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.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:
2 Ahnimouh teh a lungthung vah hawihoehnae hah a pouk awh teh, kâtuknae ao nahanelah, hnintangkuem cungtalah a pouk awh.
For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.
3 Ahnimouh teh amamae lai hah tahrun e lai patetlah, a hran sak awh. Ahnimae pahni thung vah hrunthoe sue ao. (Selah)
Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes 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.
O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.
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 men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (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 have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.
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 Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.
8 Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e ngainae teh kuep pouh hoeh. Hawihoehnae sak hanelah noenae teh kuep sak pouh hoeh. Hoehpawiteh, kârasang awh langvaih.
O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (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 those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.
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 flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.
11 Thoenae ka dei e naw teh, talai van cak awh hanh naseh, ka mathoutmakai e taminaw koe runae ni pâlei awh naseh.
Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.
12 BAWIPA ni runae kâhmonaw hah a khetyawt teh, kavoutthoupnaw koelah kalan lah lawk a ceng han tie ka panue.
I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
13 Atangcalah, tami kalannaw ni na min a pholen awh han. A lungthin kalannaw ni hai na hmalah ao awh han.
Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.
