Psalms 109
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Ka pakoeh ih, Aw Sithaw, angam duem hmah;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
kasae kaminawk hoi aling thaih kaminawk mah kai han pakha ang angh o thuih, nihcae loe kai khaeah amsawnlok thuih o.
3 They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
Hnukmahaih loknawk hoiah kai ang takui o; takung om ai ah kai ang tuk o.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: But I [give myself unto] prayer.
Kai ih amlunghaih to misa ah a poek o lat; toe kai loe lawkthuihaih hoiah ni ka oh.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
Nihcae mah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o moe, kai ih amlunghaih to a hnukma o.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.
To baktih kami nuiah kasae kami to suem pae ah, Setan loe a bantang bangah angdoe pae nasoe.
7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
Anih loe lokcaek naah sung nasoe loe, lawk a thuihaih to zaehaih ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
8 Let his days be few; [And] let another take his office.
A hinghaih aninawk tamsi pae nasoe loe, minawk kalah mah anih angdoethaih ahmuen to la pae ving nasoe.
9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.
Anih ih caanawk loe ampa tawn ai ah om o nasoe loe, a zu loe lamhmai ah om nasoe.
10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek [their bread] out of their desolate places.
A caanawk loe ahmuen kruekah amhet hoiah ban patueng o nasoe; kamro a oh o haih im hoiah tacawt o nasoe loe, caaknaek to pakrong o nasoe.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor.
A tawnh ih hmuennawk to hmuenmae coi han paek kami mah la pae boih nasoe; a toksakhaih atho doeh minawk kalah mah lomh pae ving nasoe.
12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
Mi mah doeh anih nuiah tahmenhaih tawn hmah nasoe; ampa tawn ai nawktanawk doeh tahmen o hmah nasoe.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Anih ih caanawk loe anghma angtaa o nasoe; angzo han koi adungah doeh nihcae ih ahmin to phrae o boih nasoe.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Ampanawk sakpazaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng poe nasoe; amno zaehaih to anghma pae hmah nasoe.
15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
Nihcae panoekhaih long hoiah tahmat pae ving hanah, nihcae zaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah om poe nasoe.
16 Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay [them].
Anih loe palungnathaih amtuengsak hanah poek ai, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, palungboeng kaminawk doeh a hum.
17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
Anih loe tangoenghaih to palung pongah, tangoenghaih to anih nuiah krah nasoe; tahamhoihaih koeh ai pongah, tahamhoihaih loe anih khae hoi kangthla ah om nasoe.
18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.
Anih mah loksae to kahni baktiah angkhuk pongah, a zok thungah tui baktih, ahuhnawk thungah situi baktiah akun pae nasoe.
19 Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
Angmah angkhuk ih kahni baktih, kaengah angzaeng poe ih kazii baktiah, a nuiah om pae nasoe.
20 This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
Kai kasaethui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah hae hae tangqum ah paek nasoe.
21 But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name’s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na sah paeh; na palungnathaih loe hoih pongah, na pahlong ah.
22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
Kai loe kam tang, ka tak thung ih palung loe ahma caak boeh.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
Kai loe duembang ih tahlip baktiah ka zaem tathuk boeh; pakhuh baktiah ahnuk ahma kang thuih.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.
Buhzah pongah ka khokkhunawk hae cak ai boeh; ka taksa doeh zaek keng boeh.
25 I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.
Minawk kasaethuih han ih ni ka oh boeh moe, nihcae mah kai ang khet o naah lu ang haek o thuih.
26 Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:
Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na bom ah; na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah,
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; [That] thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
hae loe na ban ni; Angraeng, nang mah ni na sak, tiah panoek o nasoe.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.
Nihcae loe tangoeng o, toe nang loe tahamhoihaih paek ah; nihcae angthawk o naah, azat o nasoe; toe na tamna loe anghoe nasoe.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
Ka misanawk loe azathaih to kahni baktiah angkhuk o nasoe, kahni hoi khuk ih baktiah, mikhmai sethaih to angkhuk o nasoe.
30 I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
Ka pakha hoiah Angraeng to ka pakoeh parai boeh; ue, pop parai salakah anih to ka pakoeh han.
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.
Zaehaih net kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk ih hinghaih pahlong hanah, anih loe amtang kaminawk ih bantang bangah angdoet.
