La Bu 141
1 O Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!
A Melody of David. O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.
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 in order like incense before thee, —the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.
3 O Pakai, kakam’a hin kamdal neikoipeh’in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.
Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over 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.
Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.
Let a righteous man smite me—a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
6 Alamkaiteu kol’a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.
Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
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 plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades! (Sheol h7585)
8 O Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina netosah hih in.
Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.
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 out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
10 Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah’in.
They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.
