La Bu 143
1 Vo Yahweh Pakai, kataona ngaijin. Kangeh hi nei ngaipeh teijin! Nangma kitahna le dihna bang in, neidonbut in.
A psalm of David. Listen, O Lord, to my prayer; attend to my plea. In your faithfulness give me answer, and in your righteousness.
2 Nalhacha hi nei patep hih in chule kachung thu jong tan hihbeh in, ajeh chu koima na ang-sunga adih aumpoi.
With your servant O enter you not into judgment, for in your sight can no one alive be justified.
3 Ajeh chu kagal miten eihin del peh in, kahing chang in tolgoi nan ineijin, lhan khuh-a athisa umho bangin, kada kacham louvin muthim lah'a eiumsah tai.
For the enemy persecutes me, crushing my life to the ground, making me live in the darkness, as those who have long been dead.
4 Hijeh chun keiman kinepna ding kanei tapon, kalung sung kichatnan adim e.
My spirit is faint within me, my heart is bewildered within me.
5 Keiman khanglui nikho chesa ho kageldoh'in, nakhut tenia natohdohsa thil thupi ho kagel jing in ahi.
I remember the days of old, and brood over all you have done, musing on all that your hands have wrought.
6 Kakhut tenin nahenglam kasang'in kataovin, Gamgo-in sadoh leuva twi angaichat bang in; keiman nangma kangaichan ahi.
I spread out my hands to you: I thirst for you, like parched earth. (Selah)
7 O Yahweh Pakai, nei donbut loijin, ajeh chu kahin kho bei pai ding ahitai. Keija kon'in kihei mang hih in, ijeh-inem itileh lhan khuh-a lhalut ho kabah ding ahi.
Answer me soon, Lord, because my spirit is spent. Hide not your face from me, else become I like those who go down to the pit.
8 Jingkah sehleh nalungsetna longlou neijahsah in, ajeh chu keima kingaina nangbou nahi. Kalam lhahna jouse neihil them in, kahin kho hi nangma dia kaphal theng ahi.
Let me learn of your love in the morning, for my trust is in you. Teach me the way I should go: for my heart longs for you.
9 O Yahweh Pakai, kagal mitea kon'in neihuhdoh in, nahenga kisel dinga hung jamlut kahi bouve.
Save me, O Lord, from my foes: for to you I have fled for refuge.
10 Ka Pathen Elohim nahi, nadeilam bolje neihil in, name khotona lhagao chun dettah'a pan kalah jingna din neipui jing in.
Teach me to do your will, for you yourself are my God. Guide me by your good spirit, O Lord, on a way that is smooth.
11 O Yahweh Pakai, namin loupina ding in kahinkho hinghoi teijin. Ajeh chu nakitahna jal'in kahahsatna'a kon in nei puidoh tan.
Be true to your name Lord, spare me, bring me out of distress in your faithfulness.
12 Nami ngailutna longlou chun, kagal mite manthahsan in! Chule nalhacha kahi, eidou ho jouse sumang hel in.
In your kindness extinguish my enemies, and all those who vex me destroy; for I am your servant.
