Tingtoeng 140
1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA aw boethae Adam kut lamloh kai n'pumcum sak lamtah, kuthlahnah hlang kut lamloh kai n'kueinah lah.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
2 A lungbuei khuiah boethae a huet uh tih khohnin takuem caem a hueh uh. (Selah)
Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
3 A lai te rhul bangla a suih tih a hmuilai dongah minta sue kap. (Selah)
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
4 BOEIPA aw halang kut lamkah neh hlang kah kuthlahnah lamloh kai dawndah lah. Ka kho ah kalh sak ham moeh uh cakhaw kai nan kueinah coeng.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.
5 Thinthah rhoek loh kai ham pael neh rhuihet uh a tung uh. Namtlak hmoi ah lawk a tung uh tih kai hamla hlaeh a tung uh. (Selah)
The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
6 BOEIPA taengah, “Namah tah kai kah Pathen. BOEIPA aw ka huithuinah ol he hnakaeng lah,” ka ti.
I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah kai kah khangnah sarhi ni. Lungpokhaica khohnin ah pataeng ka lu soah nan khuk coeng.
O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
8 BOEIPA aw halang kah huengaihnah te na rhoi moenih. A kopoek thae na dang sak pawt te ni a pomsang uh eh. (Selah)
Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
9 Kai aka ven rhoek kah a lu te amamih hmuilai kah thakthaenah loh amamih te thing rhoe thing saeh.
The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
10 Amih soah hmai-alh tla rhoe tla saeh. Amih te hmai khui neh rhomdung khuila cungku saeh lamtah thoo uh boel saeh.
Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
11 Olsai hlang he hlang kah khohmuen ah naepnoi boel saeh. Boethae kuthlahnah te khaw pathaeng payang la yoep saeh.
A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
12 Mangdaeng kah dumlai neh khodaeng kah laitloeknah BOEIPA loh a rhoi te ka ming rhoela ka ming.
I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
13 Aka dueng rhoek loh na ming te rhep a uem uh vetih aka Olsai rhoek ni na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh eh.
But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
