Psalms 109
1 God, you are the one whom I praise, [So please] answer [my prayer],
Kai ing kam kyih, Aw Khawsa, awi myhna koeh awm hqoeng,
2 because wicked people slander me and tell [MTY] lies about me.
kawtih thlakchekhqi ingkaw thlak thaikhqi ing amim kha ni ang sih khqi nawh; ami qaai ce kqawn uhy.
3 They are constantly saying that they hate me, and they say evil things about me for no reason.
Sawhnaak awi ing nik chung khqi nawh, akawng a awm kaana ni tuk khqi hy.
4 I show them that I want to be their friends and I pray for them, but [instead of being kind to me], they say that I have done evil things.
Ka pyi na ka taaknaak ce thawlh puknaak na haw law na uhy, cehlai kai taw ak cykcah thlang na awm nyng.
5 In return for my doing good things for them and loving them, they do evil things to me and hate me.
A leek ce ak che ing thung law unawh, pyi na ka taaknaak cesawhnaak ing thung law uhy.
6 They said, “Appoint a wicked [judge] who will judge him, and bring in one of his enemies who will stand up and accuse him.
Anih ak oelh aham thlakche ce taak pe tloep; thawlh a pukkung ce ak tang ben awh pha seh.
7 And cause that when the trial [ends], [the judge will] declare that he is guilty, and that [even] his prayer will be considered to be a sin.
Awideng na a awm awh, dawk lo seitaw, ak cykcahnaak ing dawk sak seh.
8 [Then], cause that he will soon die and that someone else will have his job/work (OR, possessions).
A hqinglu tawi pe seitaw; thlakchang ing hquikung dyih hun ce qawt pe tloep seh.
9 Cause that his children will not have a father any more and that his wife will become a widow.
A cakhqi cadah na awm u seitaw a zukhqi nuhai na awm u seh.
10 Cause that his children will be forced to leave the ruined homes that they have been living in and wander around begging for food.
A cakhqi ing kut dun doena van u seitaw; a imqawk awhkawng hqek na awm u seh.
11 Cause that all the people to whom he owed money will seize all his property; Cause that strangers will take away everything that he worked to acquire.
Ik-oeih a capung na ak pukhqi ing a khawhthemkhqi ce lawh pe boeih u seitaw; a bibinaak phu ce khinkhqi ing muk pe bang seh.
12 Cause that [while he is still living] no one will be kind to him, and [after he dies], cause that no one will pity his children.
U ingawm koeh qeen seitaw pa amak ta naasenkhqi awm koeh qeen u seh.
13 Cause that all his descendants will die and that his grandchildren will not remember who he [MTY] was.
A cadil naa ce law boet seitaw, ak law hly kawi chawn awhkaw ming khui awhkawng qeng u seh.
14 Yahweh, remember [and do not forgive] his ancestors for the evil things that they did, and do not [even] forgive the sins that his mother committed;
Ami pakhqi thawlhnaak ce Bawipa hai awh sim loet na awm seitaw ami nu a thawlhnaak ce koeh qeng voel seh.
15 think about his sins continually, and cause that his name will be completely forgotten.
Cekkhqi sim loetnaak ce khawmdek awh a law boetnaak aham a mingmih a thawlhnaak ce Bawipa haiawh awm loet seh.
16 He never was kind to anyone; he (persecuted/cause problems for) poor and needy [people] and even killed helpless [people].
Ikawtih qeennaak tive poek awm ap poek qoe qoe hy, khawdeng ak voet hlauhkhqi ingkaw kawlung ak kqekkhqi ce him aham hqut hy.
17 He liked to curse [people]. [So] cause those terrible things that he requested to happen to others to happen to him! He did not want to bless [others], [so] cause that no one will bless him!
Lihoei ce lungna hy – amah ak khan awh tla tloep seh; thlang a zoseennaak awh ak kaw am law hy – zoseennaak ce anih a venawh kawng ak hla na awm lawt seh.
18 He cursed other people [as often/easily] as he put on his clothes [SIM]; cause that the terrible things that he wanted to happen to others will [happen to him and] enter his body like water [that he drinks] [SIM], like [olive] oil soaks into a person’s bones [when it is rubbed on his skin] [SIM].
Lihoei ce hi na bai nawh; a pum khuiawh tui amyihna kun pehy.
19 Cause that those terrible things will cling to him like his clothes and be around him like the belt that he wears every day.”
Ce ing angki amyihna zawl khak seitaw cawi pinnaak amyihna kumqui dy pin seh.
20 Yahweh, I want you to punish all my enemies that way, those who say evil things about me.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi ingkaw, kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi a venawh Bawipa ing ve ve thaphu na pe seh.
21 But Yahweh, my God, do good things for me in order that I may honor you; rescue me [from my enemies] because your faithfully loving me is good.
Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Khawsa, nang ing nang ming ak caming ak leek na ni sai nawh; na lungnaak ak leek ak caming ni hul lah.
22 [I ask you to do this] because I am poor and needy and my inner being is (full of pain/very troubled/discouraged).
Khawdeng ingkaw voethlauh thlang na awm nyng saw, kak kawk khuiawh ak lingbyi ing ngawha ai hy.
23 [I think that] my time [to remain alive] is short, like an evening shadow [that will soon disappear] [SIM]. I will be blown away like a locust/grasshopper is blown [by the wind].
Khawmy ben awhkaw khawngkawn amyihna nung thoeih hawh nyng saw; khamkhawk amyihna tlai let let nyng.
24 My knees are weak because I have (fasted/abstained from eating food) very often, and my body has become very thin.
Buh ka hyhnaak awh kam khawkhlu qawi am cak voel hy; kang sak boeih qep qep nawh a tankqat na awm hqoeng nyng.
25 The people who accuse me make fun of me; when they see me, they [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man].
Thawlh anik puk khqi ak kqawnseet aham awm kqoeng nyng saw; a mini huh awh ami lu hil uhy.
26 Yahweh, my God, help me! Because you faithfully love [me], rescue me!
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni hul lah; na lungnaak ak caming ni hul cang lah.
27 [When you save me], cause my enemies to know that you are the one who has done it!
Ve ve nang a kut ni tice sim sak nawh, Aw Bawipa, nang ing ni na sai tice sim sak lah.
28 They may curse me, but I ask that you bless me. Cause those who (persecute/cause problems for) me [to be defeated and as a result] to be disgraced/ashamed, and cause me to be glad/happy!
Cekkhqi ing khawseet hly hlai uhy, nang ingtaw zoseen pe hyk ti; cekkhqi ing ami tuk awh chah phyi kawm uh, cehlai nang a tyihzawih taw zeel kaw.
29 Cause those who accuse me to be completely disgraced; cause [other people to see] that they are disgraced, as [easily as they see] the clothes that they wear [SIM]!
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi taw ming seetnaak ce hi amyihna bai kawm u saw chahnaak ing angki amyihna zawl qu khoep kawm uh.
30 But I will thank Yahweh very greatly; I will praise him [when I am] among the crowd [of people who are worshiping him].
Kam kha ing Bawipa ce khawzah na zoeksang kawng nyng saw; thlang kqeng khawzah anglakawh amah kyihcah kawng nyng.
31 [I will do that] because he defends [MTY] needy [people like me], and saves us from those who have decided/declared that we must be executed.
Ikawtih anik palh sak khqi a venawh kawng anih a hqingnaak ce hul peek aham anih taw ak voethlauhkhqi ak tang ben awh dyi hy.
