Psalms 142

1 The understanding of David. A prayer, when he was in the cave. With my voice, I cried out to the Lord. With my voice, I made supplication to the Lord.

Keima Yahweh Pakai henga kataovin, Yahweh Pakai henga khotona kathum in ahi.

2 In his sight, I pour out my prayer, and before him, I declare my tribulation.

Keima Yahweh Pakai ang-sunga kakiphin in, kahahsatna jouse jong kaphongdoh'in.

3 Though my spirit may become faint within me, even then, you have known my paths. Along this way, which I have been walking, they have hidden a snare for me.

Kalhagao alam vai jitan, hinlah Yahweh Pakai nangbou nahi kachena ding lampi ei-hil ji. Kajotna lam'a chun ei-douten thang eikam peh jiuvin ahi.

4 I considered toward the right, and I looked, but there was no one who would know me. Flight has perished before me, and there is no one who has concern for my soul.

Keiman mikhat tou hunga eipanpi ding kangaichat lai jin, koiman amitsih jenga jong eive poi! Koimacha eikithopi ding aumpoi, kachunga thilsoh koiman imachan eigelpeh poi.

5 I cried out to you, O Lord. I said: You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

O Yahweh Pakai, keima na henga kataovin, “Nangma hi kakiselna nahi, kahinkhoa kangaichat pen nang bou nahi,” kati.

6 Attend to my supplication. For I have been humbled exceedingly. Free me from my persecutors, for they have been fortified against me.

Kataona hi nei ngaipeh teijin, ei-kisunem behseh jeng tai! Ei-bolgenthei hoa kon'in neihuhdoh tan, ajeh chu amaho keisang in ahatval jeng tauve.

7 Lead my soul out of confinement in order to confess your name. The just are waiting for me, until you repay me.

Songkul'a kon'in neihuhdoh loijin, chutileh nangma kathangvah thei ding ahi. Lolhing tah'a neibol jeh'a kajet le kaveija mikitah dim lha diu ahi.
