Tingtoeng 7
1 [Benjamin capa Kusah kah olka kongah BOEIPA taengah a hlai David kah Omdamlaa] Ka BOEIPA Pathen, namah dongah ka ying. Kai aka hloem rhoek boeih taeng lamkah kai n'khang lamtah kai n'huul dae.
Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
2 Sathueng bangla ka hinglu he pat a ngaeh vetih, aka huul om pawt ve.
If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
3 Ka BOEIPA Pathen, hekah he ka saii mai tih, ka kut ah dumlai om mai ni.
Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
4 Kai aka thuung te a thae la ka thuung tih, lunglilungla la kai aka daengdaeh te ka rheth atah,
if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
5 Ka hinglu he thunkha thunhling loh han hloem tih n'kae vaengah, ka hingnah he diklai ah taelh uh saeh lamtah, kai kah thangpomnah khaw, laipi khuila khueh saeh. (Selah)
allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
6 Thoo lah BOEIPA kai taengah aka daengdaeh thinpom rhoek he, na thintoek neh pai thil lah. Haenghang lamtah, kai ham tiktamnah uen lah.
But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
7 Te dongah namtu rhaengpuei loh, namah m'vael saeh lamtah, amih te hmuen sang lamkah ngol thil.
Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
8 BOEIPA loh pilnam rhoek ke laitloek pah saeh. Ka duengnah neh ka thincaknah vanbangla, ka lai han tloek lah BOEIPA.
Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
9 Halang rhoek kah boethae tah paltham suidae aka dueng te na cak sak. Te dongah duengnah Pathen loh lungbuei neh kuel ni a loepdak.
God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
10 Lungbuei aka thuem kah khangkung Pathen tah kai kah photling ni.
God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
11 Pathen he a dueng la lai a tloek neh khohnin takuem ah kosi aka sah Pathen ni.
You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
12 Yut pawt koinih a cunghang khaw a tah vetih, a lii khaw a phuk vetih a nuen ni.
Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
13 Te dongah amah ham dueknah tubael a tawn tih thaltang aka alh te a saii.
You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
14 Boethae te a yom tih thakthaenah la a vawn dongah a hong a hi ni a cun coeng ke.
Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
15 Vaam te a vueh tih a too dae amah loh a saii vaam khuiah amah cungku.
But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
16 A thakthaenah te a lu dongla mael vetih a kuthlahnah khaw a luki ah suntla ni.
They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
17 BOEIPA kah a duengnah te ka uem vetih Khohni BOEIPA ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
