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.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
2 Ahnimouh teh a lungthung vah hawihoehnae hah a pouk awh teh, kâtuknae ao nahanelah, hnintangkuem cungtalah a pouk awh.
Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
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 tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
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 Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant 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 hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
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 to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
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, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed 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.
Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
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.
The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm 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.
Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
11 Thoenae ka dei e naw teh, talai van cak awh hanh naseh, ka mathoutmakai e taminaw koe runae ni pâlei awh naseh.
A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
12 BAWIPA ni runae kâhmonaw hah a khetyawt teh, kavoutthoupnaw koelah kalan lah lawk a ceng han tie ka panue.
I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
13 Atangcalah, tami kalannaw ni na min a pholen awh han. A lungthin kalannaw ni hai na hmalah ao awh han.
But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
