La Bu 55
1 Vo Elohim Pathen ka taona neingaipeh in, panpi ngehna ka taona neigelkhoh peh'in!
For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David. Listen, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
2 Lungset tah in ka taona neingaipeh in lang neihin donbut teijin, ajeh chu kagimnan eihin lonvuh tan ahi.
Attend to me, and listen to me: I was grieved in my (meditation) and troubled;
3 Ka galmite'n eisamseu vin, eigihna'u hi akithong le'u jeng'in ahi. Aman boi na eilhunkhum sah un lunghang tah'in eihin delkhum taove.
because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
4 Ka lung aphul lap jeng'in thina gimneitah hin eihin nokhum tan ahi.
My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.
5 Tijatna le lunggimna'n eilonvuh tan kithing louvin ka umthei poi.
Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
6 Oh, vakhu bang'a lhaving nei hitave leng o keima lengdoh ingting ga kicholdo tang'e!
And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
7 Keima gamlatah in lengdoh ingting gamthip noi olnamun gabel tang'e.
Behold! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. (Pause)
8 Hitobang kivetdatona huipi kinunglah a konhin gangtah in gamlatah a jammang tang'e.
I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.
9 Yahweh Pakai amaho hi kisuhmosah in lang athilse gon'u jong hi suhmopeh jeng tan, ajeh chu athilgon'u hin khopi sung'a thilse tamtah asodoh sah ding ahi.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.
10 Akulpi bang'u jong galmi'a kon'a hoidohna ding'a asun ajan a anga'u ahi, ahinla akhohpentah chu khopi sung'a chonsetna ho hi ahi.
Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness [are] in the midst of it;
11 Thil jouse hi asegam'a ahitai, kailhang jeng'a jong kigihna le ki joubol na adimlha tan ahi.
and usury and craft have not failed from its streets.
12 Ka dougal'in eitai tomna jong ahipoi hichu ka doujou thouve, kiletsah tah'a eijumso jing'a ka kidoupipa jong ahipoi, amaho a kon chun ka ki seldoh theinan ahi.
For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated [me] had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.
13 Amavang hiche ho chu hilouvin, ka kibahpi, ka kivoppi, ka golngai nangma chu na hi.
But you, O man like minded, my guide, and my acquaintance,
14 Phat khatna chu ichan geija ina kingailut hitam Elohim Pathen houin jeng'a jong ina kijotlutji ahie!
who in companionship with me sweetened [our] food: we walked in the house of God in concord.
15 Ka dougalte hi thina'n lhunkhum hen, lhankhuh in ahing'in vallhum jeng'u hen, ajeh chu setna'n alungsung'u chen nan aneitan ahi. (Sheol h7585)
Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ahinlah keiman Elohim ka Pathen ka kou ding chuleh Yahweh ka Pakai in eihuhdoh ding ahi.
I cried to God, and the Lord listened to me.
17 Jingkah, sun, nilhah in ka lung hesoh jeh'in ka kap'in ahileh Yahweh Pakai in ka-o eijahpeh tai.
Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known [my wants]: and he shall hear my voice.
18 Mi tamtah in eidou jing hen lang, kei douna'n gal kisat chohjeju jeng jongleh Yahweh Pakai in eilhatdoh'in ol-heuvin eiumsah tai.
He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for they were with me in many [cases].
19 Tonsot a vaihom jing Elohim Pathen chun ka taona sang intin ka dougalte asuhnem ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon achondan'u akhelnom pouvin Elohim Pathen jong aging pouve;
God shall hear, and bring them low, [even] he that has existed from eternity. (Pause) For they suffer no reverse, and [therefore] they have not feared God.
20 Keima kiloipipan vang, aloihi alhem lhan akitepna asukeh'in ahi.
He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant.
21 Athu cheng chu thaotwi bang'in analjet in hinlah asung uvin gal lungthim apu'uve. Athu cheng'u thaotwi nang abang'in hinlah asunglang uvah chemjam ngen aum'e.
They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew near them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts.
22 Na pohgih chu Yahweh Pakai chung'a seplha tan Aman na ngai jangpeh nante. Aman mi chonpha ho chu akipalsah lou ding lhuh jong alhuhsah lou ding ahi.
Cast your care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Nangvang O Elohim Pathen mi gilou ho chu lhuh na kokhuh a nasotlhah ding ahi. Tolthat ho le jonpan ho jong khangdong cha na thisah ding ahi, hinla keimanvang eihuhing din nang jeng katahsan e.
But you, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in you, O Lord.
