Sam 140
1 Kathutkung: Devit, Devit ni tumkhawngkung hanelah a sak e la Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na hlout sak haw. Ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:
2 Ahnimouh teh a lungthung vah hawihoehnae hah a pouk awh teh, kâtuknae ao nahanelah, hnintangkuem cungtalah a pouk awh.
Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.
3 Ahnimouh teh amamae lai hah tahrun e lai patetlah, a hran sak awh. Ahnimae pahni thung vah hrunthoe sue ao. (Selah)
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips. (Selah)
4 Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na ring haw. Ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Ahnimouh ni ka tâlaw nahanelah kho a khang awh.
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
5 Ka kâoupnaw ni kai hanelah arulahoi tangkam a patûng awh. Lamthung dawk tamlawk a yangda awh teh, kai hanelah karap a patûng awh. (Selah)
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. (Selah)
6 Nang teh kaie Cathut lah na o tie hah Jehovah koe ka dei. Oe BAWIPA, kai ni ka kâhei e hah na thai pouh haw.
I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
7 Oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh kaie rungngangnae tha lah na o. Tarankâtuk hnin vah, nang ni kaie ka lû teh na ramuk pouh.
O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e ngainae teh kuep pouh hoeh. Hawihoehnae sak hanelah noenae teh kuep sak pouh hoeh. Hoehpawiteh, kârasang awh langvaih.
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah)
9 Hot patet e taminaw teh, kaie ka tengpam vah, amamae lû loungouk awh laipalah, amamouh ni a dei awh e hawihoehnae ni amamanaw teh ramuk naseh.
As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Hmaisaannaw teh amamae van bawt naseh. Ahnimouh teh hmai dawk thoseh, tangkawm thung thoseh, tâkhawng e lah awm awh naseh, bout thaw awh hanh lawiseh.
Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.
11 Thoenae ka dei e naw teh, talai van cak awh hanh naseh, ka mathoutmakai e taminaw koe runae ni pâlei awh naseh.
An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 BAWIPA ni runae kâhmonaw hah a khetyawt teh, kavoutthoupnaw koelah kalan lah lawk a ceng han tie ka panue.
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.
13 Atangcalah, tami kalannaw ni na min a pholen awh han. A lungthin kalannaw ni hai na hmalah ao awh han.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
