La Bu 19
1 Vanho’n Pathen loupina aphongdoh un ahi. Vanthamjol hon jong akhut thepna atahlangui.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.
2 Anitin in aphongdoh jing jeng un; jansim janseh le amachu aseiphong jingui.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
3 Ocheng soh lou vin thu asei un; a ocheng’u hi akijakha ngaipoi.
There is no speech, there are no words, their voice is not heard.
4 Ahinlah athu chun vainoi alodim in, thucheng jong chun vannoi leiset athechansoh in ahi. Vanthamjol hoa Pathen in nisa chenna ding asem peh e.
[But] their melody extendeth through all the earth, and to the end of the world their words. For the sun hath he set a tabernacle among them;
5 Hihchu kichen jouva moulang emsel a ahung potdoh bangin avahchan jengin ahi. Kisongtah a lhaitet golseh a pango bang in haltah le kipah tah in aum e.
And he goeth out as a bridegroom from his chamber, he is glad like a strong man to run his course;
6 Van mong langkhatna kon in nisa ahung sohdoh jin ajotna ding van mong lang khat gei in ajui peh ji'e. Hiche asat a kon chun imacha ahoidoh ji poi.
From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his circuit is unto their ends: and there is nothing hidden from his heat.
7 Pakai thuhil hohi achamkim in, lhagaova asuhhal jing in ahi. Pakai daanthu hohi tahsanthei tah ahin milham jong chihsah jengthei ahi.
The law of the Lord is perfect, quieting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Pakai thupeh hohi adih’in, lungthim kipasah ji e. Pakai thupeh hohi akicheh’in lungsunga hetthem theina eipeuvin ahi.
The precepts of the Lord are upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
9 Pakai ginle jana neihi athengin ahi, hichehi tonsotna ding ahitai. Pakai daanthu hi adih’e; kht cheh in hoi e.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever: the ordinances of the Lord are the truth, they are just altogether.
10 Hicheho chu sana sanga deiumjo ahin, sana thengpen sanga jong deiumjo ahi. Khoiju sangin jong alhumjon, akhoiphang dunga kilhoh lhatil sangin jong alhumjoi.
They are those which are to be desired more than gold, and much fine gold; and they are sweeter than honey and the dropping of honeycomb.
11 Hicheho hi nasohpa dinga gihsal na ahin, nathu nung hoa dia kipana chanvou lentah ahi.
Moreover thy servant is admonished by them: in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Kalungsunga chonset kisel guh jouse hi itikahetdoh jouding ham? Hitobanga kiselgua setna hoa konhin neisilthengin.
Who can guard against errors? from secret [faults] do thou cleanse me.
13 Nasoh hi henasasa chonset bolna a kon in neihuhdoh’in! Hicheho hi kachunga vaihomsah hihbeh’in, chuteng keima chonsetna a konna kahoidoh ding ahi.
Also from presumptuous [sins] withhold thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from any great transgression.
14 Kakam a kon’a hung potdoh thucheng holeh kalungsunga kalunggel ho nalunglhaina hihen, O Pakai kasongpi leh eihuhhingpu.
May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
