< Psalms 19 >
1 [When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
Vanho'n Elohim Pathen loupina aphongdoh un ahi. Vanthamjol hon jong akhut thepna atahlangui.
2 Day after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
Anitin in aphongdoh jing jeng un; jansim janseh le amachu aseiphong jingui.
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
Ocheng soh lou vin thu asei un; a ocheng'u hi akijakha ngaipoi.
4 But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
Ahinlah athu chun vainoi alodim in, thucheng jong chun vannoi leiset athechansoh in ahi. Vanthamjol hoa Elohim Pathen in nisa chenna ding asem peh e.
5 it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
Hihchu kichen jouva moulang emsel a ahung potdoh bangin avahchan jengin ahi. Kisongtah a lhaitet golseh a pango bang in haltah le kipah tah in aum e.
6 The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
Vanmong langkhatna konnin nisa ahung sohdoh jin ajotna ding vanmong lang khat gei in ajui peh jie. Hiche asat a kon chun imacha ahoidoh ji poi.
7 The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become wise.
Yahweh Pakai thuhil hohi achamkim in, lhagaova asuhhal jing in ahi. Yahweh Pakai Dan thu hohi tahsanthei tah ahin milham jong chihsah jengthei ahi.
8 Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
Yahweh Pakai thupeh hohi adih'in, lungthim kipasah ji e. Yahweh Pakai thupeh hohi akicheh'in lungsunga hetthem theina eipeuvin ahi.
9 It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
Yahweh Pakai ginle jana neihi athengin ahi, hichehi tonsotna ding ahitai. Yahweh Pakai thutan hi adih'e; a etih a dih jing jeng ahi.
10 The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
Hicheho chu sana sanga deiumjo ahin, sana thengpen sanga jong deiumjo ahi. Khoiju sangin jong alhumjon, akhoiphang dunga kilhoh lhatil sangin jong alhumjoi.
11 Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
Hicheho hi nasohpa dinga gihsal na ahin, nathu nung hoa dia kipana chanvou lentah ahi.
12 But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
Kalungsunga chonset kisel guh jouse hi itikahetdoh jouding ham? Hitobanga kiselgua setna hoa konhin neisilthengin.
13 Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
Nasoh hi henasasa chonset bolna a konnin neihuhdoh'in! Hicheho hi kachunga vaihomsah hihbeh'in, chuteng keima chonsetna a konna kahoidoh ding ahi.
14 O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
Kakam a kon'a hung potdoh thucheng holeh kalungsunga kalunggel ho nalunglhaina hihen, O Yahweh Pakai kasongpi leh eihuhhingpu.
