Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.
Aw Bawipa, nang ni ka nik khy; ka venawh ang tawnna law cang. Ka nik khy awh kak awi ve ngai cang lah.
2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Kak cykcahnaak ve na haiawh bawktui na awm seitaw; ka kutphyl ve khawmy ben awhkaw lucik nawn amyihna awm seh.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
Aw Bawipa, kam kha awh khoemkung ta law nawhtaw; ka hui chawmkeng ve qeh law lah.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.
Kak kawlung ve ik-oeih che benna, thlakchekhqi a ik-oeih sainaak ing amak leek ik-oeih ak sai thlangkhqi benna koeh hawi law; a mingmih a buh a an tui awm koeh ni ai sak.
5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Thlak dyng ingtaw ni vyk mai seh – qeennaak dawngawh ni; ni zyi awm ni zyi seh – ka lu awhkaw situi nani a awm. Ka lu ing ap tha na tikaw. Cehlai kak cykcahnaak ing thlakchekhqi a ik-oeih sai ce oelh poepa hy;
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
a ningnih ak ukkungkhqi ce minpoeng na khawng kawm uh, kak awih kqawnkhqi ve ak leek ni ka kqawn tice thlakchekhqi ing sim kawm uh.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Cekkhqi ing, “Thlang ing dek a nawk awh deklai a ah amyihna, kaimih a quhkhqi taw phyi a keng awh theh qu kang hy,” ti kawm uh. (Sheol h7585)
8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Bawipa, ka mik qawi ing nang ni ani dan; nang awh ni kang thuk – thihnaak benna nang ing koeh ni pe.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
Kai aham ami dun law dawng awhkawng ni loet sak nawhtaw; thlakchekhqi ing ami dun law dawng awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Kai taw ngaihding na ka ceh awh, thlakchekhqi taw a mimah a lawk awh awk nawn u seh.
