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.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kai na ka tarannaw hah, taran van haw. Kai na katuknaw hah tuk van haw.
2 Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.
Taisawm hoi bahling lat nateh, kai kabawp hanelah kangdout haw.
3 Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Tahroe hai patuem nateh, na kapâleinaw hah ngang haw. Ka hringnae koe vah na kaie rungngangnae doeh tie dei haw.
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 hringnae la hanelah, kakâcainaw hah kayayeirai hoi awm sak nateh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah yawng sak nateh, lungpout hoi awm sak haw.
5 Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.
Kahlî ni vaikong palek e patetlah awm awh naseh. BAWIPA e kalvantami ni koung kahmat lah pâlei naseh.
6 Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.
Ahnimouh ni a dawn awh e lamthung teh, kahmot e, ka pâhnan e lam lah awm naseh. Hawvah, BAWIPA e kalvantaminaw ni pâlei naseh.
7 For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a khuekhaw awm laipalah, ka kâman nahanelah arulahoi tamlawk a yap awh toe. A khuekhaw awm laipalah, ka bo nahane tangkom a tai awh.
8 Let destruction come on them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same destruction.
Pouk laipalah ahnimouh teh rawk awh naseh. Arulahoi tamlawk a yap awh e dawk amamouh kâman awh naseh. Amamae tangkom dawk amamouh bawt awh naseh.
9 And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.
Ka hringnae heh BAWIPA dawk a lunghawi vaiteh, a rungngangnae dawk a konawm han.
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.
Ka hru pueng ni, BAWIPA nang patetlah apimaw kaawm. Ahnimouh hlak a tha kaawmnaw thung hoi mathoenaw hah na rasa. Bokheiyah, mathoe hoi ka voutthoup e hah, ahnimouh karaphoekung thung hoi na rungngang toe, ati awh han.
11 False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.
Kapanuekkhai kaphawk a tho awh teh, ka panue hoeh e naw hah na pacei awh.
12 They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.
Ka muitha lungmathoe sak nahanelah, hawinae hah thoenae hoi a patho awh.
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.
Hatei, kai niteh, a pataw awh navah, buri ka kâkhu, rawcahai hoi kârahnoum hoi ka o. Hahoi, ka ratoumnae teh ka lungthin koe letlang a ban.
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.
Hui hoi hmaunawngha ka khui e patetlah, manu hoi ka khui e patetlah ka kâhlai teh ka tabut.
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.
Hatei, ahnimouh niteh, ka kangduenae a mathoe toteh, konawm laihoi a kamkhueng awh. Na ka tarannaw teh cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, hot hah ka panuek hoeh. Kâhat laipalah, koung na phi awh.
16 Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.
Cathutlaipa e naw ni, pawibu vennae koe na panuikhai awh teh, a hâkam na kata sin awh.
17 Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.
BAWIPA nâtotouh maw sut na khet han. Raphoe hanlah kâcainae thung hoi na rungngang haw. Sendek koehoi ka hringnae hah hlout sak haw.
18 I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.
Ka lentoe e kamkhuengnae koe, konawmnae lawk hah ka dei vaiteh, tami moikapap hmalah ka pholen han.
19 Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.
Laithoehrawnghrang lahoi ka tarannaw ni kai dawk a konawm hanh naseh. A khuekhaw awm laipalah, na kahmuhmanaw ni, na hmaiet hanh naseh.
20 For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, roumnae lawk hah dei awh hoeh niteh, hete ram taminaw duem ao awh lahunnah, dumnae lawk dueng doeh a dei awh.
21 Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.
A pahni na ang sin awh teh, vehveh, ka mit hoi ka hmu toe ati awh.
22 You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
Oe BAWIPA, het heh na hmu doeh. Duem awm hanh. Oe BAWIPA, na hlat takhai hanh.
23 Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.
Ka Cathut hoi ka BAWIPA, kai dawk ka phat e lawkceng hane kabawp hanelah, kâhlaw nateh, thaw haw.
24 Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.
Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, na lannae lahoi lawk na ceng pouh haw. Kai dawk a konawm awh nahanh 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.
Ahnimouh ni a lung thung hoi maimae lungngai akuep han toe, koung payawp awh han toe tet awh hanh naseh.
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.
Ka rucatnae dawk a lungkahawi e naw hah, kayak awh naseh. Kai lathueng kâoupnaw hah kayayeirai hoi awm awh naseh.
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 lannae dawk kanawmkhaikung teh, lunghawi hoi la sak naseh. A san dawk a lung ka hawi e BAWIPA teh, pholen lah awm seh telah pou dei awh naseh.
28 And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.
Hahoi, ka lai ni na lannae lawk a dei vaiteh, kanîruirui nang na pholen han.
