Psalms 7
1 Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit teh Benjamin tami Kush e lawk kecu dawk BAWIPA hmalah a sak e la Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, nang teh na kâuep. Na ka pacekpahlek e pueng koehoi na rungngang nateh na hlout sak haw.
2 If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
Hoehpawiteh, sendek patetlah na kei vaiteh, rungngangkung ao hoehnahlan vah, na paset awh han doeh.
3 Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kai ni hottelah ka sak vaiteh, ka kut dawk payonnae kaawm nakunghai,
4 if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
Kai koe duem kaawm e hah thoenae hoi ka patho teh, ka tarannaw hah a khuekhaw awm laipalah ka coungroe pawiteh,
5 allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
taran ni na pâlei naseh, na phat naseh. Kahringnae hah talai dawk repcoungroe awh naseh. Minhmai barinae hah vaiphu dawk tat awh naseh. (Selah)
6 But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
Oe BAWIPA, lungkhuek laihoi thaw haw, ka tarannaw e lungkhueknae hah ngang haw. Kâ na poe tangcoung patetlah kai han lawkceng hanlah thaw haw.
7 Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
Miphunnaw kamkhueng awh vaiteh, nang hah na kalup awh han. Ahnimouh hanlah arasangnae koe ban haw.
8 Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
BAWIPA ni lawk a ceng han. Oe BAWIPA, ka lannae hoi ka thung kaawm e yuemkamcu lah ka o e patetlah lawk na ceng haw.
9 God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
Oe tamikathoutnaw, thoenae teh poutsak lah awm lawiseh. Hatei, lannae teh caksak lah awm seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lan e Cathut ni lungthin hoi pouknae hah ouk a tanouk.
10 God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
Lungthin kalannaw rungngangkung Cathut teh kai kânguenae lah ao.
11 You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
Cathut teh kalan e lawkcengkung lah ao teh, Cathut teh tamikathoutnaw koe hnintangkuem a lungkhuek.
12 Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
Pankângai hoehpawiteh, a tahloi hah kata vaiteh, licung hah sawn vaiteh, coungkacoe lah ao han.
13 You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
Duenae senehmaica hai ahni hanlah a rakueng teh, hmai kang thai e samtang hah a sak awh.
14 Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
Tamikathout ni yonnae hah a khe. Runae hah a vawn teh laithoe ouk a khe.
15 But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
Tangkom kadungpoung lah a tai teh, a tai e tangkom dawk ama letlang a bo.
16 They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
A sak e runae hah amae lû van bout ban vaiteh, a tâcosak e thoenae teh amae lû van bout a pha han.
17 I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
BAWIPA teh a lan e patetlah ka pholen han. Lathueng Poung BAWIPA min pholen hoi la ka sak han.
