Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak awi ve ngai law nawhtaw, nam qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na dyngnaak ce kai aham hoeihkhangnaak na awm lah seh.
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
Na tyihzawih ve awi koeh deng cang, kawtih na haiawh ak dyng thlang pynoet awm am awm hy.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
Ka qaal ing ni hquut nawh dek nik khawng na hy; ak thi ce thlangkhqi amyihna thannaak khuiawh ni ta hyt hy.
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
Cedawngawh ka kawk khuiawh kang myihla zai hqoeng nawh; kak kawlung kqihnaak ing be hy.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
Ak kqym a tym khqi poek nyng; na ik-oeih saikhqi boeih ce poek typ typ nyng saw na kut saikhqi ce poek nyng.
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
Nang benna kut phyl law nyng; qamkoh ing tui a ngaih amyihna ka hqingnaak ing nang ce tui amyihna ni ngaih hy.
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
Aw Bawipa, ang tawnna nim hlat lah; kang myihla zai hqoeng hawh hy. Ka venawh na haai koeh thuh law, cemyih am mantaw lawk-kqawng khuina khaw ak sakhqi amyihna awm hau lawt kawng unyng.
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
Amak dyt thai nang a lungnaak ce mymcang ing haw law seh, kawtih nang ni ka ni ypnaak. Ka ceh hly kawi lam nim huh lah, nang benna ka hqingnaak ve hak zoek law nyng.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
Aw Bawipa, ka qaal khqing lak awhkawng ni hul lah, nang ak khuiawh ni kang thuh qu hy.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
Ka Khawsa na na awm a dawngawh, nak kawngaih sai thainaak aham ni cawng sak lah; nang a koe ak leek Myihla ing lamtlang awh ni sawi lah seh.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
Aw Bawipa, nang ming ak caming ka hqingnaak ve khoem law lah; na dyngnaak ak caming kyinaak anglak li awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
Amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing, ka qaalkhqi sit sak lah; na tyihzawih na ka awm a dawngawh, ka qaalkhqi boeih ve hqe law lah.
