Psalms 59
1 God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
Kathutkung: Devit, Sawl ni a patoun e naw ni Devit thei hanelah im a ring awh navah sak e la Oe ka Cathut, ka taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Na ka tarannaw koehoi na hlout sak haw.
2 Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
Ka payonnaw koehoi na rungngang haw. Tami kathetnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw.
3 Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
Ahnimouh ni thei hanelah na pawp awh. Athakaawmnaw teh, kai taranlahoi a kamkhueng awh. Oe BAWIPA, ka yonnae hoi kâtapoenae dawk nahoeh.
4 It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
Ka payon hoeh e dawk hoi a yawng awh teh, a kâcai awh. Thaw nateh, khenhaw! na kabawm haw.
5 Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
Hatdawkvah, oe ransahu BAWIPA Cathut, Isarel Cathut, miphun pueng rek hanlah thaw haw, kâtapoe e tamikathoutnaw hah pahren hanh. (Selah)
6 They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
Tangmin vah a ban awh teh, khopui a lawngven awh teh, ui patetlah a rauk awh.
7 They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
Ahnimouh teh, dudamnae lawk a dei awh teh, ahnimae pahni dawk tahloi ao teh, apinimouh a thai han aw ati awh.
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
Hatei, oe BAWIPA, ahnimouh teh na panuikhai han. Miphun pueng teh nang hanlah panui ka tho e lah ao awh.
9 God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
Oe nang, a tha kaawm e, pou na ring han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kânguenae doeh.
10 Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
Lungmakung Cathut ni, na dawn han. Cathut ni ka tarannaw lathueng, ka ngainae a pha sak e hah na hmu sak han.
11 But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
Ahnimouh teh thet hanh. Hoehpawiteh, ka taminaw ni a pahnim payon awh han doeh. Oe BAWIPA, kaie bahling, na thaonae hoi kapek nateh, koung rahnoum sak haw.
12 Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a pahni dawk hoi a tâco sak e dei payonnae lawk kecu dawkvah, a kâoupnae dawk kâman awh naseh. Thoebonae hoi laithoe a dei awh.
13 because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
Lungkhuek laihoi kahmat sak haw. Hahoi Cathut ni Jakop lathueng vah, lawk a ceng tie hah talai poutnae koe totouh panuek awh naseh.
14 My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
Tangmin lah ban awh naseh. Ui patetlah rauk laihoi khopui hah lawngven awh naseh.
15 They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
Ca hane rawca a tawng awh teh, a von a paha hoehroukrak a rauk awh.
16 But [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
Hatei, na thaonae hah la hoi ka sak han. Amom vah na lungmanae hah, kacaipounglah la hoi ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka kânguenae hoi lungpout navah, ka yawngnae lah na o.
17 God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
Oe ka thaonae, nang koe pholennae la ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh ka kânguenae lah ao teh, lungmakung Cathut lah ao.
