La Bu 140

1 O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in, pumhat-a natong hoa kon'in neihoidohsah'in,

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.

2 ajeh chu alung sung'uva thilse jeng agong un, beitih um louvin gal abol jiuvin ahi.

Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.

3 Alei gui-u gul in mi achuh bang in amang chauvin, athuseidoh jouseu jong gul-gu tobang ahi.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.

4 O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou ho khutna kon hin neihoidoh in, pumhatna natong hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in; ajeh chu kakipal lhuhna din thisle jeng agong un ahi.

Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.

5 Mi kiletsah hon kei matna din thang akam un, khao ajan-doh'un lampi dunga thang ei-kampeh'un ahi.

The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.

6 Keiman Yahweh Pakai kom'a, “Nangma hi ka Pathen Elohim nahi!” O Yahweh Pakai, khotona dinga kataona nei sanpeh tan.

I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.

7 O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, athahat pan-a eihuhdoh pa; nangman gal kisat nikhoa nei huhdoh ahi.

Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.

8 Yahweh Pakai, migilouho adei bang'in chesah hih'in, athilse gonhou chu lolhin sahhih'in; achuti louva ahileh kiletsahna dim diu ahi.

O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.

9 Kagal miten kachunga thil phalou tohgon anei jal un, manthah nan lhung u-hen.

The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.

10 Meiam kong chu alu chunguvah chuhsah'in, meilah'a seplut in; ahilouleh ajamdoh louna diu twiveina kotong'ah lhalut jeng u-hen.

Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.

11 Ka gamsung uva hin ajou jouva mihehse ho khantousah hihbeh'in, pumhat'a natong ho achunguva thilse chuhsah'in lang sumang in.

A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.

12 Hinlah suhgentheija umte Yahweh Pakai in asumil poi, ti kahen; Aman vaichate thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi, ti kahei.

I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.

13 Tahbeh'in mi kitah hon namin athangvah diu, chule michonpha ho na kom'a cheng diu ahi.

So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.
