Psalms 71
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk; ityk awh awm chah qai koeh ni huh sak.
2 Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!
Na dyngnaak ing ni boem nawhtaw ni hul lah; kai benna nang haa hawi law nawhtaw ni hul lah.
3 Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
Ka cehnaak loet aham kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh; kai hul aham awi pe lah, kawtih nang taw ka lungnu ingkaw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
4 God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
AW ka Khawsa, thlak thawlhkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak tlung am tunaak awhkawng ni hul lah.
5 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
Aw Boeimang Bawipa, nang taw kang ngaih-unaak kung na awm hyk ti, ka tawng plang awhkawng ka ypnaak na awm hawh hyk ti.
6 I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
Ka thang plek ca awhkawng ni nang awh kang hang qu hawh hy; nang ing ka nu puk khui awhkawng nik dawk hyk ti. Nang ve ang loet na nim kyihcah vang.
7 The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
Thlang khawzah ang ngaihkyi naak na awm nyng. Cehlai, nang taw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
8 I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
Kam kha ve nang kyihcahnaak ing be nawh, khawnghi zung na boeimangnaak ce kqawn hy.
9 Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
Ka pacawng awh ce nang ing koeh ni qoek sut; kak tha a boeih awh ce koeh ni qoeng sut.
10 My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
Ikawtih, ka qaalkhqi ing kai ama ni ngaihnaak awi kqawn unawh; kai him aham anik qehkhqi mi kut oet na hqui qu uhy.
11 They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
Cekkhqi ing, Khawsa ing qoek hawh hy; hquut u nawhtaw tu uh, u ingawm am hul tang ti kaw,” ti uhy.
12 God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
Aw Khawsa, ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak: Aw ka Khawsa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
13 Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
Kai thawlh anik pukkhqi ce chahqai phyi u seitaw, kai a thawlh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kqawn setnaak ingkaw kaw boetnaak ing sing khqi khoep seh nyng.
14 But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
Cehlai, kai ingtaw ngaih-unaak ta loet nyng; nang ce nim kyihcah khqoet khqoet kawng nyng.
15 I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
Kam kha ing nang a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawmsaw, a nyhtahnaak am sim hqawh bai nyng seiawm, na hulnaak ce myngawi na kqawn kawng.
16 Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, law nyng saw nang ak thaawm ik-oeih saikhqi ce khypyi kawng nyng; nang a koe, nang doeng a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawng nyng.
17 God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
Aw Khawsa, ka tawng plang awhkawng nang ing ni cawngpyi tiksaw, tuhngawi dy awh nang a kawpoek kyi ik-oeih saikhqi ce kqawn nyng,
18 And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
Hang pacawng nawh ka lusam kqawk hawh seiawm, Aw Khawsa, nak thaawmnaak ce ak law hly cadilkhqi ingkaw ak law hly thlangkhqi venawh kak kqawn hlan dy, nang ing koeh ni qoek sut.
19 God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
Aw Khawsa, ik-oeih bau soeih ak saikung, na dyngnaak ing khawnghi hak pha hy, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai?
20 You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
Kyinaak khawzah papa ingkaw ak kha soeih khawzah na ni huh sak hawh hlai hyk ti, ka hqingnaak ve ni pe tlaih kawp ti, dek a dungnaak a hun awhkawng ni hak dawk tlaih kawp ti.
21 You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.
Ka thangleeknaak pung law sak kawm tiksaw ni ngaih ding law sak tlaih bai kawp ti.
22 I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
Aw ka Khawsa, na ypawmnaak awh nang ce tingtoeng ing nim kyihcah kawng nyng saw; Aw Israel a thlak ciim, qaw tingtoeng tum doena nang kyihcahnaak laa ce sa vang.
23 I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
Nang kyihcahnaak laa ka sak awh ce ka hui ve zeel doena khy kaw. Kai ve nang ing ni, nani hul hy.
24 All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
Kam lai ing nang a ik-oeih sai ak dyng ce khawnghi zung kqawn kaw, kawtih kai tlawh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce chahqai phyi unawh ngaihang tumna awm hawh uhy.
