Psalms 109
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
Kai ing kam kyih, Aw Khawsa, awi myhna koeh awm hqoeng,
2 O God, do not be silent toward my praise, for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful one have been opened against me.
kawtih thlakchekhqi ingkaw thlak thaikhqi ing amim kha ni ang sih khqi nawh; ami qaai ce kqawn uhy.
3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues, and they have surrounded me with hateful words, and they fought against me over nothing.
Sawhnaak awi ing nik chung khqi nawh, akawng a awm kaana ni tuk khqi hy.
4 Instead of choosing to act on my behalf, they detracted me. But I gave myself to prayer.
Ka pyi na ka taaknaak ce thawlh puknaak na haw law na uhy, cehlai kai taw ak cykcah thlang na awm nyng.
5 And they set evil against me, instead of good, and hatred, in return for my love.
A leek ce ak che ing thung law unawh, pyi na ka taaknaak cesawhnaak ing thung law uhy.
6 Establish the sinner over him, and let the devil stand at his right hand.
Anih ak oelh aham thlakche ce taak pe tloep; thawlh a pukkung ce ak tang ben awh pha seh.
7 When he is judged, may he go forth in condemnation, and may his prayer be counted as sin.
Awideng na a awm awh, dawk lo seitaw, ak cykcahnaak ing dawk sak seh.
8 May his days be few, and let another take his episcopate.
A hqinglu tawi pe seitaw; thlakchang ing hquikung dyih hun ce qawt pe tloep seh.
9 May his sons be orphans, and his wife a widow.
A cakhqi cadah na awm u seitaw a zukhqi nuhai na awm u seh.
10 May his sons be carried by those who walk unsteadily, and may they go begging. And may they be cast out of their dwelling places.
A cakhqi ing kut dun doena van u seitaw; a imqawk awhkawng hqek na awm u seh.
11 May the money lenders scrutinize all his belongings, and let foreigners plunder his labors.
Ik-oeih a capung na ak pukhqi ing a khawhthemkhqi ce lawh pe boeih u seitaw; a bibinaak phu ce khinkhqi ing muk pe bang seh.
12 May there be no one to assist him, nor anyone to be compassionate to his orphaned children.
U ingawm koeh qeen seitaw pa amak ta naasenkhqi awm koeh qeen u seh.
13 May his posterity be in utter ruin. In one generation, may his name be wiped away.
A cadil naa ce law boet seitaw, ak law hly kawi chawn awhkaw ming khui awhkawng qeng u seh.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers return in memory before the sight of the Lord, and do not let the sin of his mother be wiped away.
Ami pakhqi thawlhnaak ce Bawipa hai awh sim loet na awm seitaw ami nu a thawlhnaak ce koeh qeng voel seh.
15 May these be opposite the Lord always, but let their memory perish from the earth.
Cekkhqi sim loetnaak ce khawmdek awh a law boetnaak aham a mingmih a thawlhnaak ce Bawipa haiawh awm loet seh.
16 For certain things are not remembered about them, in order to be merciful.
Ikawtih qeennaak tive poek awm ap poek qoe qoe hy, khawdeng ak voet hlauhkhqi ingkaw kawlung ak kqekkhqi ce him aham hqut hy.
17 And so the destitute man was pursued, with the beggar and the remorseful in heart, so as to be put to death.
Lihoei ce lungna hy – amah ak khan awh tla tloep seh; thlang a zoseennaak awh ak kaw am law hy – zoseennaak ce anih a venawh kawng ak hla na awm lawt seh.
18 And he loved a curse, and it came to him. And he was unwilling to have a blessing, and it went far from him. And he clothed himself with curses like a garment, and it entered his inner self like water, and it entered his bones like oil.
Lihoei ce hi na bai nawh; a pum khuiawh tui amyihna kun pehy.
19 May it be to him like a garment that covers him, and like a belt that always cinches him.
Ce ing angki amyihna zawl khak seitaw cawi pinnaak amyihna kumqui dy pin seh.
20 This is the work of those who detract me with the Lord and who speak evils against my soul.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi ingkaw, kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi a venawh Bawipa ing ve ve thaphu na pe seh.
21 But as for you, Lord, O Lord: act on my behalf for your name’s sake. For your mercy is sweet.
Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Khawsa, nang ing nang ming ak caming ak leek na ni sai nawh; na lungnaak ak leek ak caming ni hul lah.
22 Free me, for I am destitute and poor, and my heart has been disquieted within me.
Khawdeng ingkaw voethlauh thlang na awm nyng saw, kak kawk khuiawh ak lingbyi ing ngawha ai hy.
23 I have been taken away like a shadow when it declines, and I have been shaken off like locusts.
Khawmy ben awhkaw khawngkawn amyihna nung thoeih hawh nyng saw; khamkhawk amyihna tlai let let nyng.
24 My knees have been weakened by fasting, and my flesh has been replaced by oil.
Buh ka hyhnaak awh kam khawkhlu qawi am cak voel hy; kang sak boeih qep qep nawh a tankqat na awm hqoeng nyng.
25 And I have become a disgrace to them. They saw me, and they shook their heads.
Thawlh anik puk khqi ak kqawnseet aham awm kqoeng nyng saw; a mini huh awh ami lu hil uhy.
26 Help me, O Lord, my God. Save me according to your mercy.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni hul lah; na lungnaak ak caming ni hul cang lah.
27 And let them know that this is your hand, and that you, O Lord, have done this.
Ve ve nang a kut ni tice sim sak nawh, Aw Bawipa, nang ing ni na sai tice sim sak lah.
28 They will curse, and you will bless. May those who rise up against me be confounded. But your servant will rejoice.
Cekkhqi ing khawseet hly hlai uhy, nang ingtaw zoseen pe hyk ti; cekkhqi ing ami tuk awh chah phyi kawm uh, cehlai nang a tyihzawih taw zeel kaw.
29 May those who detract me be clothed with shame, and may they be covered with their confusion, as if with a double cloak.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi taw ming seetnaak ce hi amyihna bai kawm u saw chahnaak ing angki amyihna zawl qu khoep kawm uh.
30 I will confess exceedingly to the Lord with my mouth. And I will praise him in the midst of the multitude.
Kam kha ing Bawipa ce khawzah na zoeksang kawng nyng saw; thlang kqeng khawzah anglakawh amah kyihcah kawng nyng.
31 For he stands at the right hand of the poor, in order to save my soul from persecutors.
Ikawtih anik palh sak khqi a venawh kawng anih a hqingnaak ce hul peek aham anih taw ak voethlauhkhqi ak tang ben awh dyi hy.
