Tingtoeng 55
1 Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lamtah ka lungmacil te rhael boeh.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; 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.
Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, 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 iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 Ka ko khuiah ka lungbuei loh phat tih dueknah mueirhih loh kai m'vuei khoep.
My heart is sore 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 horror hath overwhelmed 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 I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Yaoe A hla la ka cet sui tih, khosoek ah ka rhaehba mai lah sue. (Selah)
Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Kai taengkah khohli khui lamloh, hlipuei a tloh khui lamloh kuepkolnah la ka tawn uh sue.
I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.
9 Ka Boeipa aw amih ol te haeh saeh lamtah dolh saeh, khopuei ah kuthlahnah neh tuituknah ni ka hmuh.
Destroy, O Lord, [and] 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 they go about upon the walls thereof: iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Talnah loh a ko khuiah om tih, hnaephnapnah neh thailatnah loh toltung lamkah nong voelpawh.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: oppression and guile 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 was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 Tedae ka boeihlum neh ka thanat la ka hmaiben hlanghing khaw namah ni.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 Baecenol neh tun ka tui uh tih, rhoihui neh Pathen im la ka cet uh coeng.
We took sweet counsel together, we walked in the house of God with the throng.
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 death come suddenly upon them, let them go down alive into the pit: for wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Pathen te kai loh ka khue tih BOEIPA loh kai n'khang.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Hlaem, mincang neh khothun ah ka lolmang tih ka ko vaengah ka ol han yaak.
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan: and he shall hear my voice.
18 Kai taengkah aka om rhoek he a yet dongah ka hinglu he caemrhal lamkah sading la n'lat.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for they were many [that strove] 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 shall hear, and answer them, even he that abideth of old, (Selah) [the men] who have no changes, and who fear not God.
20 A ngaimongnah taengah a kut a hlah tih, a paipi a poeih.
He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he hath profaned 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.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war: his words were softer than oil, yet were 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 shall sustain thee: he shall 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, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
