Psalms 141
1 “A psalm of David.” O Lord, I call thee, hasten unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
O Yahweh Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!
2 May my prayer be valued as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands, as the evening offering.
Kataona hi nahenga gimnamtwi kilhut bang'in chule kakhut teni kadopsang hi nilhah lang kilhaina gantha bang'in neisanpeh tan.
3 Set, O Lord, a watch unto my mouth: keep a guard at the door of my lips.
O Yahweh Pakai, kakam'a hin kamdal neikoipeh'in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.
4 Permit not my heart to incline after any evil thing, to practise deeds in wickedness with men that are doers of wrong: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Thilse bolna din kalungthim aselam-a kon'in neihoidah sah in, thil dihlou bolna'a neipansah hih'in. Thildihlou bol hon aphat chompiu thangset umtah thil hoa chan nei neisah hih'in.
5 If the righteous strike me, it is a kindness; and if he reprove me, it is [as] oil poured on the head, my head shall not refuse it; for yet my prayer also [is offered] in their sufferings.
Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.
6 Are their judges fallen down through means of a rock: then will they listen to my words; for they are pleasant.
Alamkaiteu kol'a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.
7 As when one cutteth in and splitteth open the earth: so are our bones scattered for the mouth of the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Songpi akikhet keh teng tol'a akitakeh bang in, miphalou ho gule chang ho jong vui louva kithe jal ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
8 For unto thee, O Eternal Lord, are my eyes directed; in thee do I trust: pour not out my life.
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina neitosah hih in.
9 Guard me from the power of the snare which they have laid for me, and the traps of the wrong-doers.
Kei ona dinga thang akam-uva kon in neihuhdoh in, thilpha lou jenga chon ho thangkol'a nei o-sah hih in.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, altogether—while I pass safely by.
Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah'in.
