Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk hy, chah koeh ni phyih sak; na dyngnaak awh ce ni hul lah.
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
Nang haa keng law nawhtaw, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah; kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh, ka hulkung vawngcak na awm lah.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Nang taw kang thuknaak ingkaw ka vawngnu na, na awm a dawngawh nang ming ak caming ni ceh pyi nawhtaw ni hqui lah.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Ka haiawh a dun qu thang awhkawng ni loet sak lah, nang taw kang thuknaak kung na na awm a dawngawh.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
Na kut awh kang myihla ni pe nyng; Aw Bawipa awitak Khawsa ni hul lah.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Kawna amak awm myiqawl ak bawkkhqi ce sawh na nyng saw; Bawipa ce ypna nyng.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Na lungnaak awh ce zeelmang ing awm vang, kawtih nang ing ka kyinaak ce hu law tiksaw kang myihla ing a khuikhanaak ce sim hyk ti.
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
Ka qaal a venawh amni pe nawh ka khaw qawi ve hun nepnaak awh ning dyih sak hyk ti.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
Aw Bawipa ngaihang kawbin na ka awm a dawngawh, kai ve nim qeen lah; kak kawseet aih awh mik awm am dai hqa voel nyng; kang myihla ingkaw ka pum awm kawseet lungnat zawk hy.
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Ka hqingnaak ve kawsetnaak ing daih nawh ka kumkhqi awm ko ang kqangnaak ing khaw kum boeih hy; ka khuikha aih awh kak tha awm boet hqoeng nawh, ka quh awm ak tha am awm voel hy.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
Ka qaalkhqi dawngawh, ka pilnamkhqi ing ni hep unawh; ka pyikhqi ing nik kqih uhy - lam awh kai anik hukhqi ing ni centaak boeih uhy.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
Ak thi hawh amyihna cekkhqi ing nim hilh boeih uhy; dek-am ak kqek zak amyihna ni ka awm hqoeng hawh.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Thlang khawzah ing a mini tengnaak awi doeng za nyng; voei a vang awh kqihnaak hqoeng na awm hy; kai ing am ka ngaihnaak ben awh ce za qu unawh ka hqingnaak him aham cai uhy.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
Cehlai, Bawipa nang ni ka ni ypnaak; “nang taw ka Khawsa ni” ti nyng.
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
Ka tymkhqi ve nang a kut khuiawh ni a awm; ka qaalkhqi ingkaw kai anik hqutkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Na tyihzawih ak khan awh na haai hlangpan sak nawh; amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing ni hul lah.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Aw Bawipa, chah koeh ni phyih sak, nang a venawh ni kak khy law; cehlai thlak chekhqi taw chah phyih sak nawh phyi khuiawh awimyh na zaih sak khing lah. (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Cekkhqi ing qaai awi amik kqawnnaak hui ce sit sak lah, oek qunaak ingkaw hepnaak ing thlakdyngkhqi ce amik kaa naak a dawngawh.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
Nang anik kqihkhqi aham cun pe nawh, thlanghqingkhqi haiawh nang awh ak thukkhqi aham na taak zoseennaak taw bau soeih hy.
20 You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
Ang hyp na ak tengkungkhqi ven awhkawng na haai awhkaw awmnaak hun awh ak mawng na ta hyk ti.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Khawk bau cak awh ka awm awh kawpoek kyi qeennaak ce ang dang law sak a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng.
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
Ka ly aih awh, “ning hawi taak valh hawh amih hyk ti!” ti nyng. Cehlai, qeennaak ka thoeh law awh ce qeennaak ing kak khynaak awi ce ngai law hyk ti.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
A thlakciimkhqi boeih aw, Bawipa ce lungna lah uh! Bawipa ing ypawm thlangkhqi ce hqui a sawi nawh ak oek qu thlangkhqi taw a khawboe amyihna thung pehy.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Nangmih Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi boeih namik tha awm sak unawh na mim thin caksak lah uh.
