Psalms 140
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khuiawh kawng ni hul lah; boeksekhqi a kut khui awhkawng nang ing nik chung lah,
2 Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:
ak kawlung khuiawh ak che poeknaak doeng ta unawh myngawi qaal na tho loet uhy.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, —The poison of the asp, is under their lips. (Selah)
A mim laikhqi ce khqui am lai amyihna hqat sak unawh; khquihse a chy ce ami hui kqang awm hy.
4 Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, —who have devised, to thrust at my steps:
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khui awhkawng nang ing ni khoem lah; kai a khawkham lawlh sak aham ak cai thlakchekhqi anglakawhkawng ni hlip lah.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. (Selah)
Ak oek qukhqi ing kai aham ang hyp na dawng dun law unawh; lawk qui ce zan law uhy, ka cehnaak lam boeih awh dun law uhy.
6 I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.
Aw Bawipa, nang a venawh, “Nang taw ka Khawsa ni,” ti nyng. Aw Bawipa, qeennaak thoeh doena kang kqangnaak awi ve ngai law lah.
7 O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, kai anik hulkung thakawm, qal tuknaak kung awh ka lu ak dah lawkung –
8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. (Selah)
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi a ngaihnaak ce koeh soep law pe sak; a ming cainaak awm koeh coeng sak, cemyih am mantaw oek qu hau kawm uh.
9 As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:
Kai anik chungkhqi a lukhqi taw a mimah a hui ing ang coeng sak kyinaak ing sing pe seh.
10 May there be dropped on them live coals, —Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.
Maikqawng ce a mingmih ak khan awh tlaak pe seitaw; a mami thawh thai voel aham mai awh, lawk-kqawng khuina khawng u seh.
11 As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, —As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
Qam khuiawh thlang kqawnseet na ak nget khqi ce koeh awm seh; boeksekhqi taw seetnaak ing a hu awh hquut seh.
12 I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
Bawipa ing thymnaak ce khawdengkhqi ham taak pe nawh ak voethlauhkhqi ce dawm a hlai hy tice sim nyng.
13 Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Thlakdyngkhqi ing nang ang ming ce kyihcah kawm usaw thlak leek khqi ce na haiawh awm kawm uh.
