Psalms 35
1 Of David. O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.
Aw Bawipa, kai anik eek thlangkhqi ce nang ing mele sih nawhtaw; kai anik tukkhqi ce nang ing tuk lah.
2 Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.
Phura ingkaw kqang dahnaak ce lo lah; tho nawh kai bawm aham law lah.
3 Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Kai anik hquutkhqi haiawh cai thlek pek khqi nawh mam khqi khoep lah, Ka hqingnaak venawh, “Kai taw nang a hulnaak ni,” tina lah.
4 Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak suikhqi ce amik kaw boet seitaw chah phyi u seh; kai plawci sak aham amik za qukhqi ce kqih doe ing huna voei tlaih u seh.
5 Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.
Zilh ing a zawn canghi amyihna awm u seitaw, Bawipa a khan ceityih khqi ing cekkhqi ce ak chang na hquut u seh;
6 Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.
A cehnaak lam ce hyp pe seitaw hal pe seh, Bawipa ak khan ceityihkhqi ing cekkhqi ce hquut seh.
7 For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.
Ikaw am mai awh kang awhnaak aham lawk zan unawh kai aham lawk-kqawng co law uhy,
8 Let destruction come on them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same destruction.
poek kaana cekkhqik khan awh seetnaak ing pha tawk qat seh a mimah ing ami zan lawk awh a mimah awk nawn u seh, a seetnaak aham a mimah a lawk-kqawng awh tla nawn u seh.
9 And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.
Cawh Bawipa awh ka hqingnaak zeel kawmsaw a hulnaak awh ce kak kaw zeel kaw.
10 All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.
Cawh kang coengnaak boeih boeih ing, “Bawipa, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai? Tha ak awm soeihkhqi anglakawhkawng khawdengkhqi ce nang ing hul hyk ti, a mingmih ak mukkung a kut khui awhkawng khawdengkhqi ingkaw thlang ak voethlauhkhqi ce hul hyk ti,” tinawh kqawn kaw.
11 False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.
Qeennaak amak ta dyihthing qawlkhqi haina thoeih unawh; am ka sim ik-oeihkhqi ing ni deng uhy.
12 They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.
Ik-oeih leek ce ik-oeih che ing ni thung unawh ka hqingnaak ve a sungnaak aham cehta uhy.
13 But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.
Cehlai, cekkhqi ami tlawh awhtaw, kai ingtaw tlamhi byng nawh buh zehnaak ing chung na awm nyng. Kak cykcahnaak hlat na ama awm awh ce,
14 My behaviour was as if it had been my friend or my brother: I was bent low in grief like one whose mother is dead.
ka pyi ingkaw ka koeina amih koep na kqah sih nyng. Ka nu ak thi amyihna kawseet aih awh koep nawh kqap nyng.
15 But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.
Cehlai kangbah awhtaw, cekkhqi ce zeel unawh cun uhy, am ka simkhqi ing ni sawi loet uhy.
16 Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.
Khawsa kawna amak hu thlang qaihna amik kqawn amyihna, ami ha ni tah sih uhy.
17 Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.
Aw Bawipa, ityk dy nu nani toek hly hqoeng? Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak caikhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, a phuk tlo soeih ka hqingnaak ve samthyynkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
18 I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.
Thlangkqeng ang cunnaak awh nang ce ni ym kawng nyng saw; thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh nang ce ni zoeksang kawng.
19 Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.
Kaw am mai awh ka qaalkhqi ing kawqep doena koeh ni toek u seh; ikaw am mai awh kai anik sawhnaakkhqi ing mik koeh ni hqip sih u seh.
20 For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.
Cekkhqi ing qoepnaak awi kqawn kaana, qam khuiawh a ding a syk na ak awmkhqi ce thainaak aham qaai puk uhy.
21 Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.
Ni aang sih unawh, “A ha! A ha! Ni mik qoe ing ni hu hawh saw ve,” ni tina uhy.
22 You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
Bawipa vekkhqi ve na huh hawh dawngawh; koeh ni awm taak poek poek lah. Bawipa ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak lah.
23 Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.
Kai hul aham hqyng nawhtaw, dyi lah! Ka Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa, kang zyng na cekkhqi mi noek qu lah uh.
24 Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, na dyngnaak ak caming awi tlyk law lah; cekkhqi mi koeh ni kqep sih seh.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.
Cekkhqi ce, ce pai seh, vemyihna maw ni ngaih qoe pai,” ce am awhtaw, “Amah taw nik daih koe noek,” tinawh koeh poek sak.
26 Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.
Kak kawseetnaak awh kaw anik qep sihkhqi ce chah phyi u seitaw ngaih kyinaak hu u seh; kak khan awh ak zoeksang qu plakkhqi ce chahnaak ingkaw ngaih kyinaak ing sing khoep seh nyng.
27 Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.
Ka dyngnaak awh ak zeel thlangkhqi taw awmhly doena khy useh; cekkhqi ing, “A tyihzawih a ik-oeih leek ak ym, Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh,” ti phat u seh nyng.
28 And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.
Kam lai ing nang a dyngnaak awi kqawn kawmsaw hypoet pyr awh na kyihcahnaak awi kqawn kaw.
