< Psalms 55 >

1 Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw, nang koe kâhei navah na kâhrawk takhai hanh.
2 Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,
Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
3 At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw pawlawk hoi, tamikathoutnaw ni repcoungroenae kecu dawk, runae kai dawk a pha sak teh, lungkhuek laihoi na hmuhma awh.
4 My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
5 Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.
Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
6 And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
7 Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness.
Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
8 I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
Hete kahlî tûilî ka tho e hoi ka hlout nahanlah, karanglah ka yawng han toe telah ka pouk.
9 Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
Oe BAWIPA, ahnimae lawk hah a kahma nahanlah, koung kâkapek sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kho thung vah, thamanae hoi lawpnae ka hmu.
10 Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
Karum khodai pout laipalah, rapan dawk hoi a kâhêi awh teh, kho thung vah thoenae hoi runae lah ao awh,
11 And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.
Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
12 For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
Kai na ka pathoe e teh ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka pouk thai han ei. Na ka taran ni teh kai na ka hmuhma e hai ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ahni hah ka roun thai han ei.
13 But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,
Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
14 Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.
Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
15 Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
17 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.
Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
18 He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.
Kai taranlahoi na tuknae hmuen koehoi, ka hringnae heh karoumcalah a ratang toe. Kai koelah kaawm e teh apap awh.
19 God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
Ayan hoi kangning e Cathut ni a thai teh, ahnimouh hah a khang sak han. (Selah) Ahnimouh teh a kâthung awh hoeh dawkvah, Cathut taket awh hoeh.
20 He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,
Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
21 They are divided by the wrath Of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.
Apâhni hoi a dei awh e lawk teh, maito sanutui kamkak e hlak a pâhnan. Hatei, a lungthung tarankâtuknae ao. A lawk teh satui hlak a nem eiteh, rayu tangcoung e tahloi lah doeh ao.
22 Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
Na hnokari hah BAWIPA dawk patue haw, ama ni na hlai han. Tami kalan rawp hane pasoung hoeh.
23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, O Lord.
Oe Cathut, alouknaw teh rawknae tangkom dawk koung na pabo han. Tamikathetnaw hoi yuemkamcuhoeh e naw teh, a hringyung tangawn patenghai hring awh mahoeh. Kai teh nang doeh na kâuep han.
