La Bu 16
1 Neihoibitnin O Elohim Pathen: ajeh chu nangahi kinem jing kahi.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 O Kalhagao, nangman Yahweh Pakai koma Nanghi ka Pakai nahi nati, thilpha kaneijouse hi nanga kon bou ahi;
I said to Jehovah, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 Leiset a Elohim Pathen lhentumte hi pachat umtah ahiuvin, amahohi keidinga kagal lamkai le kakipa thanop napen ahiuve.
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Pathen dangho nung jui a delle ho chu alung khamnao kibejing ding ahi. Amaho thisan a kilhaina ganthat a pang ka hilou ding, a pathen nu jong kahoupeh loudiu ahi.
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Yahweh Pakai hi ka chanding gou le ka phatthei channa khon chu ahi. Yahweh Pakai in ka ijakai eichintup peh e.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Nangin neipeh gam jonghi gamphapen ahi, itobanga goupha kidang neipeh hitam!
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Ijakai eihilla ka Yahweh Pakai chu keiman thangvah inge; janteng jong le avel in eigeldoh sah jin eihil jie.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Yahweh Pakai in eiumpi danhi keiman hetna kanei jinge. Amahi kakomma naichakhatna um ahi ti kahen hijeh chun keima lungthomhao ponge.
I have put Jehovah before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 Hijeh hin keima kalung amongsellin chuleh kipanan kadimmin Elohim Pathen kathangvah e.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 Ajeh chu nangin thina mun a neidalha pon natin namitheng te jong lhankhuh a lhahlutsah pon nate. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Nangin hinnalampi chu neimusah'in natin, neiumpi jal a kipana le nei umpina tonsot nopna chu nei pen nate.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
