Psalms 35
1 By David. Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
Aw Bawipa, kai anik eek thlangkhqi ce nang ing mele sih nawhtaw; kai anik tukkhqi ce nang ing tuk lah.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Phura ingkaw kqang dahnaak ce lo lah; tho nawh kai bawm aham law lah.
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Kai anik hquutkhqi haiawh cai thlek pek khqi nawh mam khqi khoep lah, Ka hqingnaak venawh, “Kai taw nang a hulnaak ni,” tina lah.
4 Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak suikhqi ce amik kaw boet seitaw chah phyi u seh; kai plawci sak aham amik za qukhqi ce kqih doe ing huna voei tlaih u seh.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on.
Zilh ing a zawn canghi amyihna awm u seitaw, Bawipa a khan ceityih khqi ing cekkhqi ce ak chang na hquut u seh;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the LORD’s angel pursuing them.
A cehnaak lam ce hyp pe seitaw hal pe seh, Bawipa ak khan ceityihkhqi ing cekkhqi ce hquut seh.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
Ikaw am mai awh kang awhnaak aham lawk zan unawh kai aham lawk-kqawng co law uhy,
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
poek kaana cekkhqik khan awh seetnaak ing pha tawk qat seh a mimah ing ami zan lawk awh a mimah awk nawn u seh, a seetnaak aham a mimah a lawk-kqawng awh tla nawn u seh.
9 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Cawh Bawipa awh ka hqingnaak zeel kawmsaw a hulnaak awh ce kak kaw zeel kaw.
10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
Cawh kang coengnaak boeih boeih ing, “Bawipa, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai? Tha ak awm soeihkhqi anglakawhkawng khawdengkhqi ce nang ing hul hyk ti, a mingmih ak mukkung a kut khui awhkawng khawdengkhqi ingkaw thlang ak voethlauhkhqi ce hul hyk ti,” tinawh kqawn kaw.
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
Qeennaak amak ta dyihthing qawlkhqi haina thoeih unawh; am ka sim ik-oeihkhqi ing ni deng uhy.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
Ik-oeih leek ce ik-oeih che ing ni thung unawh ka hqingnaak ve a sungnaak aham cehta uhy.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
Cehlai, cekkhqi ami tlawh awhtaw, kai ingtaw tlamhi byng nawh buh zehnaak ing chung na awm nyng. Kak cykcahnaak hlat na ama awm awh ce,
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
ka pyi ingkaw ka koeina amih koep na kqah sih nyng. Ka nu ak thi amyihna kawseet aih awh koep nawh kqap nyng.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
Cehlai kangbah awhtaw, cekkhqi ce zeel unawh cun uhy, am ka simkhqi ing ni sawi loet uhy.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Khawsa kawna amak hu thlang qaihna amik kqawn amyihna, ami ha ni tah sih uhy.
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
Aw Bawipa, ityk dy nu nani toek hly hqoeng? Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak caikhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, a phuk tlo soeih ka hqingnaak ve samthyynkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
Thlangkqeng ang cunnaak awh nang ce ni ym kawng nyng saw; thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh nang ce ni zoeksang kawng.
19 Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
Kaw am mai awh ka qaalkhqi ing kawqep doena koeh ni toek u seh; ikaw am mai awh kai anik sawhnaakkhqi ing mik koeh ni hqip sih u seh.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Cekkhqi ing qoepnaak awi kqawn kaana, qam khuiawh a ding a syk na ak awmkhqi ce thainaak aham qaai puk uhy.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
Ni aang sih unawh, “A ha! A ha! Ni mik qoe ing ni hu hawh saw ve,” ni tina uhy.
22 You have seen it, LORD. Do not keep silent. Lord, do not be far from me.
Bawipa vekkhqi ve na huh hawh dawngawh; koeh ni awm taak poek poek lah. Bawipa ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak lah.
23 Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
Kai hul aham hqyng nawhtaw, dyi lah! Ka Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa, kang zyng na cekkhqi mi noek qu lah uh.
24 Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, na dyngnaak ak caming awi tlyk law lah; cekkhqi mi koeh ni kqep sih seh.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
Cekkhqi ce, ce pai seh, vemyihna maw ni ngaih qoe pai,” ce am awhtaw, “Amah taw nik daih koe noek,” tinawh koeh poek sak.
26 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
Kak kawseetnaak awh kaw anik qep sihkhqi ce chah phyi u seitaw ngaih kyinaak hu u seh; kak khan awh ak zoeksang qu plakkhqi ce chahnaak ingkaw ngaih kyinaak ing sing khoep seh nyng.
27 Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
Ka dyngnaak awh ak zeel thlangkhqi taw awmhly doena khy useh; cekkhqi ing, “A tyihzawih a ik-oeih leek ak ym, Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh,” ti phat u seh nyng.
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
Kam lai ing nang a dyngnaak awi kqawn kawmsaw hypoet pyr awh na kyihcahnaak awi kqawn kaw.
