Psalms 109
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O God of my praise, do not be silent,
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Ka pakoeh ih, Aw Sithaw, angam duem hmah;
2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, They have opened against me, They have spoken with me—A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
kasae kaminawk hoi aling thaih kaminawk mah kai han pakha ang angh o thuih, nihcae loe kai khaeah amsawnlok thuih o.
3 They have surrounded me about, And they fight me without cause.
Hnukmahaih loknawk hoiah kai ang takui o; takung om ai ah kai ang tuk o.
4 For my love they oppose me, and I—prayer!
Kai ih amlunghaih to misa ah a poek o lat; toe kai loe lawkthuihaih hoiah ni ka oh.
5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
Nihcae mah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o moe, kai ih amlunghaih to a hnukma o.
6 Appoint the wicked over him, And an adversary stands at his right hand.
To baktih kami nuiah kasae kami to suem pae ah, Setan loe a bantang bangah angdoe pae nasoe.
7 In his being judged, he goes forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
Anih loe lokcaek naah sung nasoe loe, lawk a thuihaih to zaehaih ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
8 His days are few, another takes his oversight,
A hinghaih aninawk tamsi pae nasoe loe, minawk kalah mah anih angdoethaih ahmuen to la pae ving nasoe.
9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Anih ih caanawk loe ampa tawn ai ah om o nasoe loe, a zu loe lamhmai ah om nasoe.
10 And his sons wander continually, Indeed, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
A caanawk loe ahmuen kruekah amhet hoiah ban patueng o nasoe; kamro a oh o haih im hoiah tacawt o nasoe loe, caaknaek to pakrong o nasoe.
11 An exactor lays a snare for all that he has, And strangers spoil his labor.
A tawnh ih hmuennawk to hmuenmae coi han paek kami mah la pae boih nasoe; a toksakhaih atho doeh minawk kalah mah lomh pae ving nasoe.
12 He has none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favor to his orphans.
Mi mah doeh anih nuiah tahmenhaih tawn hmah nasoe; ampa tawn ai nawktanawk doeh tahmen o hmah nasoe.
13 His posterity is for cutting off, Their name is blotted out in another generation.
Anih ih caanawk loe anghma angtaa o nasoe; angzo han koi adungah doeh nihcae ih ahmin to phrae o boih nasoe.
14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered to YHWH, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
Ampanawk sakpazaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng poe nasoe; amno zaehaih to anghma pae hmah nasoe.
15 They are continually before YHWH, And He cuts off their memorial from earth.
Nihcae panoekhaih long hoiah tahmat pae ving hanah, nihcae zaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah om poe nasoe.
16 Because that he has not remembered to do kindness, And pursues the poor man and needy, And the struck of heart—to slay,
Anih loe palungnathaih amtuengsak hanah poek ai, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, palungboeng kaminawk doeh a hum.
17 And he loves reviling, and it meets him, And he has not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
Anih loe tangoenghaih to palung pongah, tangoenghaih to anih nuiah krah nasoe; tahamhoihaih koeh ai pongah, tahamhoihaih loe anih khae hoi kangthla ah om nasoe.
18 And he puts on reviling as his robe, And it comes in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
Anih mah loksae to kahni baktiah angkhuk pongah, a zok thungah tui baktih, ahuhnawk thungah situi baktiah akun pae nasoe.
19 It is to him as apparel—he covers himself, And he girds it on for a continual girdle.
Angmah angkhuk ih kahni baktih, kaengah angzaeng poe ih kazii baktiah, a nuiah om pae nasoe.
20 This [is] the wage of my accusers from YHWH, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
Kai kasaethui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah hae hae tangqum ah paek nasoe.
21 And You, O Lord YHWH, Deal with me for Your Name’s sake, Because Your kindness [is] good, deliver me.
Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na sah paeh; na palungnathaih loe hoih pongah, na pahlong ah.
22 For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart has been pierced in my midst.
Kai loe kam tang, ka tak thung ih palung loe ahma caak boeh.
23 I have gone as a shadow when it is stretched out, I have been driven away as a locust.
Kai loe duembang ih tahlip baktiah ka zaem tathuk boeh; pakhuh baktiah ahnuk ahma kang thuih.
24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh has failed of fatness.
Buhzah pongah ka khokkhunawk hae cak ai boeh; ka taksa doeh zaek keng boeh.
25 And I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
Minawk kasaethuih han ih ni ka oh boeh moe, nihcae mah kai ang khet o naah lu ang haek o thuih.
26 Help me, O YHWH my God, Save me, according to Your kindness.
Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na bom ah; na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah,
27 And they know that this [is] Your hand, You, O YHWH, You have done it.
hae loe na ban ni; Angraeng, nang mah ni na sak, tiah panoek o nasoe.
28 They revile, and You bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Your servant rejoices.
Nihcae loe tangoeng o, toe nang loe tahamhoihaih paek ah; nihcae angthawk o naah, azat o nasoe; toe na tamna loe anghoe nasoe.
29 My accusers put on blushing, and are covered, Their shame [is] as an upper robe.
Ka misanawk loe azathaih to kahni baktiah angkhuk o nasoe, kahni hoi khuk ih baktiah, mikhmai sethaih to angkhuk o nasoe.
30 I thank YHWH greatly with my mouth, And I praise Him in the midst of many,
Ka pakha hoiah Angraeng to ka pakoeh parai boeh; ue, pop parai salakah anih to ka pakoeh han.
31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
Zaehaih net kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk ih hinghaih pahlong hanah, anih loe amtang kaminawk ih bantang bangah angdoet.
