Psalms 69
1 For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are threatening my life.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui ni ka lahuen totouh na muem toe.
2 I am sunk in depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms me.
Ka dung e tangdong dawk ka bo teh, kangdue nahan awm hoeh. Tui kadung, tuicapa ni na ramuknae koe ka pha.
3 I am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for God.
Ka hram lawi ka tâwn toe. Ka dangka a ke toe. Ka Cathut ngaihawi laihoi ka mit a tâwn toe.
4 More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
A khuekhaw awm laipalah na kahmuhmanaw teh, ka sam hlak apap awh. Ayawmyin lah na taran awh teh, raphoe hanlah kakâcainaw teh, a thao awh. Banghai ka parawt hoeh ei, boutbout pathoe hanelah ao.
5 O God, you know my folly, my guilt is not hidden from you.
Oe Cathut, ka pathunae heh ka panue. Ka yonnae heh ka hrawk hoeh.
6 Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O God of Israel.
Oe Jehovah, ransahu Cathut, na karingkungnaw teh kai kecu dawk kayak awh nahanh seh. Oe Isarel Cathut, nang katawngkung hah kai kecu dawk a lungpout awh nahanh seh.
7 It’s in your cause that I have borne taunts, and my face has been covered with shame;
Nang kecu dawk pathoenae ka kâhmo teh, kayanae ni ka minhmai a ramuk.
8 I became to my kindred a foreigner, to my mother’s sons a stranger.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk imyin lah ka o teh, manu buet touh ni na khe e thung dawk patenghai ramlouk e tami lah ka o.
9 It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon me.
Na im hanlah pouknae ni na ca teh, na kapathoenaw e lawk teh kai dawk a pha.
10 When I chastened myself with fasting, they took occasion to taunt me.
Rawcahai hoi ratoum hringnae dawk doeh na pathoe awh.
11 When I put on a garment of sackcloth, they made me the theme of a taunt-song.
Buri ka khohna toteh, na panuikhai awh.
12 Those who sit in the gate make sport of me in the music of drunken songs.
Longkha koe katahungnaw ni ka kong a dei awh teh, yamuhrinaw ni la lah na sak awh.
13 But I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favour. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me
Hatei, kai hanelah teh ka ratoumnae heh nang koe doeh. Oe BAWIPA, ngai kaawm e tueng dawk Oe Cathut, na lungmanae apap e patetlah, na rungngangnae lawkkatang hoi ka lawk heh na thai pouh haw.
14 from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep deep waters,
Kai hah tangdong dawk hoi na rasat haw, na bawt sak hanh. Na kahmuhmanaw kut dawk hoi thoseh, tui kadung thung hoi thoseh, na hlout sak haw.
15 that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon me.
Tui kalen ni na muem teh, tui kadung ni na payawp hanh naseh. Tangkom kadung ni na pakhum hanh naseh.
16 Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.
Oe BAWIPA na thai pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungpatawnae teh ahawi. Lungmanae kapap hoi kai koe lah kamlang haw.
17 Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; O answer me speedily.
Na san koehoi na minhmai hrawk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae koe ka pha toe. Karang poung lah na thai pouh haw.
18 Draw near to me, redeem me; because of my enemies, ransom me.
Ka hringnae koe hnai nateh, na ratang haw. Ka tarannaw ao dawkvah, na rungngang haw.
19 You know how I am insulted; in your sight are all my foes.
Kayanae, yeiraiponae hoi na barihoehnae teh na panue. Ka taran pueng teh na hmalah koung ao.
20 Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none.
Pathoenae ni ka lung a pout sak teh a lungpuen sak. Na kapahrenkung ka tawng teh buet touh hai ka hmawt hoeh. Lungpahawikung ka tawng teh buet touh hai ka hmawt hoeh.
21 Poison they gave me for food, and to slake my thirst they gave vinegar.
Ka rawca lah kakhat e na poe awh teh, tui kahran toteh misurtui kathut e hah na poe awh.
22 May their table, outspread, be a trap to them, and their peace-offerings be a snare.
Ahnimae caboi teh amamouh hanelah karap lah thoseh, tangkhek lah thoseh, a kang hanelah thoseh, coung awh naseh.
23 May their eyes be darkened and blind, make them shake without ceasing.
A hmu thai awh hoeh nahanlah a mitmawm naseh. A laheibaw thouk pâyaw naseh.
24 Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
Na lungkhueknae hah ahnimouh lathueng awi nateh, na lungphuennae ni rekpatawt naseh.
25 May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
Ahnimouh khosaknae hmuen teh kingkadi lah awm naseh, ahnimae im dawk apihai awm hanh naseh.
26 For those whom you struck, they persecute, and those whom you wounded, they pain yet more.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na rek e hah a rektap awh teh, hmâ na ca sak e naw hah, rek a panai awh.
27 Charge them with sin upon sin, may they not be acquitted by you.
ahnimae yon dawk yon rek poe nateh, na lannae dawk kâen hanh naseh.
28 From the book of life be they blotted, may their names not be written with the righteous.
Hringnae cauk dawk hoi raphoe lah awm awh naseh. Tamikalannaw hoi rei thut lah awm hanh naseh.
29 Lift me, O God, by your help above my pain and misery.
Hateiteh kai teh mathoe hoi lung ka mathout e lah ka o. Oe Cathut, na rungngangnae ni a rasangnae koe na tat naseh.
30 Then will I praise God in song and magnify him with thanksgiving,
Cathut min teh la hoi ka pholen han. Lunghawilawkdeinae hoi ama teh ka tawm han.
31 which shall please the Lord better than ox, or than bullock with horns and hoofs.
BAWIPA ni ki hoi khoksamen hoi kaawm e maitotan a ngai e hlak, hote hringnuen hah a ngaihnawn.
32 The oppressed shall rejoice at the sight. You who seek after God, let your heart revive.
Ka kârahnoumnaw ni hetheh a hmu awh vaiteh, a lunghawi awh han. Nangmouh Cathut katawngnaw e lung teh thaonae hoi akawi han.
33 For the Lord listens to the poor, he does not despise his prisoners.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mathoenaw e lawk hah a thai pouh teh, thongim ka bawt e amae taminaw hah pacekpahlek hoeh.
34 Let the heavens and the earth sing his praises, the seas, and all creatures that move in them.
Talai hoi kalvan ni ama teh a pholen teh, talîpui hoi a thung kaawm e pueng ni, ama teh, pholen naseh.
35 For God will bring help to Zion, and build up the cities of Judah, his people shall live there in possession.
Cathut ni Zion a rungngang teh, Judah kho hah a kangdue sak teh, Ahnimouh ni ao awh teh a pang awh.
36 His servants’ children shall have it for heritage, and those who love him shall live therein.
A san catounnaw ni hai pang awh vaiteh, a min ka lungpataw e teh athung vah kho a sak awh han.
