Psalms 35
1 Of David himself. O Lord, judge those who harm me; assail those who attack me.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kai na ka tarannaw hah, taran van haw. Kai na katuknaw hah tuk van haw.
2 Take hold of weapons and a shield, and rise up in assistance to me.
Taisawm hoi bahling lat nateh, kai kabawp hanelah kangdout haw.
3 Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Tahroe hai patuem nateh, na kapâleinaw hah ngang haw. Ka hringnae koe vah na kaie rungngangnae doeh tie dei haw.
4 Let them be confounded and in awe, who pursue my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded, who think up evil against me.
Ka hringnae la hanelah, kakâcainaw hah kayayeirai hoi awm sak nateh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah yawng sak nateh, lungpout hoi awm sak haw.
5 May they become like dust before the face of the wind, and let the Angel of the Lord hem them in.
Kahlî ni vaikong palek e patetlah awm awh naseh. BAWIPA e kalvantami ni koung kahmat lah pâlei naseh.
6 May their way become dark and slippery, and may the Angel of the Lord pursue them.
Ahnimouh ni a dawn awh e lamthung teh, kahmot e, ka pâhnan e lam lah awm naseh. Hawvah, BAWIPA e kalvantaminaw ni pâlei naseh.
7 For, without cause, they have concealed their snare for me unto destruction. Over nothing, they have rebuked my soul.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a khuekhaw awm laipalah, ka kâman nahanelah arulahoi tamlawk a yap awh toe. A khuekhaw awm laipalah, ka bo nahane tangkom a tai awh.
8 Let the snare, of which he is ignorant, come upon him, and let the deception, which he has hidden, take hold of him: and may he fall into that very snare.
Pouk laipalah ahnimouh teh rawk awh naseh. Arulahoi tamlawk a yap awh e dawk amamouh kâman awh naseh. Amamae tangkom dawk amamouh bawt awh naseh.
9 But my soul will exult in the Lord and delight over his salvation.
Ka hringnae heh BAWIPA dawk a lunghawi vaiteh, a rungngangnae dawk a konawm han.
10 All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you?” He rescues the needy from the hand of the stronger one, the indigent and the poor from those who plunder him.
Ka hru pueng ni, BAWIPA nang patetlah apimaw kaawm. Ahnimouh hlak a tha kaawmnaw thung hoi mathoenaw hah na rasa. Bokheiyah, mathoe hoi ka voutthoup e hah, ahnimouh karaphoekung thung hoi na rungngang toe, ati awh han.
11 Unfair witnesses have risen up, interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.
Kapanuekkhai kaphawk a tho awh teh, ka panue hoeh e naw hah na pacei awh.
12 They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul.
Ka muitha lungmathoe sak nahanelah, hawinae hah thoenae hoi a patho awh.
13 But as for me, when they were harassing me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will become my sinews.
Hatei, kai niteh, a pataw awh navah, buri ka kâkhu, rawcahai hoi kârahnoum hoi ka o. Hahoi, ka ratoumnae teh ka lungthin koe letlang a ban.
14 Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
Hui hoi hmaunawngha ka khui e patetlah, manu hoi ka khui e patetlah ka kâhlai teh ka tabut.
15 And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
Hatei, ahnimouh niteh, ka kangduenae a mathoe toteh, konawm laihoi a kamkhueng awh. Na ka tarannaw teh cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, hot hah ka panuek hoeh. Kâhat laipalah, koung na phi awh.
16 They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.
Cathutlaipa e naw ni, pawibu vennae koe na panuikhai awh teh, a hâkam na kata sin awh.
17 Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.
BAWIPA nâtotouh maw sut na khet han. Raphoe hanlah kâcainae thung hoi na rungngang haw. Sendek koehoi ka hringnae hah hlout sak haw.
18 I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.
Ka lentoe e kamkhuengnae koe, konawmnae lawk hah ka dei vaiteh, tami moikapap hmalah ka pholen han.
19 May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.
Laithoehrawnghrang lahoi ka tarannaw ni kai dawk a konawm hanh naseh. A khuekhaw awm laipalah, na kahmuhmanaw ni, na hmaiet hanh naseh.
20 For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, roumnae lawk hah dei awh hoeh niteh, hete ram taminaw duem ao awh lahunnah, dumnae lawk dueng doeh a dei awh.
21 And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, “Well, well, our eyes have seen.”
A pahni na ang sin awh teh, vehveh, ka mit hoi ka hmu toe ati awh.
22 You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.
Oe BAWIPA, het heh na hmu doeh. Duem awm hanh. Oe BAWIPA, na hlat takhai hanh.
23 Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Ka Cathut hoi ka BAWIPA, kai dawk ka phat e lawkceng hane kabawp hanelah, kâhlaw nateh, thaw haw.
24 Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, and do not let them be glad over me.
Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, na lannae lahoi lawk na ceng pouh haw. Kai dawk a konawm awh nahanh seh.
25 Do not let them say in their hearts, “Well, well, to our soul.” Neither let them say, “We have devoured him.”
Ahnimouh ni a lung thung hoi maimae lungngai akuep han toe, koung payawp awh han toe tet awh hanh naseh.
26 Let them blush and be in awe together, those who congratulate at my misfortunes. Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, who speak great things against me.
Ka rucatnae dawk a lungkahawi e naw hah, kayak awh naseh. Kai lathueng kâoupnaw hah kayayeirai hoi awm awh naseh.
27 Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice, and let them ever say, “The Lord be magnified,” who will the peace of his servant.
Ka lannae dawk kanawmkhaikung teh, lunghawi hoi la sak naseh. A san dawk a lung ka hawi e BAWIPA teh, pholen lah awm seh telah pou dei awh naseh.
28 And so my tongue will express your justice: your praise all day long.
Hahoi, ka lai ni na lannae lawk a dei vaiteh, kanîruirui nang na pholen han.
