Psalms 109
1 “To the chief musician, by David, a psalm.” O God of my praise, do not keep silence.
Kai ing kam kyih, Aw Khawsa, awi myhna koeh awm hqoeng,
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken with me with the tongue of falsehood.
kawtih thlakchekhqi ingkaw thlak thaikhqi ing amim kha ni ang sih khqi nawh; ami qaai ce kqawn uhy.
3 Also with words of hatred have they encompassed me, and they fight against me without a cause.
Sawhnaak awi ing nik chung khqi nawh, akawng a awm kaana ni tuk khqi hy.
4 In recompense for my love are they my accusers, while I have nothing but prayer.
Ka pyi na ka taaknaak ce thawlh puknaak na haw law na uhy, cehlai kai taw ak cykcah thlang na awm nyng.
5 And they impose evil on me in recompense for good, and hatred in lieu of my love.
A leek ce ak che ing thung law unawh, pyi na ka taaknaak cesawhnaak ing thung law uhy.
6 Appoint thou a wicked man over him: and let an accuser stand at his right hand.
Anih ak oelh aham thlakche ce taak pe tloep; thawlh a pukkung ce ak tang ben awh pha seh.
7 When he is to be judged, let him go forth guilty, and let his prayer become sin.
Awideng na a awm awh, dawk lo seitaw, ak cykcahnaak ing dawk sak seh.
8 Let his days be few, and let another take his office.
A hqinglu tawi pe seitaw; thlakchang ing hquikung dyih hun ce qawt pe tloep seh.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
A cakhqi cadah na awm u seitaw a zukhqi nuhai na awm u seh.
10 Let his children be continually moving about, and beg, and let them seek [their bread] out of their ruined places.
A cakhqi ing kut dun doena van u seitaw; a imqawk awhkawng hqek na awm u seh.
11 Let the creditor lay snares after all that he hath, and let strangers plunder his labor.
Ik-oeih a capung na ak pukhqi ing a khawhthemkhqi ce lawh pe boeih u seitaw; a bibinaak phu ce khinkhqi ing muk pe bang seh.
12 Let him have none that extendeth kindness, and let there be none that is gracious to his fatherless children.
U ingawm koeh qeen seitaw pa amak ta naasenkhqi awm koeh qeen u seh.
13 Let his posterity be cut off: in another generation let their name be blotted out.
A cadil naa ce law boet seitaw, ak law hly kawi chawn awhkaw ming khui awhkawng qeng u seh.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the Lord, and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.
Ami pakhqi thawlhnaak ce Bawipa hai awh sim loet na awm seitaw ami nu a thawlhnaak ce koeh qeng voel seh.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off from the earth their memory.
Cekkhqi sim loetnaak ce khawmdek awh a law boetnaak aham a mingmih a thawlhnaak ce Bawipa haiawh awm loet seh.
16 For the reason that he remembered not to show kindness; but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the grieved in heart to put him to death.
Ikawtih qeennaak tive poek awm ap poek qoe qoe hy, khawdeng ak voet hlauhkhqi ingkaw kawlung ak kqekkhqi ce him aham hqut hy.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come over him: and as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
Lihoei ce lungna hy – amah ak khan awh tla tloep seh; thlang a zoseennaak awh ak kaw am law hy – zoseennaak ce anih a venawh kawng ak hla na awm lawt seh.
18 And he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, and it cometh like water within him, and like oil into his bones.
Lihoei ce hi na bai nawh; a pum khuiawh tui amyihna kun pehy.
19 Let it be unto him as a garment in which he wrappeth himself, and for a girdle let him be continually girded with it.
Ce ing angki amyihna zawl khak seitaw cawi pinnaak amyihna kumqui dy pin seh.
20 Let this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, and of those that speak evil against my soul.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi ingkaw, kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi a venawh Bawipa ing ve ve thaphu na pe seh.
21 But thou, O Eternal Lord, deal with me for the sake of thy name: because thy kindness is good, deliver thou me.
Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Khawsa, nang ing nang ming ak caming ak leek na ni sai nawh; na lungnaak ak leek ak caming ni hul lah.
22 For poor and needy am I, and my heart is deeply wounded within me.
Khawdeng ingkaw voethlauh thlang na awm nyng saw, kak kawk khuiawh ak lingbyi ing ngawha ai hy.
23 Like the shadow when it declineth do I hasten away: I am driven suddenly off like the locusts.
Khawmy ben awhkaw khawngkawn amyihna nung thoeih hawh nyng saw; khamkhawk amyihna tlai let let nyng.
24 My knees stumble through fasting, and my flesh faileth of fatness.
Buh ka hyhnaak awh kam khawkhlu qawi am cak voel hy; kang sak boeih qep qep nawh a tankqat na awm hqoeng nyng.
25 And I am become a reproach unto them: when they see me, they shake their head.
Thawlh anik puk khqi ak kqawnseet aham awm kqoeng nyng saw; a mini huh awh ami lu hil uhy.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy kindness:
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni hul lah; na lungnaak ak caming ni hul cang lah.
27 That they may know that this is thy hand: that thou, Lord, hast truly done it.
Ve ve nang a kut ni tice sim sak nawh, Aw Bawipa, nang ing ni na sai tice sim sak lah.
28 Let them then curse, but do thou bless: when they arise, let them be made ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
Cekkhqi ing khawseet hly hlai uhy, nang ingtaw zoseen pe hyk ti; cekkhqi ing ami tuk awh chah phyi kawm uh, cehlai nang a tyihzawih taw zeel kaw.
29 Let my accusers be clothed with confusion, and let them wrap themselves, as with a mantle, in their own shame.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi taw ming seetnaak ce hi amyihna bai kawm u saw chahnaak ing angki amyihna zawl qu khoep kawm uh.
30 I will thank the Lord greatly with my mouth, and in the midst of many will I praise him.
Kam kha ing Bawipa ce khawzah na zoeksang kawng nyng saw; thlang kqeng khawzah anglakawh amah kyihcah kawng nyng.
31 For he ever standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
Ikawtih anik palh sak khqi a venawh kawng anih a hqingnaak ce hul peek aham anih taw ak voethlauhkhqi ak tang ben awh dyi hy.
