Psalms 35
1 BY DAVID. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Aw Bawipa, kai anik eek thlangkhqi ce nang ing mele sih nawhtaw; kai anik tukkhqi ce nang ing tuk lah.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Phura ingkaw kqang dahnaak ce lo lah; tho nawh kai bawm aham law lah.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, “I [am] your salvation.”
Kai anik hquutkhqi haiawh cai thlek pek khqi nawh mam khqi khoep lah, Ka hqingnaak venawh, “Kai taw nang a hulnaak ni,” tina lah.
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak suikhqi ce amik kaw boet seitaw chah phyi u seh; kai plawci sak aham amik za qukhqi ce kqih doe ing huna voei tlaih u seh.
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
Zilh ing a zawn canghi amyihna awm u seitaw, Bawipa a khan ceityih khqi ing cekkhqi ce ak chang na hquut u seh;
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer.
A cehnaak lam ce hyp pe seitaw hal pe seh, Bawipa ak khan ceityihkhqi ing cekkhqi ce hquut seh.
7 For without cause they hid their net [in] a pit for me, Without cause they dug for my soul.
Ikaw am mai awh kang awhnaak aham lawk zan unawh kai aham lawk-kqawng co law uhy,
8 Desolation meets him—he does not know, And his net that he hid catches him, He falls into it for desolation.
poek kaana cekkhqik khan awh seetnaak ing pha tawk qat seh a mimah ing ami zan lawk awh a mimah awk nawn u seh, a seetnaak aham a mimah a lawk-kqawng awh tla nawn u seh.
9 And my soul is joyful in YHWH, It rejoices in His salvation.
Cawh Bawipa awh ka hqingnaak zeel kawmsaw a hulnaak awh ce kak kaw zeel kaw.
10 All my bones say, “YHWH, who is like You, Delivering the poor from the [one] stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.”
Cawh kang coengnaak boeih boeih ing, “Bawipa, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai? Tha ak awm soeihkhqi anglakawhkawng khawdengkhqi ce nang ing hul hyk ti, a mingmih ak mukkung a kut khui awhkawng khawdengkhqi ingkaw thlang ak voethlauhkhqi ce hul hyk ti,” tinawh kqawn kaw.
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Qeennaak amak ta dyihthing qawlkhqi haina thoeih unawh; am ka sim ik-oeihkhqi ing ni deng uhy.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Ik-oeih leek ce ik-oeih che ing ni thung unawh ka hqingnaak ve a sungnaak aham cehta uhy.
13 And I—in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled my soul with fastings, And my prayer returns to my bosom.
Cehlai, cekkhqi ami tlawh awhtaw, kai ingtaw tlamhi byng nawh buh zehnaak ing chung na awm nyng. Kak cykcahnaak hlat na ama awm awh ce,
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I habitually walked, As a mourner for a mother, I have bowed down mourning.
ka pyi ingkaw ka koeina amih koep na kqah sih nyng. Ka nu ak thi amyihna kawseet aih awh koep nawh kqap nyng.
15 And they have rejoiced in my halting, And have been gathered together, The strikers were gathered against me, And I have not known, They have torn, and they have not ceased;
Cehlai kangbah awhtaw, cekkhqi ce zeel unawh cun uhy, am ka simkhqi ing ni sawi loet uhy.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing their teeth against me.
Khawsa kawna amak hu thlang qaihna amik kqawn amyihna, ami ha ni tah sih uhy.
17 Lord, how long do You behold? Keep my soul back from their desolations, My only one from young lions.
Aw Bawipa, ityk dy nu nani toek hly hqoeng? Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak caikhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, a phuk tlo soeih ka hqingnaak ve samthyynkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
18 I thank You in a great assembly, I praise You among a mighty people.
Thlangkqeng ang cunnaak awh nang ce ni ym kawng nyng saw; thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh nang ce ni zoeksang kawng.
19 Do not let my enemies rejoice over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Kaw am mai awh ka qaalkhqi ing kawqep doena koeh ni toek u seh; ikaw am mai awh kai anik sawhnaakkhqi ing mik koeh ni hqip sih u seh.
20 For they do not speak peace, And against the quiet of the land, They devise deceitful words,
Cekkhqi ing qoepnaak awi kqawn kaana, qam khuiawh a ding a syk na ak awmkhqi ce thainaak aham qaai puk uhy.
21 And they enlarge their mouth against me, They said, “Aha, aha, our eye has seen.”
Ni aang sih unawh, “A ha! A ha! Ni mik qoe ing ni hu hawh saw ve,” ni tina uhy.
22 You have seen, O YHWH, Do not be silent, O Lord—do not be far from me,
Bawipa vekkhqi ve na huh hawh dawngawh; koeh ni awm taak poek poek lah. Bawipa ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak lah.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Kai hul aham hqyng nawhtaw, dyi lah! Ka Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa, kang zyng na cekkhqi mi noek qu lah uh.
24 Judge me according to Your righteousness, O YHWH my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, na dyngnaak ak caming awi tlyk law lah; cekkhqi mi koeh ni kqep sih seh.
25 They do not say in their heart, “Aha, our desire.” They do not say, “We swallowed him up.”
Cekkhqi ce, ce pai seh, vemyihna maw ni ngaih qoe pai,” ce am awhtaw, “Amah taw nik daih koe noek,” tinawh koeh poek sak.
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Kak kawseetnaak awh kaw anik qep sihkhqi ce chah phyi u seitaw ngaih kyinaak hu u seh; kak khan awh ak zoeksang qu plakkhqi ce chahnaak ingkaw ngaih kyinaak ing sing khoep seh nyng.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they continually say, “YHWH is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.”
Ka dyngnaak awh ak zeel thlangkhqi taw awmhly doena khy useh; cekkhqi ing, “A tyihzawih a ik-oeih leek ak ym, Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh,” ti phat u seh nyng.
28 And my tongue utters Your righteousness, All the day Your praise!
Kam lai ing nang a dyngnaak awi kqawn kawmsaw hypoet pyr awh na kyihcahnaak awi kqawn kaw.
