Tingtoeng 55
1 Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lamtah ka lungmacil te rhael boeh.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David.” Give ear, O God, to my prayer, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Kai taengah hnatung lamtah kai n'doo dae. Ka kohuetnah neh ka van tih ka pang ka ngawl.
Listen unto me, and answer me: I mourn in my grief, and moan;
3 Halang kah phaepnah hman ah thunkha kah ol loh kai sola boethae han sop uh tih thintoek neh kai taengah a konaeh uh.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast wrong upon me, and in wrath they attack me.
4 Ka ko khuiah ka lungbuei loh phat tih dueknah mueirhih loh kai m'vuei khoep.
My heart is sorely pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Kai taengah rhihnah neh thuennah halo tih, tuennah loh kai n'thing.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and shuddering hath covered me.
6 Te vaengah, “U long nim kai ham vahui bangla ka phae han khueh koinih ka ding vetih kho ka sak sue,” ka ti.
And I said, Oh that some one would give me wings like a dove! I would fly away and dwell [quietly].
7 Yaoe A hla la ka cet sui tih, khosoek ah ka rhaehba mai lah sue. (Selah)
Lo, I would flee far away, I would spend my night in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Kai taengkah khohli khui lamloh, hlipuei a tloh khui lamloh kuepkolnah la ka tawn uh sue.
I would prepare hastily a refuge for me from the sweeping wind [and] from storm.
9 Ka Boeipa aw amih ol te haeh saeh lamtah dolh saeh, khopuei ah kuthlahnah neh tuituknah ni ka hmuh.
Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city;
10 Khoyin khothaih vongtung taengah vikvuek uh tih a ko khuiah boethae neh thakthaenah om.
Day and night do these encompass it upon her walls: and wrong and trouble are in her midst.
11 Talnah loh a ko khuiah om tih, hnaephnapnah neh thailatnah loh toltung lamkah nong voelpawh.
Mischief is in her midst: guile and deceit depart not from her streets.
12 Kai aka veet he ka thunkha moenih, anih koinih ka phueih pawn ni. Kai taengah aka pomsang uh te ka lunguet moenih. Te koinih anih taeng lamloh ka thuh tak ni.
For it is not an enemy that reproached me; then I could bear it: not he that hateth me hath magnified himself against me; then I would have hidden myself from him;
13 Tedae ka boeihlum neh ka thanat la ka hmaiben hlanghing khaw namah ni.
But it is thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance;
14 Baecenol neh tun ka tui uh tih, rhoihui neh Pathen im la ka cet uh coeng.
So that we took sweet secret counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in tumultuous company.
15 Amih ko khuiah khaw, a lampahnah ah khaw thae uh. Te dongah amih te dueknah loh dueknah neh phae saeh lamtah, a hingnah te saelkhui la suntla uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
Let him dispense death over them; let them go down alive into the nether world; for evil is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Pathen te kai loh ka khue tih BOEIPA loh kai n'khang.
I, however, will call on God: and the Lord will save me.
17 Hlaem, mincang neh khothun ah ka lolmang tih ka ko vaengah ka ol han yaak.
At evening and morning and noon will I make my complaint and moan: and he heareth my voice.—
18 Kai taengkah aka om rhoek he a yet dongah ka hinglu he caemrhal lamkah sading la n'lat.
He delivereth my soul in peace from the battle against me; for in multitudes are they [contending] with me.
19 Hlamat lamkah kho aka sa Pathen loh a yaak vetih amih te a phaep ni. (Selah) Amih taengah thovaelnah a om pawt bangla Pathen khaw rhih uh pawh.
God will hear, and humble them—yea, he that sitteth enthroned from the oldest time Selah—those who dread no changes, and fear not God.
20 A ngaimongnah taengah a kut a hlah tih, a paipi a poeih.
He stretcheth out his hands against those at peace with him: he violateth his covenant.
21 A ka te maehtha bangla hnal dae a lungbuei tah caemrhal la om. A olka te situi lakah yaai dae tumca a mukuh.
The creamy words of his mouth are smooth, yet there is war [in] his heart; his words are softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
22 Na thinrhih te BOEIPA taengah hal lamtah amah loh nang n'cangbam bitni. Aka dueng te kumhal ah bung sak mahpawh.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Tedae Pathen nang loh pocinah rhom khuila amih te na hlak ni. Hlang thii aka ngaih neh hlangthai palat kah khohnin te paekboe pah pawtnim? Kai long tah nang dongah ka pangtung ni.
But thou, O God, thou wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: let not the men of blood and deceit live out half their days; but I will indeed trust in thee.
