Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
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 distraught
Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
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 murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
Hete kahlî tûilî ka tho e hoi ka hlout nahanlah, karanglah ka yawng han toe telah ka pouk.
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see 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 encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
Karum khodai pout laipalah, rapan dawk hoi a kâhêi awh teh, kho thung vah thoenae hoi runae lah ao awh,
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
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 is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose 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 humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of 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 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
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 your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Na hnokari hah BAWIPA dawk patue haw, ama ni na hlai han. Tami kalan rawp hane pasoung hoeh.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
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.
