Psalms 40
1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody. I waited patiently for Yahweh, —And he inclined, unto me, and heard my cry for help;
Bawipa ce kawdungnaak ing ka qeh dawngawh; kai benna mang law nawh kang kqangnaak awi ce za hy.
2 So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire, —And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:
Lawk-kqawng dek nawng ak plai ak khui awhkawng nik dawk nawh, lungnu awh ka khaw ce ni leh sak hy, kang dyihnaak na hun nep ce ni pehy.
3 Then put he, into my mouth, a new song, Praise to our God, —Many shall see and revere, And shall trust in Yahweh.
Ningmih a Khawsa kyihcahnaak lak thai ce kam kha awh ta law hy. Thlang khawzah ing ami huh awh ce kqih kawm usaw Bawipa ce ypna kawm uh.
4 How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.
Bawipa ak ypnaak thlang, amak thym khawsakhqi benna hawi unawh ak oek qu thlang amak toek taw a zoseen hy.
5 Mighty things, hast thou done—Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes towards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee—I would tell, and would speak!—They are too great to rehearse.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, kawpoek kyi na saikhqi doem soeih hy. Kaimih aham ik-oeih na qaalkhqi ve a doem soeih a dawngawh u ingawm am dang sak thai noeng hy, cemyihkhqi ce kqawn qoe nyng seiawm, noet noeng kaa ingkaw kqawn noeng kaana doem soeih hy.
6 Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, —Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:
Bulnaak lucik nawn ce am hy tiksaw, kang haa ni vyh pe hawh hyk ti; hyih phumnaak ingkaw thawlh bulnaak ce am ngoe hyk ti.
7 Then, said I—Lo! I am come, In the written scroll, is it prescribed for me;
Cawhtaw kai ing, “Vena awm nyng, law hawh nyng cahawn khuiawh ka kawng qee na awm hawh hy.
8 To do thy good-pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:
Aw ka Khawsa, nak kawngaih ce sai aham hy nawh; na anaa awi ce kak kawlung awh khoem khak nyng,” ka ti.
9 I have told the good-tidings of righteousness in a great convocation, Lo! my lips, do I not restrain, O Yahweh, thou, knowest:
Dyngnaak ce thlangkqeng anglakawh kqawn nawh; AW Bawipa na sim hawh amyihna ka hui am khyp nyng.
10 Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.
Na dyngnaak ce kak kawk khuiawh am thuh nyng saw; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na hulnaak khqi ce kqawn nyng. Thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh na lungnaak awitak ce am phah nyng.
11 Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over me.
Aw Bawipa, nam qeennaak ce ka hamna koeh hlawh lah; na lungnaak ingkaw nak awitak ing nik chung poepa seh.
12 For there have closed in upon me, misfortunes beyond number, Mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see, They have become more than the hairs of my head, And, my courage, hath forsaken me!
Ikawtih, noet boeih kaa kyinaakkhqi ing nik chung khoep nawh; ka thawlhnaak ing anik chung hawh dawngawh, ka mik am dang voel hy. Ka lu awhkaw ka lusam anglakawh doem khqoet unawh, kak kaw boet hqoeng hy.
13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to rescue me, O Yahweh! to help me, make haste!
Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham nak kaw zeel sak lah; Aw Bawipa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
14 Let them turn pale and then at once blush, who are seeking my life to snatch it away, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, who are taking pleasure in my calamity;
Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak tengkhqi ce chah qai phyi kawt na awm u seitaw ngai hangtum na awm lah u seh; kai plawci sak aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kawboet doena hlat u seh.
15 Let them be astonished on account of their own shame, who are saying of me, Aha! Aha!
A ha! kai anik tinaakkhqi ce amik chah aih awh cat lyt lyt u seh.
16 Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, who are seekers of thee. Let them say continually—Yahweh be magnified! who are lovers of thy salvation.
Cehlai, nang anik suikhqi boeih taw zeel u seitaw nang ak khan awh ce amik kaw zeel seh; ang quina, “Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh!” ti u seh.
17 But, I, being oppressed and needy, May My Lord devise for me, —My help and my deliverer, thou art! O my God, do not tarry!
Cehlai, kai taw khawdeng thlang ingkaw ak syt thlang na awm nyng; Bawipa ing nik poek seh. Nang taw ka hulkung ingkaw anik hulkung na awm hyk ti; Aw ka Khawsa, koeh yih.
