Psalms 28
1 A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.
Aw Bawipa ka lungnu, namah ni ka nik khy; am hlat kaana koeh ni awm taak. Nang ing am na ning ngainaak awhtaw lawk-kqawng khuiawh ak tlakhqi amyihna ni ka awm hly.
2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
Nam qeennaak huh aham ni doet nyng, na hun caih soeih benna ka kut qawi ka soeng law awh qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah.
3 Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.
Thlak chekhqi, ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi mi koeh nik dawh sih qen, cekkhqi ing a pilnamkhqi venawh zeelnaak awi taw kqawn kaa lawt hlai uhy, ak kawlung khui awhtaw ak che khqoet ni a awm.
4 Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.
Ak che ik-oeih ami sainaak amyihna thung pek khqi tloep lawt lah; a mimah ing ak tyng na amah a kut sainaak ce thung pe lah.
5 Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.
Bawipa a bibinaakkhqi ingkaw a kut saikhqi ce kaw na awm a maming ngaih dawngawh, cekkhqi ce khqai poet poet kawmsaw ityk awh awm am thawh khqi voel tikaw.
6 Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.
Qeennaak ka thoehnaak khqi ve a ning zaak peek a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh zoeksangnaak awm seh nyng.
7 The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.
Bawipa taw kak thaawmnaak ingkaw ka phuhqa na awm hy; kak kawlung ing amah ce ka ypnaak a dawngawh ni bawm hy. Kak kaw zeel soeih nawh amah venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn doena laa sa vang.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.
Bawipa taw ak thlangkhqi ham thaawmnaak na awm nawh, amah ing a caksak thlangkhqi ham hulnaak vawngcak na awm hy.
9 O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
Nak thlangkhqi ce hul nawhtaw na qo ak pangkhqi ce zosennaak pe lah; a mingmih a tuudoenkung na awm nawh kumqui dyna khai khqi loet lah.
