Psalms 140
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit ni tumkhawngkung hanelah a sak e la Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na hlout sak haw. Ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw.
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
Ahnimouh teh a lungthung vah hawihoehnae hah a pouk awh teh, kâtuknae ao nahanelah, hnintangkuem cungtalah a pouk awh.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Ahnimouh teh amamae lai hah tahrun e lai patetlah, a hran sak awh. Ahnimae pahni thung vah hrunthoe sue ao. (Selah)
4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na ring haw. Ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Ahnimouh ni ka tâlaw nahanelah kho a khang awh.
5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Ka kâoupnaw ni kai hanelah arulahoi tangkam a patûng awh. Lamthung dawk tamlawk a yangda awh teh, kai hanelah karap a patûng awh. (Selah)
6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
Nang teh kaie Cathut lah na o tie hah Jehovah koe ka dei. Oe BAWIPA, kai ni ka kâhei e hah na thai pouh haw.
7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
Oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh kaie rungngangnae tha lah na o. Tarankâtuk hnin vah, nang ni kaie ka lû teh na ramuk pouh.
8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
Oe BAWIPA, tamikathoutnaw e ngainae teh kuep pouh hoeh. Hawihoehnae sak hanelah noenae teh kuep sak pouh hoeh. Hoehpawiteh, kârasang awh langvaih.
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
Hot patet e taminaw teh, kaie ka tengpam vah, amamae lû loungouk awh laipalah, amamouh ni a dei awh e hawihoehnae ni amamanaw teh ramuk naseh.
10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
Hmaisaannaw teh amamae van bawt naseh. Ahnimouh teh hmai dawk thoseh, tangkawm thung thoseh, tâkhawng e lah awm awh naseh, bout thaw awh hanh lawiseh.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
Thoenae ka dei e naw teh, talai van cak awh hanh naseh, ka mathoutmakai e taminaw koe runae ni pâlei awh naseh.
12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
BAWIPA ni runae kâhmonaw hah a khetyawt teh, kavoutthoupnaw koelah kalan lah lawk a ceng han tie ka panue.
13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
Atangcalah, tami kalannaw ni na min a pholen awh han. A lungthin kalannaw ni hai na hmalah ao awh han.
