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 end, [a Psalm] of David, for alternate [strains]. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.

2 Sihnok laedil la ka buek tih tungtainah om kolla tui dung la ka pha voek dongah tuili loh kai n'yo coeng.

I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed 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 [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

4 Lunglilungl a 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.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.

5 Ka anglat te Pathen namah loh na ming tih ka dumlai he nang taeng lamloh a thuh uh moenih.

O God, you know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not 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.

Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.

7 Nang ham te kokhahnah ka phueih tih ka maelhmai he mingthae loh a dah.

For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.

8 Ka pacaboeina rhoek taengah ka hlanglak tih ka manu ca rhoek taengah ka kholong.

I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger 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 has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

10 Te dongah ka hinglu kah yaehnah neh ka rhap dae kai taengah kokhahnah la pawk.

And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.

11 Ka tlamhni pueinak ka bai vaengah amih ham thuidoeknah la ka om.

And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.

12 Vong ka kah aka ngol rhoek loh kai taengah lolmang a taeng uh tih yu o rhoek kah rhotoeng la ka om khoeng.

They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.

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 I [will cry] to you, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of your mercy hear 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.

Save me from the mire, that I stick not [in it]: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from 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.

Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

16 Na sitlohnah a then dongah kai n'doo lah BOEIPA. Na haidamnah cungkuem neh kai taengla ha mael lah.

Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon 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.

And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear 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: deliver me because of mine enemies.

19 Namah loh kai kah kokhahnah, yahpohnah, ka mingthae neh na hmaikah kai aka daengdaeh boeih khaw na ming.

For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are 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.

My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.

21 Ka buh dongah anrhat han hlum uh tih ka tuihalh vaengkah ham a thuui n'tul uh.

They gave [me] also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

22 Amih kah caboei te amih mikhmuh ah pael la, rhoepnah te hlaeh la om pah saeh.

Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.

23 Amih kah mik te a tueng khui lamkah hmuep saeh lamtah a cinghen khaw khun yoeyah saeh.

Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.

24 Amih te na kosi lun thil lamtah na thintoek thinsa loh amih te doom saeh.

Pour out your wrath upon them, and let the fury of your anger take hold on them.

25 Amih kah lumim te kho pong la om saeh lamtah a dap ah khosa hlang om boel saeh.

Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:

26 Na ngawn te a hloem uh tih na rhok kah nganboh te a tae uh.

Because they persecuted him whom you have struck; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

27 Thaesainah te amamih kathaesainah neh a koei dongah nang kah duengnah te bawn uh boel saeh.

Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not 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 the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.

29 Tedae kai mangdaeng thakkhoeih he, Pathen namah kah khangnah neh n'hoeptlang lah.

I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation of your countenance has helped me.

30 Lumla a neh Pathen ming te ka thangthen vetih amah te uemonah neh ka pomsang puei ni.

I will praise the name of my God with a song, I will magnify him with praise;

31 Te daengah ni BOEIPA ham vaito vaitotal ki cawn neh khomae aka rhak lakah a uemo eh.

and [this] shall please God more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.

32 Kodo rhoek loh a hmuh vetih a kohoe uh ni. Pathen aka tlap rhoek, nangmih thinko ah hing van saeh.

Let the poor see and rejoice; seek the Lord diligently, and you shall live.

33 BOEIPA loh khodaeng rhoek te a yaak tih a thongtla rhoek khaw a hnoel moenih.

For the Lord hears the poor, and does not set at nothing his fettered ones.

34 Vaan rhoek neh diklai loh, tuitunli rhoek neh a khuiah aka yuel boeih loh BOEIPA amah te thangthen uh saeh.

Let the heavens and the earth raise him, the sea, and all things moving in them.

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 Sion, and the cities of Judea shall be built; and [men] shall dwell there, and inherit it.

36 A sal rhoek kah a tiingan long khaw a pang uh vetih a ming aka lungnah rhoek loh a khuiah kho a sakuh.

And the seed of his servants shall possess it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
