Psalms 59
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
Aw Khawsa, ka qaal kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak lah, kai anik qaalnaak thlangkhqi ven awhkawng nik chung lah.
2 Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
Ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak nawh thlang a thi tui na ak ngaihkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
3 See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
Kaw amyihna kai ami ni mah ce toek lah! Aw Bawipa, kaw thawlhnaak awm am ka sai mai awh, thlak tlungkhqi ing kai ni teng uhy.
4 Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
Ka sai thawlh ikaw awm am awm hlai hy, kai tuk aham oepchoeh na awm uhy. Kai hul aham tho lah; ka lynaak ve toek lah!
5 You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
Aw Bawipa Boeimang Khawsa, Israel Khawsa pilnam thlang boeih toel aham tho lah; Thlak chekhqi ce koeh qeen qoe qoe.
6 In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
Khawmy awh hlat law unawh, uikhqi amyihna thlang oh doena, khawk bau khuiawh thoek uhy.
7 See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
Am khak khui awhkawng a sa ce toek lah - ami hui awhkawng zawzi sa unawh, “U ing nik chah hly paqap?” ti uhy.
8 But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
Cehlai, Bawipa, nang ing cekkhqi ce qaih na lah; ce pilnam thlangkhqi ce qaih na hawh hyk ti.
9 You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
Aw kak tha awmnaak, nang ni ka ni qeh; Aw Khawsa, nang taw kai a vawngcak na awm tiksaw,
10 In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
Ka lungnaak Khawsa na awm hyk ti. Khawsa taw ka hai benawh cet kawmsaw kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi ce kawqepnaak ing ni toek sak kawp ti.
11 Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
Cehlai, kaimih a phuhqa na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, cekkhqi ce koeh him lah, kak thlangkhqi ing cekkhqi ce qoe sak khqi nawhtaw, zawk sak lah.
12 Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
Am kha awhkaw thawlhnaak, a huikhqi awhkaw awi awh, a mimah ang oek qunaak awh tu sak nawn lah. Ami seet lawhnaak ingkaw qaai amik kqawnnaak dawngawh,
13 Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
Nak kawsonaak ing cekkhqi ce milh sak nawhtaw, a mami awmnaak tlaih qoe dy awh milh sak phang tlang lah. Cawhtaw khawmdek a dytnaak dyna Khawsa ing Jacob uk hy tice sim kawm uh.
14 In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
Khawmy benawh hlat law unawh, uikhqi amyihna thlang oh doena, khawk bau khuiawh thoek uhy.
15 They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're not satisfied.
Buh sui unawh thoek uhy, amik phoen ama phyi awhtaw khy uhy.
16 But I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
Cehlai, kai ingtaw nak thaawmnaak ce laa na sa kawng nyng saw, mymcang awh na lungnaak ce laa na sa vang; kawtih nang taw ka vawngcak, kyinaak ka huh awh kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
17 You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
Aw kak thaawmnaak, nang kyihcah Khawsa, ka vawngnu na awm hyk ti.
