Psalms 55
1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, God; and do not hide yourself from my plea.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Neginoth ah sak han koi, David ih masakil. Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih hoi angqoi taak hmah.
2 Pay attention to me and answer me; I have no rest in my troubles
Na tahngai pae ah loe pathim ah: poek anghmang sut moe,
3 because of the voice of my enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring trouble on me and persecute me in anger.
ka misa ih lok hoi kasae kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih pongah, ka hang khing boeh; nihcae loe a sakpazae o haih to ka nuiah amtik o, kai palung ang phui o thuih moe, ang hnukma o.
4 My heart trembles within me, and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
Ka palung loe athung ah patangkhang; duek zithaih mah ang kraeng khoep boeh.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Ka nuiah zithaih hoi tasoehhaih to phak moe, kai loe zithaih mah muek khoep boeh.
6 I said, “Oh, if only I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away and be at rest.
To naah, Aw pahuu baktiah pakhraeh ka tawnh soe nahaeloe, kangthla ah ka zawk moe, amding rue ah ka oh han boeh!
7 See, then I would wander far away; I would stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
Khenah, kangthla ah kam het moe, praezaek ah ka oh ving han. (Selah)
8 I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.”
Takhi pui hoi takhi sae to loih hanah, karangah ka cawnh han, tiah ka thuih.
9 Devour them, Lord, confuse their language! For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Aw Angraeng, nihcae amrosak hanah, lok to anghmangsak ah; vangpui thungah lokpunghaih hoi angzoehhaih to ka hnuk boeh.
10 Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in the middle of it.
Nihcae loe aqum athun sipae taengah caeh o; athung ah loe kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih hoi qahhaih to oh.
11 Wickedness is in the middle of it; oppression and deceit do not leave its streets.
Kasae sakhaih vangpui thungah oh o, lampuinawk ah kaom pacaekthlaekhaih hoi alinghaih loe boeng thai ai boeh.
12 For it was not an enemy who rebuked me, then I could have borne it; neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
Kai pahnui thuih kami loe kai ih misa na ai ni, kai ih misa ah om cadoeh ka pauep thai tih; angmah hoi angmah amkoeh moe, kai hnuma kami doeh kai ih misa na ai ni, kai ih misa ah om nahaeloe, anih to ka yae ving han:
13 But it was you, a man equal to myself, my companion and my close friend.
to kami loe, kai hoi kanghmong, kam pui, ampui kangzong ah kaom, nang ni.
14 We had sweet fellowship together; we walked in the house of God with the throng.
Kaicae loe kahoih lok to ka thuih o moe, kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw im ah ka caeh o.
15 Let death come suddenly on them; let them go down alive to Sheol, for wickedness is where they live, right among them. (Sheol h7585)
Sethaih loe nihcae ohhaih ahmuen, nihcae salakah oh pongah, nihcae to duekhaih mah naeh nasoe loe, hell thungah kahingah caeh o nasoe. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call on God, and Yahweh will save me.
Toe kai loe, Sithaw to ka kawk han; Angraeng mah na pahlong tih.
17 In the evening, morning and at noonday I complain and moan; he will hear my voice.
Duembang, akhawnbang hoi athun ah, lawkthuihaih hoiah ka hangh; to naah anih mah ka lok na thaih pae tih.
18 He will safely rescue my life from the battle that was against me, for those who fought against me were many.
Kai tuh kami loe pop o parai pognah, kai ang tuk o naah, anih mah monghaih hoiah ka hinghaih ang pahlong.
19 God, the one who rules from eternity, will hear them and humiliate them. (Selah) They never change, and they do not fear God.
Canghnii hoiah kaom poe Sithaw mah thaih naah, nihcae to pacaekthlaek tih. (Selah) Nihcae loe amkhraihaih om ai pongah, Sithaw zii o ai.
20 My friend has raised his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has not respected the covenant that he had.
To baktih kami loe a thuih ih lok baktiah om ai, angmah hoi angdaeh ampui to misa ah suek.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was hostile; his words were softer than oil, yet they were actually drawn swords.
Pakha hoi tacawt a thuih ih loknawk loe samdai baktiah amnae, toe palung thungah loe misatuk han ih khue ni a poek; a lok loe moithawk pongah naem kue, toe nihcae loe sumsen hoi kami hum hanah oh o coek.
22 Place your burdens on Yahweh, and he will sustain you; he will never allow a righteous person to totter.
Nangmah ih hmuenzit to Angraeng khaeah amtii ah, anih mah na bomh tih; katoeng kami loe natuek naah doeh amtimsak mak ai.
23 But you, God, will bring the wicked down into the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live even half as long as others, but I will trust in you.
Toe Aw Sithaw, nang mah nihcae to tangqom thungah pakhrah tih; athii anghae kami hoi aling thaih kaminawk loe, a hing o haih ahap mataeng doeh hing o mak ai; toe kai loe, nang khaeah ni ka buep han.
