< Psalms 140 >

1 DELIVER me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in, pumhat-a natong hoa kon'in neihoidohsah'in,
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
ajeh chu alung sung'uva thilse jeng agong un, beitih um louvin gal abol jiuvin ahi.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Alei gui-u gul in mi achuh bang in amang chauvin, athuseidoh jouseu jong gul-gu tobang ahi.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou ho khutna kon hin neihoidoh in, pumhatna natong hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in; ajeh chu kakipal lhuhna din thisle jeng agong un ahi.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)
Mi kiletsah hon kei matna din thang akam un, khao ajan-doh'un lampi dunga thang ei-kampeh'un ahi.
6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai kom'a, “Nangma hi ka Pathen Elohim nahi!” O Yahweh Pakai, khotona dinga kataona nei sanpeh tan.
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, athahat pan-a eihuhdoh pa; nangman gal kisat nikhoa nei huhdoh ahi.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Yahweh Pakai, migilouho adei bang'in chesah hih'in, athilse gonhou chu lolhin sahhih'in; achuti louva ahileh kiletsahna dim diu ahi.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Kagal miten kachunga thil phalou tohgon anei jal un, manthah nan lhung u-hen.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Meiam kong chu alu chunguvah chuhsah'in, meilah'a seplut in; ahilouleh ajamdoh louna diu twiveina kotong'ah lhalut jeng u-hen.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Ka gamsung uva hin ajou jouva mihehse ho khantousah hihbeh'in, pumhat'a natong ho achunguva thilse chuhsah'in lang sumang in.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
Hinlah suhgentheija umte Yahweh Pakai in asumil poi, ti kahen; Aman vaichate thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi, ti kahei.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Tahbeh'in mi kitah hon namin athangvah diu, chule michonpha ho na kom'a cheng diu ahi.
