Psalms 31
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk hy, chah koeh ni phyih sak; na dyngnaak awh ce ni hul lah.
2 Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.
Nang haa keng law nawhtaw, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah; kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh, ka hulkung vawngcak na awm lah.
3 For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.
Nang taw kang thuknaak ingkaw ka vawngnu na, na awm a dawngawh nang ming ak caming ni ceh pyi nawhtaw ni hqui lah.
4 Take me out of the net which they have put ready for me secretly; for you are my strength.
Ka haiawh a dun qu thang awhkawng ni loet sak lah, nang taw kang thuknaak kung na na awm a dawngawh.
5 Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.
Na kut awh kang myihla ni pe nyng; Aw Bawipa awitak Khawsa ni hul lah.
6 I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.
Kawna amak awm myiqawl ak bawkkhqi ce sawh na nyng saw; Bawipa ce ypna nyng.
7 I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;
Na lungnaak awh ce zeelmang ing awm vang, kawtih nang ing ka kyinaak ce hu law tiksaw kang myihla ing a khuikhanaak ce sim hyk ti.
8 And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.
Ka qaal a venawh amni pe nawh ka khaw qawi ve hun nepnaak awh ning dyih sak hyk ti.
9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.
Aw Bawipa ngaihang kawbin na ka awm a dawngawh, kai ve nim qeen lah; kak kawseet aih awh mik awm am dai hqa voel nyng; kang myihla ingkaw ka pum awm kawseet lungnat zawk hy.
10 My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.
Ka hqingnaak ve kawsetnaak ing daih nawh ka kumkhqi awm ko ang kqangnaak ing khaw kum boeih hy; ka khuikha aih awh kak tha awm boet hqoeng nawh, ka quh awm ak tha am awm voel hy.
11 Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.
Ka qaalkhqi dawngawh, ka pilnamkhqi ing ni hep unawh; ka pyikhqi ing nik kqih uhy - lam awh kai anik hukhqi ing ni centaak boeih uhy.
12 I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.
Ak thi hawh amyihna cekkhqi ing nim hilh boeih uhy; dek-am ak kqek zak amyihna ni ka awm hqoeng hawh.
13 False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
Thlang khawzah ing a mini tengnaak awi doeng za nyng; voei a vang awh kqihnaak hqoeng na awm hy; kai ing am ka ngaihnaak ben awh ce za qu unawh ka hqingnaak him aham cai uhy.
14 But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
Cehlai, Bawipa nang ni ka ni ypnaak; “nang taw ka Khawsa ni” ti nyng.
15 The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.
Ka tymkhqi ve nang a kut khuiawh ni a awm; ka qaalkhqi ingkaw kai anik hqutkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
16 Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
Na tyihzawih ak khan awh na haai hlangpan sak nawh; amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing ni hul lah.
17 Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
Aw Bawipa, chah koeh ni phyih sak, nang a venawh ni kak khy law; cehlai thlak chekhqi taw chah phyih sak nawh phyi khuiawh awimyh na zaih sak khing lah. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
Cekkhqi ing qaai awi amik kqawnnaak hui ce sit sak lah, oek qunaak ingkaw hepnaak ing thlakdyngkhqi ce amik kaa naak a dawngawh.
19 O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!
Nang anik kqihkhqi aham cun pe nawh, thlanghqingkhqi haiawh nang awh ak thukkhqi aham na taak zoseennaak taw bau soeih hy.
20 You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.
Ang hyp na ak tengkungkhqi ven awhkawng na haai awhkaw awmnaak hun awh ak mawng na ta hyk ti.
21 May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.
Khawk bau cak awh ka awm awh kawpoek kyi qeennaak ce ang dang law sak a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng.
22 And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.
Ka ly aih awh, “ning hawi taak valh hawh amih hyk ti!” ti nyng. Cehlai, qeennaak ka thoeh law awh ce qeennaak ing kak khynaak awi ce ngai law hyk ti.
23 O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.
A thlakciimkhqi boeih aw, Bawipa ce lungna lah uh! Bawipa ing ypawm thlangkhqi ce hqui a sawi nawh ak oek qu thlangkhqi taw a khawboe amyihna thung pehy.
24 Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.
Nangmih Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi boeih namik tha awm sak unawh na mim thin caksak lah uh.
