Psalms 28
1 Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.
Aw Bawipa ka lungnu, namah ni ka nik khy; am hlat kaana koeh ni awm taak. Nang ing am na ning ngainaak awhtaw lawk-kqawng khuiawh ak tlakhqi amyihna ni ka awm hly.
2 Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.
Nam qeennaak huh aham ni doet nyng, na hun caih soeih benna ka kut qawi ka soeng law awh qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah.
3 Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.
Thlak chekhqi, ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi mi koeh nik dawh sih qen, cekkhqi ing a pilnamkhqi venawh zeelnaak awi taw kqawn kaa lawt hlai uhy, ak kawlung khui awhtaw ak che khqoet ni a awm.
4 Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
Ak che ik-oeih ami sainaak amyihna thung pek khqi tloep lawt lah; a mimah ing ak tyng na amah a kut sainaak ce thung pe lah.
5 Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!
Bawipa a bibinaakkhqi ingkaw a kut saikhqi ce kaw na awm a maming ngaih dawngawh, cekkhqi ce khqai poet poet kawmsaw ityk awh awm am thawh khqi voel tikaw.
6 Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
Qeennaak ka thoehnaak khqi ve a ning zaak peek a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh zoeksangnaak awm seh nyng.
7 Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.
Bawipa taw kak thaawmnaak ingkaw ka phuhqa na awm hy; kak kawlung ing amah ce ka ypnaak a dawngawh ni bawm hy. Kak kaw zeel soeih nawh amah venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn doena laa sa vang.
8 Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
Bawipa taw ak thlangkhqi ham thaawmnaak na awm nawh, amah ing a caksak thlangkhqi ham hulnaak vawngcak na awm hy.
9 Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.
Nak thlangkhqi ce hul nawhtaw na qo ak pangkhqi ce zosennaak pe lah; a mingmih a tuudoenkung na awm nawh kumqui dyna khai khqi loet lah.
