La Bu 140

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

To the leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me

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

from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:

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

who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (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.

Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.

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

The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (Selah)

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

I have said to the Lord, “My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.

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

O Lord my Lord, my savior mighty, you did cover my head in 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.

Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.” (Selah)

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

Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,

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

may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,

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

no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.

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 do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are needy.

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

Surely the righteous shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
