Psalms 17
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
Aw Bawipa, dyngnaak ing ka thoeh law ve za nawhtaw, kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah. Kak cykcahnaak benna nang haa keeng lah-qaai kqawnnaak hui awhkawng ak law awi amni.
2 You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
Nang a ven awhkawng kak khanawh awi tlyhnaak law seitaw ak thym ik-oeih ce namik ing hu lah seh.
3 You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
Kak kawlung ve nik ching nawh than awh ni hqip lah, ni nai ni nawng hlai hyk ti, kaw awm am hu kawp ti; kam kha ing am thlawlh tikaw ti hawh nyng.
4 I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
Thlanghqing a ik-oeih sai amyihna - na hui awhkaw awi ing thlak chekhqi cehnaak lam awh am ka paanaak aham khoem qu hawh nyng.
5 I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
Ka khawkham ing na lam hquut nawh; ka khaw ing am bah man hy.
6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
Aw Khawsa nang ce nik khy nyng, nang ing nim hlat kawm tiksaw; nang haa keng law nawh kak cykcahnaak awi ve za lah.
7 Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
Qaal anglakawhkawng nang awh thuknaak sui nawh tang kut ing ak hulkung, na lungnaak ak bau soeih ce dang sak lah.
8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
Na mik thlang amyihna ni qym nawh, nang hla khuiawh ning thuk sak lah.
9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
Kai cem a qaal na anik thawh sihkhqi ingkaw kai anik chung khoep ka pumsa qaal anglakawhkawng.
10 They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
Am thin ak sah thlang na awm unawh, am kha ing cawngcah qunaak awi kqawn uhy.
11 They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
Ka hu thuih law unawh nik chung khoep hawh uhy, Deklai khawngnaak aham ni mik lyl na hawh uhy.
12 They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
Mehsa buh na cawi khit nawh, ak plup nakawng qamsa cuuk sih aham ak cai samthyyn amyihna awm uhy.
13 Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
Aw Bawipa, tho lah, a mingmih ce mam khqi nawh, tluk sak khqi lah; nak zawzi ing thlak che kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
14 Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
Aw Bawipa, na kut ing ce mih thlangkhqi, ve khawmdek hqing khui doeng awhkaw laksawng ak takhqi a kut khui awhkawng ni hlam lah. Thlangkhqi amik phoen ce kawn ing be sak khqi nawh, a canaakhqi awm kqeng nawh ami cakhqi aham khawhthem ce cun pek khqi uhy.
15 Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
Kai ingtaw dyngnaak ing na myi ce hu kawng; ka hang hqyng law awh, na myi ak lo na ka awm ce hu nyng saw kang ngaih tlyp tikaw.
