Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight thou against them that fight against me.
Oelhtaih vaengkah David kah Aw BOEIPA, kai aka nen ka lungawn te han nen lah.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Kai bomnah ham photling neh photlinglen te muk lamtah thoo lah.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Kai aka hloem rhoek te caai neh khoh lamtah sulbung neh ham mah lah. Ka hinglu taengah, “Kai tah nang kah khangnah ni,” ti nah saeh.
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to dishonour that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
Ka hinglu aka mae rhoek he yahpok saeh lamtah a hmaithae uh saeh. Kai a thae la aka moeh rhoek te a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh lamtah ngam uh saeh.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the LORD driving [them] on.
Khohli dong kah cangkik bangla om uh saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh hawk nawn saeh.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
Amih kah longpuei te hmaisuep neh longhnal la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh amih te hloem saeh.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.
A tloengtlaih van la kai ham lawk a tung uh tih ka hinglu ham vaam a too uh.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: with destruction let him fall therein.
Anih kah a ming mueh la khohli rhamrhael loh kae saeh lamtah lawk a tung te amah man saeh. Anih taengah khohli rhamrhael la tlak thil saeh.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Te vaengah ka hinglu loh BOEIPA ah omngaih vetih amah kah khangnah dongah ngaingaih ni.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
Ka rhuh ka rhong boeih loh, “Mangdaeng te amah lakah tlungluen kut lamkah, mangdaeng neh khodaeng te khaw anih aka rheth kut lamkah BOEIPA nang bangla aka huul te unim?,” ti uh saeh.
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
Kuthlahnah kah laipai rhoek te ha tlai uh tih kai loh ka ming mueh te n'dawt uh.
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereaving of my soul.
Ka hinglu kah polpainah ham a then yueng la boethae neh kai n'thuung uh.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Tedae kai tah amih te tloh a nue vaengah tlamhni ka pueinak nah. Ka hinglu he yaehnah neh ka phaep vaengah ka thangthuinah loh ka kodang la ha bal.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.
Pay a bangla ka manuca bangla ka ngai. A nu kah rhahdoe cangpoem bangla ka van tih kopang doela lu ka singling.
15 But when I halted they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
Tedae ka cungdonah te ko a khah uh tih tingtun uh. Hlanghaeng rhoek loh ka ming pawt vaengah ka taengah tingtun uh. Kai n'hliphen uh vaengah toeng uh pawh.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Lailak loh kai he buh bangla tamdaengtamkha neh a no n'tah thiluh.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
Aw Boeipa, mevaeng hil nim nan sawt sut ve? Ka hinglu he khohli rhamrhael lamloh, ka oingaih cangloeng te sathuengca kut lamloh han doek lah.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
Hlangping a yet taengah nang kan uem vetih pilnam rhaengpuei lakli ah nang kan thangthen ni.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
A hong mai khaw ka thunkha rhoek loh kai dongah n'kokhah uh tih a lunglilungla la kai aka hmuhuet loh a mik m'mikhip thil boel saeh.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
Rhoepnah a thui uh mueh la khohmuen he dingsuek tila thailatnah ol te a moeh uh.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Te dongah kai taengah a ka a ang uh tih, “Ahuei ahuei mamih mik loh a hmuh coeng,” a ti uh.
22 Thou hast seen it, O LORD; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
Na hmuh coeng BOEIPA. Na hilphah boeh. Kai taeng lamkah n'lakhla tak boeh ka Boeipa.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Kamah kah tuituknah dongah kai ka tiktamnah ham haenghang lamtah thoo laeh ka Pathen neh ka Boeipa.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Ka BOEIPA Pathen aw, na duengnah neh kai n'tang sak lamtah kai soah a kokhap uh boel saeh.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Amih lungbuei ah, “Ahuei, mamih hinglu soep coeng,” ti uh boel saehAnih.” n'dolh uh coeng, “ti uh boel saeh.
26 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
Kai kah yoethae soah ko aka hoe rhoek te rhenten yak uh saeh lamtah ngam uh saeh. Kai soah aka pomsang rhoe te yahpohnah neh mingthae loh khuk saeh.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, The LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Kai kah duengnah aka omtoem rhoek loh tamhoe uh lamtah a kohoe uh saeh. Te dongah a sal kah ngaimongnah aka omtoem BOEIPA tah pomsang pai saeh,” ti uh yoeyah saeh.
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise all the day long.
Te vaengah na duengnah neh namah koehnah te ka olka loh hnin at puet thuep saeh.
