La Bu 141

1 O Yahweh Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!

[A Psalm by David.] LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly. Listen to my voice when I call to you.

2 Kataona hi nahenga gimnamtwi kilhut bang'in chule kakhut teni kadopsang hi nilhah lang kilhaina gantha bang'in neisanpeh tan.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

3 O Yahweh Pakai, kakam'a hin kamdal neikoipeh'in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.

Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

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.

Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.

5 Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

6 Alamkaiteu kol'a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.

Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

7 Songpi akikhet keh teng tol'a akitakeh bang in, miphalou ho gule chang ho jong vui louva kithe jal ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)

"As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." (Sheol h7585)

8 O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina neitosah hih in.

For my eyes are on you, LORD. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave my soul destitute.

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 from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.

10 Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah'in.

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
