< Psalms 142 >
1 Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave. I cried to the LORD with my voice; with my voice to the LORD I made my supplication.
Keima Yahweh Pakai henga kataovin, Yahweh Pakai henga khotona kathum in ahi.
2 I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him my trouble.
Keima Yahweh Pakai ang-sunga kakiphin in, kahahsatna jouse jong kaphongdoh'in.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way in which I walked have they secretly laid a snare for me.
Kalhagao alam vai jitan, hinlah Yahweh Pakai nangbou nahi kachena ding lampi ei-hil ji. Kajotna lam'a chun ei-douten thang eikam peh jiuvin ahi.
4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
Keiman mikhat tou hunga eipanpi ding kangaichat lai jin, koiman amitsih jenga jong eive poi! Koimacha eikithopi ding aumpoi, kachunga thilsoh koiman imachan eigelpeh poi.
5 I cried to thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
O Yahweh Pakai, keima na henga kataovin, “Nangma hi kakiselna nahi, kahinkhoa kangaichat pen nang bou nahi,” kati.
6 Attend to my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
Kataona hi nei ngaipeh teijin, ei-kisunem behseh jeng tai! Ei-bolgenthei hoa kon'in neihuhdoh tan, ajeh chu amaho keisang in ahatval jeng tauve.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall surround me; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
Songkul'a kon'in neihuhdoh loijin, chutileh nangma kathangvah thei ding ahi. Lolhing tah'a neibol jeh'a kajet le kaveija mikitah dim lha diu ahi.
