La Bu 140

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

For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, please save me from those who do evil; protect me especially from those who are violent!

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

Their minds are busy plotting evil things, stirring up trouble all day long.

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

Their tongues are as sharp as those of snakes; viper's venom is on their lips. (Selah)

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.

Lord, please keep me from falling into the hands of the wicked; protect me especially from those who are violent, who are plotting my downfall.

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

Proud people have hidden a trap for me—they have strung out a net on the path, they have set snares to catch me. (Selah)

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

I told the Lord, “You are my God! Lord, please listen to my cries for help!”

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

Lord God, my powerful Savior, you covered my head like a helmet on the day of battle.

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

God, don't allow the wicked to get what they want—don't let them be successful in what they plan so they don't become proud. (Selah)

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

May the harm spoken against me by those who surround me fall back on them,

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

Let burning coals rain down on them! Let them be thrown into the fire, or into bottomless pits, never to rise again.

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

Don't let people who slander others live in our land. May disaster strike down violent people.

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

Yet I know the Lord defends the rights of those who are persecuted, and gives justice to the poor.

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

Truly those who live right are thankful for the kind of person you are, and those who are honest will live in your presence.
