La Bu 141
1 O Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!
A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
2 Kataona hi nahenga gimnamtwi kilhut bang’in chule kakhut teni kadopsang hi nilhah lang kilhaina gantha bang’in neisanpeh tan.
May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
3 O Pakai, kakam’a hin kamdal neikoipeh’in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.
Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
4 Thilse bolna din kalungthim aselam-a kon’in neihoidah sah in, thil dihlou bolna’a neipansah hih’in. Thildihlou bol hon aphat chompiu thangset umtah thil hoa chan nei neisah hih’in.
Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
5 Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.
Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
6 Alamkaiteu kol’a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.
They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
7 Songpi akikhet keh teng tol’a akitakeh bang in, miphalou ho gule chang ho jong vui louva kithe jal ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
8 O Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina netosah hih in.
But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
9 Kei ona dinga thang akam-uva kon in neihuhdoh in, thilpha lou jenga chon ho thangkol’a nei o-sah hih in.
Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
10 Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah’in.
Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
