Psalms 40
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
Bawipa ce kawdungnaak ing ka qeh dawngawh; kai benna mang law nawh kang kqangnaak awi ce za hy.
2 And he heard my prayers and he led me out of the pit of misery and the quagmire. And he stationed my feet upon a rock, and he directed my steps.
Lawk-kqawng dek nawng ak plai ak khui awhkawng nik dawk nawh, lungnu awh ka khaw ce ni leh sak hy, kang dyihnaak na hun nep ce ni pehy.
3 And he sent a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many will see, and they will fear; and they will hope in the Lord.
Ningmih a Khawsa kyihcahnaak lak thai ce kam kha awh ta law hy. Thlang khawzah ing ami huh awh ce kqih kawm usaw Bawipa ce ypna kawm uh.
4 Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.
Bawipa ak ypnaak thlang, amak thym khawsakhqi benna hawi unawh ak oek qu thlang amak toek taw a zoseen hy.
5 You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, kawpoek kyi na saikhqi doem soeih hy. Kaimih aham ik-oeih na qaalkhqi ve a doem soeih a dawngawh u ingawm am dang sak thai noeng hy, cemyihkhqi ce kqawn qoe nyng seiawm, noet noeng kaa ingkaw kqawn noeng kaana doem soeih hy.
6 Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.
Bulnaak lucik nawn ce am hy tiksaw, kang haa ni vyh pe hawh hyk ti; hyih phumnaak ingkaw thawlh bulnaak ce am ngoe hyk ti.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me:
Cawhtaw kai ing, “Vena awm nyng, law hawh nyng cahawn khuiawh ka kawng qee na awm hawh hy.
8 that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.
Aw ka Khawsa, nak kawngaih ce sai aham hy nawh; na anaa awi ce kak kawlung awh khoem khak nyng,” ka ti.
9 I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.
Dyngnaak ce thlangkqeng anglakawh kqawn nawh; AW Bawipa na sim hawh amyihna ka hui am khyp nyng.
10 I have not concealed your justice within my heart. I have spoken your truth and your salvation. I have not concealed your mercy and your truth from a great assembly.
Na dyngnaak ce kak kawk khuiawh am thuh nyng saw; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na hulnaak khqi ce kqawn nyng. Thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh na lungnaak awitak ce am phah nyng.
11 O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.
Aw Bawipa, nam qeennaak ce ka hamna koeh hlawh lah; na lungnaak ingkaw nak awitak ing nik chung poepa seh.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me. My iniquities have taken hold of me, and I was not able to see. They have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. And my heart has forsaken me.
Ikawtih, noet boeih kaa kyinaakkhqi ing nik chung khoep nawh; ka thawlhnaak ing anik chung hawh dawngawh, ka mik am dang voel hy. Ka lu awhkaw ka lusam anglakawh doem khqoet unawh, kak kaw boet hqoeng hy.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham nak kaw zeel sak lah; Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
14 Let them together be confounded and awed, who seek after my soul to steal it away. Let them be turned back and be in awe, who wish evils upon me.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak tengkhqi ce chah qai phyi kawt na awm u seitaw ngai hangtum na awm lah u seh; kai plawci sak aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kawboet doena hlat u seh.
15 Let them bear their confusion all at once, who say to me, “Well, well.”
A ha! kai anik tinaakkhqi ce amik chah aih awh cat lyt lyt u seh.
16 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice over you. And let those who love your salvation always say, “May the Lord be magnified.”
Cehlai, nang anik suikhqi boeih taw zeel u seitaw nang ak khan awh ce amik kaw zeel seh; ang quina, “Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh!” ti u seh.
17 But I am a beggar and poor. The Lord has been concerned about me. You are my helper and my protector. My God, do not delay.
Cehlai, kai taw khawdeng thlang ingkaw ak syt thlang na awm nyng; Bawipa ing nik poek seh. Nang taw ka hulkung ingkaw anik hulkung na awm hyk ti; Aw ka Khawsa, koeh yih.
