Psalms 31
1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; Oh that I may never be put to shame: through thy righteousness do thou release me.
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk hy, chah koeh ni phyih sak; na dyngnaak awh ce ni hul lah.
2 Bend unto me thy ear; speedily deliver me: be thou unto me as a rock of protection, as a mountain strong-hold to save me.
Nang haa keng law nawhtaw, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah; kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh, ka hulkung vawngcak na awm lah.
3 For my rock and my stronghold art thou; and for the sake of thy name lead me, and guide me.
Nang taw kang thuknaak ingkaw ka vawngnu na, na awm a dawngawh nang ming ak caming ni ceh pyi nawhtaw ni hqui lah.
4 Draw me out of the net which they have laid secretly for me; for thou art my protection.
Ka haiawh a dun qu thang awhkawng ni loet sak lah, nang taw kang thuknaak kung na na awm a dawngawh.
5 Into thy hand do I commit my spirit: thou redeemest me, O Lord, the God of truth.
Na kut awh kang myihla ni pe nyng; Aw Bawipa awitak Khawsa ni hul lah.
6 I hate those that depend on lying vanities; but I trust indeed in the Lord.
Kawna amak awm myiqawl ak bawkkhqi ce sawh na nyng saw; Bawipa ce ypna nyng.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy kindness; because thou hast seen my misery; thou hast taken cognizance of the distresses of my soul;
Na lungnaak awh ce zeelmang ing awm vang, kawtih nang ing ka kyinaak ce hu law tiksaw kang myihla ing a khuikhanaak ce sim hyk ti.
8 And thou hast not surrendered me into the hand of the enemy: thou hast caused my feet to stand on an ample space.
Ka qaal a venawh amni pe nawh ka khaw qawi ve hun nepnaak awh ning dyih sak hyk ti.
9 Be gracious unto me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is consumed through vexation—my soul [too] and my body.
Aw Bawipa ngaihang kawbin na ka awm a dawngawh, kai ve nim qeen lah; kak kawseet aih awh mik awm am dai hqa voel nyng; kang myihla ingkaw ka pum awm kawseet lungnat zawk hy.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing, my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Ka hqingnaak ve kawsetnaak ing daih nawh ka kumkhqi awm ko ang kqangnaak ing khaw kum boeih hy; ka khuikha aih awh kak tha awm boet hqoeng nawh, ka quh awm ak tha am awm voel hy.
11 Because of all my assailants am I become a reproach, and unto my neighbors greatly so, and a terror to my acquaintance, those that see me abroad flee away from me.
Ka qaalkhqi dawngawh, ka pilnamkhqi ing ni hep unawh; ka pyikhqi ing nik kqih uhy - lam awh kai anik hukhqi ing ni centaak boeih uhy.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of the heart: I am become like a perishable vessel.
Ak thi hawh amyihna cekkhqi ing nim hilh boeih uhy; dek-am ak kqek zak amyihna ni ka awm hqoeng hawh.
13 For I have heard the slandering of many; terror was on every side, while they took counsel together against me: to take away my life did they purpose.
Thlang khawzah ing a mini tengnaak awi doeng za nyng; voei a vang awh kqihnaak hqoeng na awm hy; kai ing am ka ngaihnaak ben awh ce za qu unawh ka hqingnaak him aham cai uhy.
14 But I trusted well in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
Cehlai, Bawipa nang ni ka ni ypnaak; “nang taw ka Khawsa ni” ti nyng.
15 In thy hand are my destinies: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from my persecutors.
Ka tymkhqi ve nang a kut khuiawh ni a awm; ka qaalkhqi ingkaw kai anik hqutkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
16 Let thy face shine upon thy servant: save me through thy kindness.
Na tyihzawih ak khan awh na haai hlangpan sak nawh; amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing ni hul lah.
17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame; for I have called on thee: let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent, [passing] to the nether world. (Sheol h7585)
Aw Bawipa, chah koeh ni phyih sak, nang a venawh ni kak khy law; cehlai thlak chekhqi taw chah phyih sak nawh phyi khuiawh awimyh na zaih sak khing lah. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be made dumb, which speak hard things against the righteous, with pride and contempt.
Cekkhqi ing qaai awi amik kqawnnaak hui ce sit sak lah, oek qunaak ingkaw hepnaak ing thlakdyngkhqi ce amik kaa naak a dawngawh.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast treasured up for those that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for those that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Nang anik kqihkhqi aham cun pe nawh, thlanghqingkhqi haiawh nang awh ak thukkhqi aham na taak zoseennaak taw bau soeih hy.
20 Thou wilt conceal them in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracy of men: thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Ang hyp na ak tengkungkhqi ven awhkawng na haai awhkaw awmnaak hun awh ak mawng na ta hyk ti.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shown me his kindness wonderfully in a beleaguered city.
Khawk bau cak awh ka awm awh kawpoek kyi qeennaak ce ang dang law sak a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng.
22 And yet had I said in my despondency, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou didst hear the voice of my supplications when I cried loudly unto thee.
Ka ly aih awh, “ning hawi taak valh hawh amih hyk ti!” ti nyng. Cehlai, qeennaak ka thoeh law awh ce qeennaak ing kak khynaak awi ce ngai law hyk ti.
23 Oh love the Lord, all ye his pious ones: the Lord preserveth the faithful, and recompenses the presumption of him that acteth proudly.
A thlakciimkhqi boeih aw, Bawipa ce lungna lah uh! Bawipa ing ypawm thlangkhqi ce hqui a sawi nawh ak oek qu thlangkhqi taw a khawboe amyihna thung pehy.
24 Be strong, and let your heart be of good courage, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Nangmih Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi boeih namik tha awm sak unawh na mim thin caksak lah uh.
