< La Bu 16 >
1 Neihoibitnin O Elohim Pathen: ajeh chu nangahi kinem jing kahi.
A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you 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 the Lord, “You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Leiset a Elohim Pathen lhentumte hi pachat umtah ahiuvin, amahohi keidinga kagal lamkai le kakipa thanop napen ahiuve.
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.”
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.
Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name 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.
The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Nangin neipeh gam jonghi gamphapen ahi, itobanga goupha kidang neipeh hitam!
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
7 Ijakai eihilla ka Yahweh Pakai chu keiman thangvah inge; janteng jong le avel in eigeldoh sah jin eihil jie.
I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
8 Yahweh Pakai in eiumpi danhi keiman hetna kanei jinge. Amahi kakomma naichakhatna um ahi ti kahen hijeh chun keima lungthomhao ponge.
I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
9 Hijeh hin keima kalung amongsellin chuleh kipanan kadimmin Elohim Pathen kathangvah e.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
10 Ajeh chu nangin thina mun a neidalha pon natin namitheng te jong lhankhuh a lhahlutsah pon nate. (Sheol )
For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol )
11 Nangin hinnalampi chu neimusah'in natin, neiumpi jal a kipana le nei umpina tonsot nopna chu nei pen nate.
You will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
