< Psalms 64 >

1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
Aw Khawsa, kang ngaih kyinaak awi ka sa awh ve, ngai law lah; kqih awm qaal anglakawhkawng ka hqingnaak ve hlip chung lah.
2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
Thlakchekhqi a tengnaak awhkawng ni thuh nawhtaw, khawboek chekhqi awipungkhqi ven awhkawng ni thuh lah.
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
Amim laikhqi ce zawzi amyihna taak pat la unawh, ak chy ak ngan la amyihna amik awi ing thlang hyt uhy.
4 Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
Ak awm dym thlang ce mah unawh kaap uhy, kqihnaak taak kaana, anih ce kaap zap uhy.
5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
Ak che ik-oeih poeknaak awh tha pe qu unawh, ang hypna ami dun thang akawng ce kqawn uhy; “U ing a huh tang kaw?” ti uhy.
6 because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
Amak thym ik-oeih awh za qu unawh, “sai ham hly nik poek hloem lauh hy aa!” ti uhy. Thlanghqing ak kawlung ve qaai kqawn thai pai hy.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Cehlai, cekkhqi ce Khawsa ing la ing kaap kaw; kawlkalh awh cekkhqi ce kaap hawh kaw.
8 Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
A mimah am lai ha ce hawi pek khqi khup phlet kawmsaw plawci sak khqi kaw; ak hukhqi boeih ing thekhanaak ing a lu thlek sih kawm uh.
9 And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
Thlanghqing boeih ing kqih hawh kawm uh; Khawsa bibi ce kqawn kawm usaw a ik-oeih sai ce poek kawm uh.
10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
Thlakdyng ingtaw Khawsa awh zeel seitaw amah awh ce thuk seh; kawlung ak dyngkhqi boeih ing amah kyihcah seh!
