Psalms 140
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit ni tumkhawngkung hanelah a sak e la Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na hlout sak haw. Ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw.
2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.
Ahnimouh teh a lungthung vah hawihoehnae hah a pouk awh teh, kâtuknae ao nahanelah, hnintangkuem cungtalah a pouk awh.
3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)
Ahnimouh teh amamae lai hah tahrun e lai patetlah, a hran sak awh. Ahnimae pahni thung vah hrunthoe sue ao. (Selah)
4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.
Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na ring haw. Ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Ahnimouh ni ka tâlaw nahanelah kho a khang awh.
5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)
Ka kâoupnaw ni kai hanelah arulahoi tangkam a patûng awh. Lamthung dawk tamlawk a yangda awh teh, kai hanelah karap a patûng awh. (Selah)
6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.
Nang teh kaie Cathut lah na o tie hah Jehovah koe ka dei. Oe BAWIPA, kai ni ka kâhei e hah na thai pouh haw.
7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.
Oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh kaie rungngangnae tha lah na o. Tarankâtuk hnin vah, nang ni kaie ka lû teh na ramuk pouh.
8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)
Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e ngainae teh kuep pouh hoeh. Hawihoehnae sak hanelah noenae teh kuep sak pouh hoeh. Hoehpawiteh, kârasang awh langvaih.
9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.
Hot patet e taminaw teh, kaie ka tengpam vah, amamae lû loungouk awh laipalah, amamouh ni a dei awh e hawihoehnae ni amamanaw teh ramuk naseh.
10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.
Hmaisaannaw teh amamae van bawt naseh. Ahnimouh teh hmai dawk thoseh, tangkawm thung thoseh, tâkhawng e lah awm awh naseh, bout thaw awh hanh lawiseh.
11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.
Thoenae ka dei e naw teh, talai van cak awh hanh naseh, ka mathoutmakai e taminaw koe runae ni pâlei awh naseh.
12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.
BAWIPA ni runae kâhmonaw hah a khetyawt teh, kavoutthoupnaw koelah kalan lah lawk a ceng han tie ka panue.
13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.
Atangcalah, tami kalannaw ni na min a pholen awh han. A lungthin kalannaw ni hai na hmalah ao awh han.
