< Psalms 141 >

1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
O Yahweh Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!
2 Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
Kataona hi nahenga gimnamtwi kilhut bang' in chule kakhut teni kadopsang hi nilhah lang kilhaina gantha bang' in neisanpeh tan.
3 Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
O Yahweh Pakai, kakam' a hin kamdal neikoipeh' in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.
4 Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
Thilse bolna din kalungthim aselam-a kon' in neihoidah sah in, thil dihlou bolna' a neipansah hih' in. Thildihlou bol hon aphat chompiu thangset umtah thil hoa chan nei neisah hih' in.
5 It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
Alamkaiteu kol' a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.
7 Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
Songpi akikhet keh teng tol' a akitakeh bang in, miphalou ho gule chang ho jong vui louva kithe jal ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
8 But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina neitosah hih in.
9 [It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
Kei ona dinga thang akam-uva kon in neihuhdoh in, thilpha lou jenga chon ho thangkol' a nei o-sah hih in.
10 I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah' in.
