Psalms 43

1 God, declare that I (am innocent/have not done things that are wrong). Defend me when (ungodly people/people who do not worship you) say things against me, rescue me from people who deceive and [say things about me that are] not true.

Aw Khawsa, ka thymnaak ve dang sak lah, Khawsa amak sim pilnam anglakawh ka thymnaak ve nik kqawn pyi lah; qaai ak kqawnkhqi ingkaw thlakche kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.

2 You are God, the one who protects me; (why have you abandoned me?/it seems that you have abandoned me!) [RHQ] It does not seem right that [RHQ] I am forced to mourn/cry constantly because my enemies are cruel to me.

Nang taw Khawsa ka vawngcak na awm hyk ti. Ikawtih na ni qoek vik? Ikawtih ka qaalkhqi ing ni nam qap nawh ngaihkyi ing ko doena kang pla khing kaw?

3 Shine your light on me and speak your truth to me; and let them guide me, and take me back to Zion, your sacred hill [at Jerusalem], and to [your temple], where you live.

Na vangnaak ingkaw nak awitak ce tyi nawhtaw, cekqawi ing ni sawi lah seh; cekqawi ing na awmnaak tlang ciim na ni ceh pyi lah seh.

4 When you do that, I will go to your altar, to [worship you], my God, who causes me to be extremely joyful. There I will praise you, the God whom I [worship], while I play my harp.

Cawhtaw Khawsa a bawkthang a awmnaak, ka awmhlynaak ingkaw ka zeelnaak Khawsa venna cet kawng. Aw Khawsa, ka Khawsa nang ce tingtoeng ing nim kyihcah vang.

5 So (why am I sad and discouraged?/I should not be sad and discouraged!) [RHQ] I confidently expect God [to bless me], and I will praise him again, my God, the one who saves me.

Aw ka hqingnaak ikaw tinawh nu nang ngam hqoeng vik? Ikawtih kak kawk khuiawh ngaihang tum na na awm? Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ce ta lah, anih taw kam kyihcah hly dawngawh, ka hulkung ingkaw ka Khawsa ce.
