Psalms 59
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
Aw Khawsa, ka qaal kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak lah, kai anik qaalnaak thlangkhqi ven awhkawng nik chung lah.
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
Ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak nawh thlang a thi tui na ak ngaihkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
Kaw amyihna kai ami ni mah ce toek lah! Aw Bawipa, kaw thawlhnaak awm am ka sai mai awh, thlak tlungkhqi ing kai ni teng uhy.
4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
Ka sai thawlh ikaw awm am awm hlai hy, kai tuk aham oepchoeh na awm uhy. Kai hul aham tho lah; ka lynaak ve toek lah!
5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
Aw Bawipa Boeimang Khawsa, Israel Khawsa pilnam thlang boeih toel aham tho lah; Thlak chekhqi ce koeh qeen qoe qoe.
6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
Khawmy awh hlat law unawh, uikhqi amyihna thlang oh doena, khawk bau khuiawh thoek uhy.
7 See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
Am khak khui awhkawng a sa ce toek lah - ami hui awhkawng zawzi sa unawh, “U ing nik chah hly paqap?” ti uhy.
8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
Cehlai, Bawipa, nang ing cekkhqi ce qaih na lah; ce pilnam thlangkhqi ce qaih na hawh hyk ti.
9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
Aw kak tha awmnaak, nang ni ka ni qeh; Aw Khawsa, nang taw kai a vawngcak na awm tiksaw,
10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
Ka lungnaak Khawsa na awm hyk ti. Khawsa taw ka hai benawh cet kawmsaw kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi ce kawqepnaak ing ni toek sak kawp ti.
11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
Cehlai, kaimih a phuhqa na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, cekkhqi ce koeh him lah, kak thlangkhqi ing cekkhqi ce qoe sak khqi nawhtaw, zawk sak lah.
12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
Am kha awhkaw thawlhnaak, a huikhqi awhkaw awi awh, a mimah ang oek qunaak awh tu sak nawn lah. Ami seet lawhnaak ingkaw qaai amik kqawnnaak dawngawh,
13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
Nak kawsonaak ing cekkhqi ce milh sak nawhtaw, a mami awmnaak tlaih qoe dy awh milh sak phang tlang lah. Cawhtaw khawmdek a dytnaak dyna Khawsa ing Jacob uk hy tice sim kawm uh.
14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
Khawmy benawh hlat law unawh, uikhqi amyihna thlang oh doena, khawk bau khuiawh thoek uhy.
15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
Buh sui unawh thoek uhy, amik phoen ama phyi awhtaw khy uhy.
16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
Cehlai, kai ingtaw nak thaawmnaak ce laa na sa kawng nyng saw, mymcang awh na lungnaak ce laa na sa vang; kawtih nang taw ka vawngcak, kyinaak ka huh awh kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
Aw kak thaawmnaak, nang kyihcah Khawsa, ka vawngnu na awm hyk ti.
