La Bu 142

1 Keima Yahweh Pakai henga kataovin, Yahweh Pakai henga khotona kathum in ahi.

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

2 Keima Yahweh Pakai ang-sunga kakiphin in, kahahsatna jouse jong kaphongdoh'in.

I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

3 Kalhagao alam vai jitan, hinlah Yahweh Pakai nangbou nahi kachena ding lampi ei-hil ji. Kajotna lam'a chun ei-douten thang eikam peh jiuvin ahi.

Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

4 Keiman mikhat tou hunga eipanpi ding kangaichat lai jin, koiman amitsih jenga jong eive poi! Koimacha eikithopi ding aumpoi, kachunga thilsoh koiman imachan eigelpeh poi.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

5 O Yahweh Pakai, keima na henga kataovin, “Nangma hi kakiselna nahi, kahinkhoa kangaichat pen nang bou nahi,” kati.

I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

6 Kataona hi nei ngaipeh teijin, ei-kisunem behseh jeng tai! Ei-bolgenthei hoa kon'in neihuhdoh tan, ajeh chu amaho keisang in ahatval jeng tauve.

Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

7 Songkul'a kon'in neihuhdoh loijin, chutileh nangma kathangvah thei ding ahi. Lolhing tah'a neibol jeh'a kajet le kaveija mikitah dim lha diu ahi.

Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.
