Psalms 40
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and hearkened to my supplication.
Bawipa ce kawdungnaak ing ka qeh dawngawh; kai benna mang law nawh kang kqangnaak awi ce za hy.
2 And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
Lawk-kqawng dek nawng ak plai ak khui awhkawng nik dawk nawh, lungnu awh ka khaw ce ni leh sak hy, kang dyihnaak na hun nep ce ni pehy.
3 And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
Ningmih a Khawsa kyihcahnaak lak thai ce kam kha awh ta law hy. Thlang khawzah ing ami huh awh ce kqih kawm usaw Bawipa ce ypna kawm uh.
4 Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
Bawipa ak ypnaak thlang, amak thym khawsakhqi benna hawi unawh ak oek qu thlang amak toek taw a zoseen hy.
5 O Lord my God, thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, and in thy thoughts there is none who shall be likened to thee: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, kawpoek kyi na saikhqi doem soeih hy. Kaimih aham ik-oeih na qaalkhqi ve a doem soeih a dawngawh u ingawm am dang sak thai noeng hy, cemyihkhqi ce kqawn qoe nyng seiawm, noet noeng kaa ingkaw kqawn noeng kaana doem soeih hy.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and [sacrifice] for sin thou didst not require.
Bulnaak lucik nawn ce am hy tiksaw, kang haa ni vyh pe hawh hyk ti; hyih phumnaak ingkaw thawlh bulnaak ce am ngoe hyk ti.
7 Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
Cawhtaw kai ing, “Vena awm nyng, law hawh nyng cahawn khuiawh ka kawng qee na awm hawh hy.
8 I desired to do thy will, O my God, and thy law in the midst of mine heart.
Aw ka Khawsa, nak kawngaih ce sai aham hy nawh; na anaa awi ce kak kawlung awh khoem khak nyng,” ka ti.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness.
Dyngnaak ce thlangkqeng anglakawh kqawn nawh; AW Bawipa na sim hawh amyihna ka hui am khyp nyng.
10 I have not hid thy truth within my heart, and I have declared thy salvation; I have not hid thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation.
Na dyngnaak ce kak kawk khuiawh am thuh nyng saw; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na hulnaak khqi ce kqawn nyng. Thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh na lungnaak awitak ce am phah nyng.
11 But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually.
Aw Bawipa, nam qeennaak ce ka hamna koeh hlawh lah; na lungnaak ingkaw nak awitak ing nik chung poepa seh.
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
Ikawtih, noet boeih kaa kyinaakkhqi ing nik chung khoep nawh; ka thawlhnaak ing anik chung hawh dawngawh, ka mik am dang voel hy. Ka lu awhkaw ka lusam anglakawh doem khqoet unawh, kak kaw boet hqoeng hy.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw nigh to help me.
Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham nak kaw zeel sak lah; Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
14 Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak tengkhqi ce chah qai phyi kawt na awm u seitaw ngai hangtum na awm lah u seh; kai plawci sak aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kawboet doena hlat u seh.
15 Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
A ha! kai anik tinaakkhqi ce amik chah aih awh cat lyt lyt u seh.
16 Let all those that seek thee, O Lord, exult and rejoice in thee; and let them that love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Cehlai, nang anik suikhqi boeih taw zeel u seitaw nang ak khan awh ce amik kaw zeel seh; ang quina, “Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh!” ti u seh.
17 But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; thou art my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
Cehlai, kai taw khawdeng thlang ingkaw ak syt thlang na awm nyng; Bawipa ing nik poek seh. Nang taw ka hulkung ingkaw anik hulkung na awm hyk ti; Aw ka Khawsa, koeh yih.
