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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “Lilies.” By David. Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!
2 Sihnok laedil la ka buek tih tungtainah om kolla tui dung la ka pha voek dongah tuili loh kai n'yo coeng.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow 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 with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my 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.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
5 Ka anglat te Pathen namah loh na ming tih ka dumlai he nang taeng lamloh a thuh uh moenih.
God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t 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.
Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Hosts. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonour through me, God of Israel.
7 Nang ham te kokhahnah ka phueih tih ka maelhmai he mingthae loh a dah.
Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.
8 Ka pacaboeina rhoek taengah ka hlanglak tih ka manu ca rhoek taengah ka kholong.
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.
9 Na im thatlainah dongah kai n'yoop tih nang aka veet rhoek kah kokhahnah khaw kai soah tla.
For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
10 Te dongah ka hinglu kah yaehnah neh ka rhap dae kai taengah kokhahnah la pawk.
When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.
11 Ka tlamhni pueinak ka bai vaengah amih ham thuidoeknah la ka om.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
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 talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.
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 as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.
14 Tangnong khui lamkah kai n'huul lamtah m'buek sak boeh. Ka lunguet neh tui dung lamkah n'huul lah.
Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the 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.
Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Na sitlohnah a then dongah kai n'doo lah BOEIPA. Na haidamnah cungkuem neh kai taengla ha mael lah.
Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.
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.
Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!
18 Ka hinglu taengla ha yoei lamtah n'tlan dae. Ka thunkha rhoek kongah kai n'lat dae.
Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
19 Namah loh kai kah kokhahnah, yahpohnah, ka mingthae neh na hmaikah kai aka daengdaeh boeih khaw na ming.
You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonour. My adversaries are all before you.
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.
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.
21 Ka buh dongah anrhat han hlum uh tih ka tuihalh vaengkah ham a thuui n'tul uh.
They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Amih kah caboei te amih mikhmuh ah pael la, rhoepnah te hlaeh la om pah saeh.
Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
23 Amih kah mik te a tueng khui lamkah hmuep saeh lamtah a cinghen khaw khun yoeyah saeh.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.
24 Amih te na kosi lun thil lamtah na thintoek thinsa loh amih te doom saeh.
Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Amih kah lumim te kho pong la om saeh lamtah a dap ah khosa hlang om boel saeh.
Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
26 Na ngawn te a hloem uh tih na rhok kah nganboh te a tae uh.
For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
27 Thaesainah te amamih kah thaesainah neh a koei dongah nang kah duengnah te bawn uh boel saeh.
Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
28 Hingnah cabu khui lamkah phae lamtah hlang dueng rhoek neh hmaih daek boeh.
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29 Tedae kai mangdaeng thakkhoeih he, Pathen namah kah khangnah neh n'hoeptlang lah.
But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.
30 Lumlaa neh Pathen ming te ka thangthen vetih amah te uemonah neh ka pomsang puei ni.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 Te daengah ni BOEIPA ham vaito vaitotal ki cawn neh khomae aka rhak lakah a uemo eh.
It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has 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 humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.
33 BOEIPA loh khodaeng rhoek te a yaak tih a thongtla rhoek khaw a hnoel moenih.
For the LORD hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.
34 Vaan rhoek neh diklai loh, tuitunli rhoek neh a khuiah aka yuel boeih loh BOEIPA amah te thangthen uh saeh.
Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
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 save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.
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.
The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
