La Bu 139
1 O Yahweh Pakai nangin kalungthim nakholchil in neihechen sohkeitan ahi.
“To the chief musician, by David, a psalm.” O Lord! thou hast searched me through, and thou knowest [me].
2 Nangin katouthimpet hihen, kadindoh pet hijongle nahei. Gamlhatah a kaum jeng vangin nangin kalung gel ngaito jouse nahei.
Thou indeed knowest my sitting down and my rising up, thou understandest my thinking while yet afar off.
3 Kakholjinpet hihen, inna katouthimpet hijongleh nangin neimun ahi, chuleh kabol jouse nahesoh kei e.
My walking and my lying down hast thou limited, and with all my ways art thou acquainted.
4 Yahweh Pakai kathusei got jonghi kasei masangin nahejitai.
For, while there is not a word on my tongue, lo, thou, O Lord, knowest it entirely.
5 Kamasanga nachen, kanunga jong neijuijin ahi, naphatthei bohna khutchu kaluchungah nangam'in ahi.
Behind and before hast thou hedged me in, and thou placest upon me thy hand.
6 Hitobang hetna hi keidingin aki dang val in, chuleh hitobang hetchet dinghi keidingin ahahsaval e.
Too wonderful is such knowledge for me: it is too exalted, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Nalhagaova kon a iti kajam mang thei dingham? Nanga kon a keima iti kajam mang theiding ham?
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee away from thy presence?
If I should ascend into heaven, thou art there; and if I should make my bed in the nether world, behold, thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Keima jingkah lhaving in lengdoh ingting twikhanglen gallang peh'a gacheng jong leng,
If I should lift up the wings of the morning-dawn, if I should dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10 hichemun jenga jong chun nakhut in neikai hoi in natin, nathahat na in nei vengbit in nate.
Even there would thy hand lead me, and thy right hand would seize hold of me.
11 Keiman muthim jah'a neisel in tijongleng chuleh kavel a vahjeng jong muthim sosah jongleng,
If I said, Surely darkness shall enshroud me, and into night [be turned] the light about me:
12 muthimlah'a kisel jing jongleng nanga kon a kakisel mangthei louding ahi. Ajeh chu nang dingin ajing jongchu sun banga vahding ahi. Muthimleh vah jong nangdingin thakhat ahibouve.
Yet even darkness can obscure nothing from thee; but the night will shine like the day; both the darkness and the light are alike [to thee].
13 Nangin ka oisung a thil umjuse jong najopmat mat a kanu naobu sunga neigontoh ahi.
For thou possessest my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 Hitobanga thil kidangtah'a neina gontoh jeh'in kathangvah'e! Na natoh nathil bol danhi datmo umtah ahi ti kalung thim apumpin kahe them e.
I will thank thee therefore, that I am [so] fearfully [and] wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 Keima jatchombeh'a kanu naobu muthimlah'a eina kigontoh jeng jongchun nangman neinavesui jingin ahi.
My being was not concealed from thee, when I was made in secret, when I was [so to say] embroidered in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Kapen lhah masang a nang man nei namusa ahitai, nitin ka hinkhoa ka ki manchah na ding dan, phatche dungjui a ana kigongtoh chu nikhatcha jengjong achelhah masanga nalekhabua ana kigoltohsa ahitai.
My undeveloped substance did thy eyes see; and in thy book were all of them written down—the days which have been formed, while yet not one of them was here.
17 O Yahweh Pakai kachung changa nalung gel nathilgon tohsaho chu iti mantama hitam simjou jai ahipoi!
And how precious are unto me thy thoughts, O God! how mightily great is their sum!
18 Asim jengjong keijo chi ahipoi, neldi halsiho sang in jong atamjoi. Kahung khahdoh gei injong nangin neina umpi jing nalai e!
Should I count them, they would be more numerous than the sand: I awake, and I am still with thee.
19 O ka Pathen Elohim miphalouho hi nasuhmang hitavele ong! Tolthat ho kahinkhoa kon in potdoh'un.
If thou wouldst but slay the wicked, O God! and ye men of blood, depart from me.
20 Amahohin na suminseu ve, nagalmi hohin namin hi asamseu ve.
Who speak of thee for a wicked end, thy enemies, that bear [thy name] for a vain purpose.
21 O Yahweh Pakai nangma nahotbolte hohi keiman jong kahot louding ham? Nangma nadouho hi kenjong kathet louding ham?
Behold, those that hate thee I ever hate, O Lord; and for those that rise up against thee do I feel loathing.
22 Ahinai, nangman nathetho hi keiman pumthetna kathet ding ahi, ajeh chu nangma galmi ho chu keima galmi ho ahiuve.
With the utmost hatred do I hate them: enemies are they become unto me.
23 O Yahweh Pakai neikhol chil in kalung neihet peh in; neipatep inlang kahina hi kilang doh sah in.
Search me through, O God, and know my heart; probe me, and know my thoughts:
24 Kasunga hi nangma douva thilse umnalai am nei nodoh peh inlang tonsot lampi a neipui tan.
And see if there be a way of perverseness in me, and lead me on the way of eternity.
