoek, nangmih thinko ah hing van saeh.
The oppressed shall rejoice at the sight. You who seek after God, let your heart revive.
33 BOEIPA loh khodaeng rhoek te a yaak tih a thongtla rhoek khaw a hnoel moenih.
For the Lord listens to the poor, he does not despise his prisoners.
34 Vaan rhoek neh diklai loh, tuitunli rhoek neh a khuiah aka yuel boeih loh BOEIPA amah te thangthen uh saeh.
Let the heavens and the earth sing his praises, the seas, and all creatures that move in them.
35 Pathen loh Zion a khang ni. Judah khopuei rhoek te a sak vaengah kho a sak vetih pahoi a pang uh ni.
For God will bring help to Zion, and build up the cities of Judah, his people shall live there in possession.
36 A sal rhoek kah a tiingan long khaw a pang uh vetih a ming aka lungnah rhoek loh a khuiah kho a sak uh.
His servants’ children shall have it for heritage, and those who love him shall live therein.
