Psalms 69
1 For the music director. To the tune “Lilies.” A psalm of David. God, please save me, because the water is up to my neck!
Aw Khawsa, ni hul lah, tui ing ka hawng dy pha law hawh hy.
2 I'm sinking deeper into the mud—there's no solid ground for me to stand. I find myself in deep water; floods wash over me.
Khaw lehnaak coet amak awm dizui ak khuina tla hawh nyng. Tuidung na nung tla nyng saw; tui ing ni zawl malh hawh hy.
3 I'm so tired of screaming out for help my throat is totally raw. My eyes are worn out looking for my God to help me.
Bawmnaak thoeh doena kak khy aih awh; kak awiqawng koh hawh hy. Khawsa ka toeknaak awh kamik awm am dang voel hawh hy.
4 Those who hate me for no reason are more than the number of hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me by telling lies. How can I give back what I didn't steal?
Kaw am maiawh, kai anik sawhnaak thlangkhqi ve ka lu awhkaw lusam anglakawh doem khqoet uhy; amak awm qoe ikaw am maiawh kai hqe aham anik sui ka qaalkhqi kqeng soeih hy.
5 God, you know how foolish I am! My sins are not hidden from you.
Aw Khawsa, ka qawnaak ve nang ing sim hyk ti, ka sai thawlhnaak ve na hai awhkawng thuh thai na am awm hy.
6 Don't let those who trust you be ashamed because of me, Lord God Almighty. Don't let those who follow you be disgraced because of me, God of Israel.
Aw Bawipa, Boeimang Bawipa, nang awh ngaih-unaak ak ta thlangkhqi ce kai awh kawboetnaak koeh ta u seh; Aw Israelkhqi a Khawsa, nang anik suikhqi ce kai awh chahqai koeh hu u seh.
7 For your sake I put up with the insults; my face shows my embarrassment.
Ikawtih, nang awh ce kqawn setnaak kung na nawh chahnaak ing ka haai ni dah khoep hy.
8 I have become a foreigner to my brother Israelites; a stranger to my very own brothers.
Ka koeinakhqi venawh khin na awm nyng saw, ka nucakhqi venawh thlak ha na awm nyng;
9 My devotion for your house is burning me up inside; the insults of those who insulted you have fallen on me.
Na im awh kak tha thawhnaak ing ni ai zip nawh, nang anik kqawnsetkhqi ak kqawn setnaak ce kak khan awh tla hy.
10 I wept and I fasted, but they mocked me;
Buh zeih ing kqang doena kak cykcah awhtaw, kqawn setnaak ce yh thai bit kawng nyng;
11 I mourned in sackcloth, but they laughed at me.
Dip che kang byng awh ce, thlangkhqi ing lym hangnaak na ni sai uhy.
12 People sitting by the town gate gossip about me. I'm the subject of rude songs sung by drunks.
Vawng chawmkeng awhkaw ak ngawikhqi ing ni qaih na unawh, zuk quikhqi a qenglung taila na awm kqoeng nyng.
13 But my prayer is to you, Lord, believing this is a good time to respond to me. God, in your wonderful trustworthy love, answer me with your sure salvation.
Nang nak kaw a zeel tym awh, Aw Bawipa, na venawh cykcah law nyng; Aw Khawsa, cawh ce na lungnaak awh, na hulnaak tak ing nim hlat lah.
14 Please rescue me from the mud—don't let me sink! Save me from those who hate me and from drowning in the deep waters!
Nawng khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw, koeh ning cum sak; kai anik sawhnaakkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw tui dung khui awhkawng ni thaawng lah.
15 Don't let the flood waters wash over me. Don't let the deep waters pull me down. Don't let the grave close over me.
Tui doem ing koeh ni sing seitaw tui dung ingawm koeh nik daih seh. Lawk-kqawng ingawm am kha koeh ni khyp sih seh.
16 Please answer my prayers, Lord, for you are good and love me with your trustworthy love; because of your kindness, please help me.
Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak leeknaak ing nim hlat lah; nam qeennaak bau soeih ak caming kai benna hawi qu law cang lah.
17 Don't turn away from me, your servant. Please answer me quickly because I'm in trouble.
Na tyihzawih a ven awhkawng na haai ce koeh thuh nawhtaw; kyinaak hu vik hawh nyng, nang ing ang tawnna nim hlat lah.
18 Come here and rescue me; set me free from my enemies.
Ka venawh zoe law nawh ni hul lah; ka qaalkhqi awhkawng nang ing ni thaawng lah.
19 You—you know my shame, my disgrace, my humiliation. You see everything my enemies are doing.
Kawamyihna nik kqawn seet unawh, kaw boetnaak ingkaw chahqai na ni ta uhy tice nang ing sim hyk ti; ka qaalkhqi boeih ve na haiawh ni ami awm.
20 Insults have broken my heart—I am so sick there is no cure. I looked for some sympathy, but there was no one! Nobody showed me any compassion.
kqawn setnaak ing kak kawlung kqek sak unawh hulkung ak taal na ni ta hyt uhy; hlang qeenkhaw ak ngai sui moe nyng, u awm am hu nyng saw, ak hloepkung sui moe nyng, u awm am awm hy.
21 Instead they gave me bitter herbs to eat and vinegar to drink.
Ka buh awh a hyt kha ni taak law pe unawh ka tui ngaih a sitnaak na misur tui ak thui ni pe uhy.
22 May the table set before them become a trap for them, a net that catches them, bringing punishment.
A mingmih a haiawh caboei dawn peek na ak awm ce thang na dun pe u sei taw; Khawboe set phu zawk naak ing pel na phawk pe u seh.
23 May their eyes become blind so they cannot see, and may their backs always be bent low in dejection.
Ami mikkhqi a mang dangnaak aham hyp pesak khqi seitaw, amim tingkhqi awm khun pek khqi loet seh nyng.
24 Pour out your judgment on them; chase them down in your fierce anger.
Cek khqik khan awh nak kawsonaak ce hawk pe lah; nak kawsonaak ak eih ing cekkhqi ce kee seh.
25 Let the places where they live be deserted. Let their homes be abandoned.
A mingmih a awmnaak ce pawng seitaw; cekkhqi a im awhkaw a u awm koeh awm voel seh.
26 For they persecute those you have punished, and make it even more painful for those you have disciplined.
Ikawtih, nang ing ngawha na ai sak thlangkhqi ce the a kha na unawh nang ing tlawh na peek thlangkhqi kawng ce kqawn uhy.
27 Punish them for the evil they have done. Don't acquit them.
A sai thawlhnaak ce sai thawlhnaak ing sap pe lah; nang a hulnaak ce koeh huh sak.
28 Blot out their names from the Book of Life. Don't let them be listed with those who do right.
Hqingnaak cauk awhkawng cekkhqi ce caih sak bang nawh thlakdyngkhqi mi koeh noet sih haih.
29 But I am suffering and in physical pain. God, please save me and keep me safe.
Thawlhnaak ing khuikha hawh nyng; Aw Khawsa, na hulnaak ing nik chung seh nyng.
30 I will praise God's character in song; I will say how incredible he is and how thankful I am.
Laa ing Khawsa ang ming ce kyihcah nyng saw zeelnaak awi kqawnnaak ing zoeksang kawng nyng.
31 The Lord is happier with this than with offering animals as sacrifices: cattle, or bulls with horns and hooves.
Vaitawm cai anglakawh Bawipa zeel sak khqoet kawmsaw, ki ingkaw khawme ak ta vaitawm cai anglakawh Bawipa zeel sak khqoet kaw.
32 The humble will see this and be happy. May God encourage everyone who comes to him.
Khawdengkhqi ing hu kawm usaw zeel kawm uh. Nangmih Khawsa ak suikhqi, namik kawlung hqing seh!
33 God hears the poor, and he does not ignore his people who are in prison.
Bawipa ing ak voethlauh thlangkhqik awi ce zaak pek khqi nawh tamnaa na ak awm thlangkhqi awm am hep hy.
34 Praise him heaven and earth, the seas and everything that lives in them!
Khan ingkaw dek ing amah kyihcah seitaw, tuicunli ingkaw ak khui awhkaw ak cawlhtat khqi boeih ingawm,
35 For God will save Zion, and rebuild the cities of Judah. They will live there and own the land.
Ikawtih, Khawsa ing Zion ce hul kawmsaw Judah khawk baukhqi ce thawh tlaih kaw. Cawhtaw thlangkhqi ce ak khuiawh awm kawm usaw pang pahoei kawm uh;
36 The descendants of those who follow him will inherit the land, and those who love him will live there.
A tyihzawihkhqi a cadilkhqi ing pang kawm usaw, ang ming ak lungnaak thlangkhqi ce a khawk khuiawh awm hawh kawm uh.
