< Psalms 25 >
1 David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
Aw Bawipa, na venawh ka hqingnaak zoek law nyng.
2 O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:
Aw ka Khawsa, nang ni ka ni ypnaak. Chah koeh ni phyih sak nawh, ka qaalkhqi ingawm koeh ni noeng sak.
3 Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
Nang awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi boeih taw chah am phyi tikaw, cehlai ikaw am maiawh ypawm thlang na amak awmkhqi taw chah phyihnaak hu kawm uh.
4 Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
Aw Bawipa, nang ing na lamkhqi ce nim huh nawh na cehnaak lamkhqi ce ni cawng sak lah;
5 Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:
Nang taw ka hulkung Khawsa na na awm dawngawh nak awitak khuiawh ni sawi nawh ni cawngpyi lah, myngawi kang ngaih-unaak taw nang ni.
6 Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
Aw Bawipa, syn awhkawng ak awm nam qeennaak ingkaw na lungnaak bau soeih ce sim poe lah.
7 The sins of my youth, and my transgressions, do not thou call to mind, —According to thine own lovingkindness, remember thou me, for the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.
Ka taai hui awhkaw ka thawlhnaakkhqi ingkaw hatlauh na ka awmnaak khawboe qamlangkhqi ce koeh sim poe lah, na lungnaak awh ce ni sim poe lah, Bawipa nang taw leek hyk ti.
8 Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
Leeknaak ingkaw dyngnaak ve Bawipa koe ni; Cedawngawh thlak thawlhkhqi ce amah a lamkhqi cawngpyi khqi hy.
9 May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
Dungvoeng na ak awm thlangkhqi ce a thymnaak benna sawi nawh amah a lam ce cawngpyi hy.
10 All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
Ak awipeek paipi ak thin tlawhnaak khqi taw lungnaak kap nawh a ypawm hy.
11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
Aw Bawipa, ka sai thawlhkhqi ve bau soeih mai seiawm, nang ming ak caming qeenkhaw ngai law lah.
12 Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
Cawhtaw, Bawipa ak kqih thlang ce a u hy voei nu? Lam ak tyk peek naak amyihna anih ce cuk am kik kaw.
13 His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
Anih ing khawnghyp boeih ce zo awmnaak ing hawna kawmsaw, a cadilkhqi ing qam ce pang kawm uh.
14 Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
Bawipa ing amah ak kqihkhqi venawh a paipi ce ang hyp na sim sak dym hy.
15 Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
Kamik qawi ing Bawipa ben doeng ni a toek, amah doeng ing ni ka khaw qawi ve thang awhkawng a hlam law hly.
16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
Kai benna mang law nawh nim qeen lah, khuikha ing kamah doeng ca ka awm a dawngawh.
17 The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
Kak kawlung khuikhanaak ve kqawn kaw am hut voel hy, ngaihang kawbin na ka awmnaak awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
Ka khuikhanaak ingkaw kang ngaih a kyinaak toek nawhtaw ka thawlhnaak boeih ve khoe law bang lah.
19 Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
Ka qaalkhqi pung khawnghak nawh kai a mini sawhnaak ve toek lah!
20 Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Ka hqingnaak ve qym nawhtaw kai ve ni hul lah; nang ak khuiawh kang thuk a dawngawh chahqai na koeh ni awm sak.
21 Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
Kawlung thymnaak ingkaw dyngnaak ing nik chung lah seh, kang ngaih-unaak taw nang awh a awm dawngawh.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
Aw Khawsa, a kyinaak awhkawng Isarel ve hul lah!
