< Psalms 41 >

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
[Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Yoethaenah hnin ah tattloel te aka cangbam tah a yoethen. Anih te BOEIPA loh a loeih sak.
2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.
BOEIPA loh anih te a dawndah vetih a hlun ni. Khohmuen nen khaw uem la uem vetih, a thunkha kah hinglu la anih te tloeng mahpawh.
3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
BOEIPA loh kolet soengca dongkah te khaw a duel. A thingkong boeih te a tlohtat lamloh na palet bitni.
4 I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
Kai loh, “BOEIPA, nang taengah ka tholh oeh tih, kai n'rhen lamtah ka hinglu he hoeih sak lah,” ka ti.
5 My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”
Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai he, “Me vaengah nim a duek vetih a ming a paltham ve,” tila a thae a thui.
6 If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.
Hmuh hamla aka pawk boeih tah a lungbuei khaw a poeyoek lam ni a cal. Amah ham boethae a coi tih, vongvoel la a pha neh a thui.
7 All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.
Ka lunguet boeih loh kai he a thae la m'moeh uh dongah kai taengah tun sisuk uh.
8 “An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”
“Anih tah a olka aka muen loh a kap thil tih a yalh atah thoh hamla koei mahpawh.
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.
Ka ngaimongnah hlang te tah amah dongah ka pangtung dae, ka buh aka ca long ni kai taengah a khodil a taloeh.
10 But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
Tedae BOEIPA nang loh kai n'rhen lamtah amih khoboe te thuung ham kai n'thoh lah.
11 By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Ka thunkha rhoek te kai soah a yuhui pawt dongah kai taengah na naem te ka ming.
12 As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
Kai khaw kamah kah thincaknah neh kai nan duel tih kumhal namah hmai ah kai nan khueh.
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA tah kumhal lamkah kumhal due a yoethen pai. Amen neh Amen.
