La Bu 59
1 O Pathen, ka galmite a kon’in neihuhdoh in, keima eisumang ding’a hungho a kon’in neihuhdoh in.
For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
2 Mi sugentheiho a kon’in neihuhdoh in lang tolthat ho’a kon’in neihuhdoh in.
Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
3 Amahon eichanglhiuvin, Pakai melma engsetahte hon eingah un ahi, keiman amaho dounan imacha thilse ka bol poi.
See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
4 Keiman imacha thilse kabol pon hinla keima eidelkhum ding’in akigo jing’un ahi. Hung thoudoh in thilsohho hi hung ven lang neikithopi’n!
Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
5 O Pakai Pathen hatchungnung Israelte Pathen, hung thoudoh in lang mi phalou namtin vaipiho hi gimbolna hung petan kitahna neilou mi phaloute chung’a hin khotona neihihbeh in.
You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
6 Amaho janteng leh ahungdoh jiuvin, uingol hon mi angih bang’in lamlen’a akijot’un apeng le jiuvin ahi.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
7 Akamsunguva thu thanghoi hung potdoh khu ngai in chemjam a kisat bang’a ngaithada umtah ahi. Hitobang’a ngai thaset umtah hi kon angai ngam ding ham?
See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
8 Ahinla Pakai nang’in amaho chu na nuisat’in, mi phalou namtin vaipiho chu na hohdal’in ahi.
But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
9 Nang hi kahatna nahi; eihuhdoh din nang kangah jing e, ajeh chu nang hi kakibitna kulpi nahi.
You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
10 Ami ngailut na longlou chun kaPathen in eidinpi ding ahi. Aman ka melmate jouse chung’a agaljona a eimusah ding ahi.
In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
11 O Pathen amaho chu thatgam jeng hih’in ajole ka mite’n kihil na aman u hi sumil loi get’unte; eipanpi o Pakai amaho khu thethang’in lang akhuboh uva dilsuh sah jeng tan.
Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
12 Akam’uva chonset thu ngen aseidoh jeh uleh, alei uva thilse ngen aseidoh jeh’un, akiletsahna’u, ahansetna’u chuleh ajouseina’u vin manchah jeng uhen.
Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
13 Na lunghan nan amaho chu sumang’in lang abonchauvin sumang jeng’in! chutengleh vannoi leiset pumpin Israel chung’a vaihom Pathen na hi chu ahetdi’u ahi.
Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
14 Ka melmate jan leh hungdoh’un tin uichangol hon mi angih bang’in akisen le leuvin ahi.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
15 Amaho neh ding an holna’n avahle leuvin oivana kham amulou jeh’un gilkel pum’in alum jiuvin ahi.
They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're not satisfied.
16 Hinla keiman vang na thaneina chu vahchoila’n sangnge. Na mi ngailutna longlou chu jingkha she leh kipah tah’in vahchoila’n sangnge. Ajeh chu nangma ka kulpi, ka hahsat teng leh ka kiselna na hi.
But I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
17 O ka hatna Pakai, nangma thangvahna’n la’n sangnge, O Pathen nangma ka kiselna na hin, na mi ngailutna longlou chu neimusah jing’e.
You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
