Psalms 55
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw, nang koe kâhei navah na kâhrawk takhai hanh.
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
3 because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw pawlawk hoi, tamikathoutnaw ni repcoungroenae kecu dawk, runae kai dawk a pha sak teh, lungkhuek laihoi na hmuhma awh.
4 My heart is greatly pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
7 Lo, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
8 I would hasten myself to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.
Hete kahlî tûilî ka tho e hoi ka hlout nahanlah, karanglah ka yawng han toe telah ka pouk.
9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongue, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Oe BAWIPA, ahnimae lawk hah a kahma nahanlah, koung kâkapek sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kho thung vah, thamanae hoi lawpnae ka hmu.
10 Day and night they go about it, upon the walls of it. Iniquity and mischief also are in the midst of it.
Karum khodai pout laipalah, rapan dawk hoi a kâhêi awh teh, kho thung vah thoenae hoi runae lah ao awh,
11 Wickedness is in the midst of it. Oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
12 For it was not an enemy who reproached me. Then I could have borne it. Neither was it he who hated me that magnified himself against me. Then I would have hid myself from him.
Kai na ka pathoe e teh ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka pouk thai han ei. Na ka taran ni teh kai na ka hmuhma e hai ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ahni hah ka roun thai han ei.
13 But it was thou, a man my equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.
Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
14 We took sweet counsel together. We walked in the house of God with the throng.
Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
15 Let death come suddenly upon them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call upon God, and Jehovah will save me.
Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, I will complain and moan. And he will hear my voice.
Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many by me.
Kai taranlahoi na tuknae hmuen koehoi, ka hringnae heh karoumcalah a ratang toe. Kai koelah kaawm e teh apap awh.
19 God will hear, and respond to them, (even he who abides of old), (Selah) men who have no changes, and who fear not God.
Ayan hoi kangning e Cathut ni a thai teh, ahnimouh hah a khang sak han. (Selah) Ahnimouh teh a kâthung awh hoeh dawkvah, Cathut taket awh hoeh.
20 He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him. He has profaned his covenant.
Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
Apâhni hoi a dei awh e lawk teh, maito sanutui kamkak e hlak a pâhnan. Hatei, a lungthung tarankâtuknae ao. A lawk teh satui hlak a nem eiteh, rayu tangcoung e tahloi lah doeh ao.
22 (Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee. He will never allow the righteous man to be moved.)
Na hnokari hah BAWIPA dawk patue haw, ama ni na hlai han. Tami kalan rawp hane pasoung hoeh.
23 But thou, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee.
Oe Cathut, alouknaw teh rawknae tangkom dawk koung na pabo han. Tamikathetnaw hoi yuemkamcuhoeh e naw teh, a hringyung tangawn patenghai hring awh mahoeh. Kai teh nang doeh na kâuep han.
