< Psalms 41 >

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How happy are those who take care of the poor! When they are in trouble the Lord will save them.
Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Yoethaenah hnin ah tattloel te aka cangbam tah a yoethen. Anih te BOEIPA loh a loeih sak.
2 The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. They will live happily in the land, and they will not be handed over to their enemies.
BOEIPA loh anih te a dawndah vetih a hlun ni. Khohmuen nen khaw uem la uem vetih, a thunkha kah hinglu la anih te tloeng mahpawh.
3 The Lord looks after them when they're sick; he makes them well from their illness.
BOEIPA loh kolet soengca dongkah te khaw a duel. A thingkong boeih te a tlohtat lamloh na palet bitni.
4 “Lord, please be gracious to me,” I asked. “Please heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
Kai loh, “BOEIPA, nang taengah ka tholh oeh tih, kai n'rhen lamtah ka hinglu he hoeih sak lah,” ka ti.
5 Those who hate me only say evil things about me. “When is he going to die, and people forget all about him?” they ask.
Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai he, “Me vaengah nim a duek vetih a ming a paltham ve,” tila a thae a thui.
6 They come to visit me, but their sympathy is not sincere. They're only interested in the bad news, which they spread around as soon as they leave.
Hmuh hamla aka pawk boeih tah a lungbuei khaw a poeyoek lam ni a cal. Amah ham boethae a coi tih, vongvoel la a pha neh a thui.
7 All who hate me talk in whispers about my condition, hoping for the worst.
Ka lunguet boeih loh kai he a thae la m'moeh uh dongah kai taengah tun sisuk uh.
8 “He's been cursed with some terrible disease,” they say. “Now he's bed-ridden he'll never recover!”
“Anih tah a olka aka muen loh a kap thil tih a yalh atah thoh hamla koei mahpawh.
9 Even my best friend, the one I trusted, who shared meals with me—even he has turned against me.
Ka ngaimongnah hlang te tah amah dongah ka pangtung dae, ka buh aka ca long ni kai taengah a khodil a taloeh.
10 But you Lord, please be gracious to me, make me well so I can repay them!
Tedae BOEIPA nang loh kai n'rhen lamtah amih khoboe te thuung ham kai n'thoh lah.
11 I know you are pleased with me because you have not let my enemies win and shout in triumph over me.
Ka thunkha rhoek te kai soah a yuhui pawt dongah kai taengah na naem te ka ming.
12 You have supported me because of my integrity, you have brought me into your presence forever.
Kai khaw kamah kah thincaknah neh kai nan duel tih kumhal namah hmai ah kai nan khueh.
13 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen and amen!
Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA tah kumhal lamkah kumhal due a yoethen pai. Amen neh Amen.
