Psalms 71
1 By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame.
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk; ityk awh awm chah qai koeh ni huh sak.
2 In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline thine ear to me, and save me.
Na dyngnaak ing ni boem nawhtaw ni hul lah; kai benna nang haa hawi law nawhtaw ni hul lah.
3 Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for thou art my fortress and my refuge.
Ka cehnaak loet aham kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh; kai hul aham awi pe lah, kawtih nang taw ka lungnu ingkaw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
AW ka Khawsa, thlak thawlhkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak tlung am tunaak awhkawng ni hul lah.
5 For thou art my support, O Lord; O Lord, [thou art] my hope from my youth.
Aw Boeimang Bawipa, nang taw kang ngaih-unaak kung na awm hyk ti, ka tawng plang awhkawng ka ypnaak na awm hawh hyk ti.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my praise continually.
Ka thang plek ca awhkawng ni nang awh kang hang qu hawh hy; nang ing ka nu puk khui awhkawng nik dawk hyk ti. Nang ve ang loet na nim kyihcah vang.
7 I am become as it were a wonder to many: but thou art [my] strong helper.
Thlang khawzah ang ngaihkyi naak na awm nyng. Cehlai, nang taw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn thy glory, [and] thy majesty all the day.
Kam kha ve nang kyihcahnaak ing be nawh, khawnghi zung na boeimangnaak ce kqawn hy.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
Ka pacawng awh ce nang ing koeh ni qoek sut; kak tha a boeih awh ce koeh ni qoeng sut.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
Ikawtih, ka qaalkhqi ing kai ama ni ngaihnaak awi kqawn unawh; kai him aham anik qehkhqi mi kut oet na hqui qu uhy.
11 saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver [him].
Cekkhqi ing, Khawsa ing qoek hawh hy; hquut u nawhtaw tu uh, u ingawm am hul tang ti kaw,” ti uhy.
12 O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw nigh to my help.
Aw Khawsa, ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak: Aw ka Khawsa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
13 Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.
Kai thawlh anik pukkhqi ce chahqai phyi u seitaw, kai a thawlh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kqawn setnaak ingkaw kaw boetnaak ing sing khqi khoep seh nyng.
14 But I will hope continually, and will praise thee more and more.
Cehlai, kai ingtaw ngaih-unaak ta loet nyng; nang ce nim kyihcah khqoet khqoet kawng nyng.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, [and] thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs [of men].
Kam kha ing nang a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawmsaw, a nyhtahnaak am sim hqawh bai nyng seiawm, na hulnaak ce myngawi na kqawn kawng.
16 I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness only.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, law nyng saw nang ak thaawm ik-oeih saikhqi ce khypyi kawng nyng; nang a koe, nang doeng a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawng nyng.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders;
Aw Khawsa, ka tawng plang awhkawng nang ing ni cawngpyi tiksaw, tuhngawi dy awh nang a kawpoek kyi ik-oeih saikhqi ce kqawn nyng,
18 even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:
Hang pacawng nawh ka lusam kqawk hawh seiawm, Aw Khawsa, nak thaawmnaak ce ak law hly cadilkhqi ingkaw ak law hly thlangkhqi venawh kak kqawn hlan dy, nang ing koeh ni qoek sut.
19 even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which thou has done: O God, who is like to thee?
Aw Khawsa, ik-oeih bau soeih ak saikung, na dyngnaak ing khawnghi hak pha hy, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai?
20 What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.
Kyinaak khawzah papa ingkaw ak kha soeih khawzah na ni huh sak hawh hlai hyk ti, ka hqingnaak ve ni pe tlaih kawp ti, dek a dungnaak a hun awhkawng ni hak dawk tlaih kawp ti.
21 Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.
Ka thangleeknaak pung law sak kawm tiksaw ni ngaih ding law sak tlaih bai kawp ti.
22 I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, [because of] thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to thee on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
Aw ka Khawsa, na ypawmnaak awh nang ce tingtoeng ing nim kyihcah kawng nyng saw; Aw Israel a thlak ciim, qaw tingtoeng tum doena nang kyihcahnaak laa ce sa vang.
23 My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Nang kyihcahnaak laa ka sak awh ce ka hui ve zeel doena khy kaw. Kai ve nang ing ni, nani hul hy.
24 Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
Kam lai ing nang a ik-oeih sai ak dyng ce khawnghi zung kqawn kaw, kawtih kai tlawh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce chahqai phyi unawh ngaihang tumna awm hawh uhy.
