La Bu 35
1 Yahweh Pakai, eidou ho hi nangin kidoupin, ei kisatpi ho jong nangin kisatpin.
Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
2 Nalum leh naumpho hin kipat in. Galmun a din kigon lang neihung kithopin.
Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
3 Eihin delkhum ho dounan natengcha leh nateng muh chu hin lam tan. “Keiman gal kajopeh ding nahi!” ti neijah sah tan.
Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
4 Eithat goho chunga hin jumnale jachatna lhun sah in, eigimbol a eisumang go hohi jumson lang nungno jeng tan.
May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
5 Huilah a changvai alenmang bangin lenmang sah in, Yahweh Pakaija kon a vantil banga hung chu semmang sah in.
May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
6 A lam lhah nao thimsah inlang lhonalsah in, Yahweh Pakai vantil chun nungdel peh u hen.
May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
7 Keiman amaho kabol sepoi, ahin amahon kei matna dingin kotong eilai khum un ahi! Ken amaho kabol sepoi ahin amahon keimat nadin kotong alai uve.
For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
8 Hijeh chun amaho chunga hetman louvin mathahna hunglhung hen! Kei ona dia asem u kotong chu amaho manthahna hijo tahen.
May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
9 Chuteng keima Yahweh Pakai akakipa ding ahi. Eilhatdoh jeh a keima kipa thanom ding kahi.
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
10 Katahsa chunga kagu kachang jouse pum a Yahweh Pakai kathangvah ding ahi: “Yahweh Pakai koiham nangtoh kitekah theiding? Koidang ba ham mihatpa thaneina a kona panpi beipa huhdoh a chu?”
All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
11 Engbolna dih louvin eithemmo sah un. Kahetphahlou jouthu a monna eikichan e.
Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
12 Amahon kathil phabol jengjong thilsen eile thuh un lung lhahnan kangui heltai.
They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
13 Ahijeng vangin amahon anat tenguleh keiman amaho kalainatpi jin khaodip pon kakisil in anngol in amaho kataopeh jin ahi. Hinla kataona donbut louvin ahung kinung le jitai.
Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
14 Ka golpha le insung mi monga kagel jeh in kalungkham pin, eihinga kanu kalainatpi bang bangin kalainat pi jin ahi.
I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
15 Hinlah ken tunia boina katophat in amaho akipah un keidounan thanom tah in akiloi khomun, hiti chun kahetkhahlou miho kisan in tujeng in jong eino khum un; phat tin in eihouse jing jengun ahi.
But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
16 Amahon einuisat un eitam seovin noise tah in eihagel khum un ahi.
Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 O Yahweh Pakai itih changei pi neivet a donlouva neikoi ding hitam?
How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
18 Chutengleh mipi tamtah ki khom te lah a kipathu kahin seiding ahi. Mipi ho jouse masanga nangma kahin thangvah ding ahi.
Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
19 Kajolel nachung a hin eidou te kipa thanop sah hih beh in. Kamuiset nachung in jong ajeh bei a eivetda ho kitai sah hih beh in.
Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
20 Amahon chamna thu aseipouvin, amahon thepmona neilou atoh dingdol bep tongho dounan thilse agong jingun ahi.
For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
21 “Aha! Aha! ipi bol kigo nahi kamit tah un kamudoh taove!” tin asam uve.
They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
22 O Yahweh Pakai nangin hicheghi namusoh kei in nahesoh e, donlouvin koihih beh in O Yahweh Pakai. neidalha hihbeh in O Yahweh Pakai.
O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Hungthoudoh in! eihuhdoh dingin hung dingdoh jengtan! Yahweh ka Pakai le Elohim ka Pathen kachung thuhi neitan peh in.
Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 O Yahweh Pakai ka Pathen Elohim, kamo louna neiphon doh peh tan, ajeh chu nangma thudih a thutan nahi. Kaboina chung chon a kadougal te nuisat in neium sah hih beh in.
Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
25 “Veovin itup uchu imutaove! Tua hi ahingsan a inehchai diu ahitai!” tisah hihbeb in.
Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
26 Kahahsatna nikhoa kipah ho sujum inlang jachat sah in. Kachunga hanla samhohi jumnaleh minsetnan lhuh khumin.
May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
27 Ahin koi hileh keima ei huhdia hung ho jouse chu kipanalentah pen. “Yahweh Pakai aloupi e aman asoh hi lunglhai tah in phatthei aboh in lungmon na apei!” tin tanglouvin samjingu hen.
May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
28 Chuteng keiman nathutan adihji samphong ingting niseh a nangma kavahchoi ding ahi.
Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
