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.

O Elohim Pathen themmona bei kahi neiphongdoh in! Elohim Pathen ginglou hoa kon in nei vengdoh in, chutengleh mikitah lou holeh joupan hoa kon in neihuhdoh in.

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.

Ajeh chu nanghi kakiselna Pathen Elohim nahi, ibol a neipaidoh hitam? Ibol a keima kadougal ten eibolset jeh a lunggim a kava lele dingham?

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.

Nadih na le navah na chu neihinsol peh in, hichun eilamhil hen. Hihochun nangma chenna muol theng chu eilhut hen.

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.

Hikomma chun keima Elohim Pathen maicham achu kasemjang puma kathang vahding ahi, O Pathen Elohim.

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.

Idia lungkham kahim? Ipidinga kalung lhadah ham? Keiman kakinepna Elohim Pathen a koi inge! Eihuhhingpa le Elohim ka Pathen keiman nangma thangvah kit inge!
