Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
[Oelhtaih vaengkah David kah] Aw BOEIPA, kai aka nen ka lungawn te han nen lah.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Kai bomnah ham photling neh photlinglen te muk lamtah thoo lah.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
Kai aka hloem rhoek te caai neh khoh lamtah sulbung neh ham mah lah. Ka hinglu taengah, “Kai tah nang kah khangnah ni,” ti nah saeh.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
Ka hinglu aka mae rhoek he yahpok saeh lamtah a hmaithae uh saeh. Kai a thae la aka moeh rhoek te a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh lamtah ngam uh saeh.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them].
Khohli dong kah cangkik bangla om uh saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh hawk nawn saeh.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
Amih kah longpuei te hmaisuep neh longhnal la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh amih te hloem saeh.
7 For without cause they have hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
A tloengtlaih van la kai ham lawk a tung uh tih ka hinglu ham vaam a too uh.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
Anih kah a ming mueh la khohli rhamrhael loh kae saeh lamtah lawk a tung te amah man saeh. Anih taengah khohli rhamrhael la tlak thil saeh.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Te vaengah ka hinglu loh BOEIPA ah omngaih vetih amah kah khangnah dongah ngaingaih ni.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, even the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
Ka rhuh ka rhong boeih loh, Mangdaeng te amah lakah tlungluen kut lamkah, mangdaeng neh khodaeng te khaw anih aka rheth kut lamkah “BOEIPA nang bangla aka huul te unim?” ti uh saeh.
11 False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not.
Kuthlahnah kah laipai rhoek te ha tlai uh tih kai loh ka ming mueh te n'dawt uh.
12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul.
Ka hinglu kah polpainah ham a then yueng la boethae neh kai n'thuung uh.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Tedae kai tah amih te tloh a nue vaengah tlamhni ka pueinak nah. Ka hinglu he yaehnah neh ka phaep vaengah ka thangthuinah loh ka kodang la ha bal.
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother.
Paya bangla ka manuca bangla ka ngai. A nu kah rhahdoe cangpoem bangla ka van tih kopang doela lu ka singling.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and assembled themselves: [yes], the abjects assembled themselves against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
Tedae ka cungdonah te ko a khah uh tih tingtun uh. Hlanghaeng rhoek loh ka ming pawt vaengah ka taengah tingtun uh. Kai n'hliphen uh vaengah toeng uh pawh.
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Lailak loh kai he buh bangla tamdaengtamkha neh a no n'tah thil uh.
17 LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
Aw Boeipa, mevaeng hil nim nan sawt sut ve? Ka hinglu he khohli rhamrhael lamloh, ka oingaih cangloeng te sathuengca kut lamloh han doek lah.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people.
Hlangping a yet taengah nang kan uem vetih pilnam rhaengpuei lakli ah nang kan thangthen ni.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
A hong mai khaw ka thunkha rhoek loh kai dongah n'kokhah uh tih a lunglilungla la kai aka hmuhuet loh a mik m'mikhip thil boel saeh.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
Rhoepnah a thui uh mueh la khohmuen he dingsuek tila thailatnah ol te a moeh uh.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
Te dongah kai taengah a ka a ang uh tih, “Ahuei! ahuei! mamih mik loh a hmuh coeng,” a ti uh.
22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
Na hmuh coeng BOEIPA. Na hilphah boeh. Kai taeng lamkah n'lakhla tak boeh ka Boeipa.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my LORD.
Kamah kah tuituknah dongah kai ka tiktamnah ham haenghang lamtah thoo laeh ka Pathen neh ka Boeipa.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Ka BOEIPA Pathen aw, na duengnah neh kai n'tang sak lamtah kai soah a kokhap uh boel saeh.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Amih lungbuei ah, “Ahuei, mamih hinglu soep coeng,” ti uh boel saeh. “Anih n'dolh uh coeng,” ti uh boel saeh.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify [themselves] against me.
Kai kah yoethae aka omngaih puei rhoek te yak uh saeh lamtah a hmai tal uh saeh. Kai soah aka pomsang rhoek te yahpohnah neh mingthae loh khuk saeh.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yes, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Kai kah duengnah aka omtoem rhoek loh tamhoe uh lamtah a kohoe uh saeh. Te dongah a sal kah ngaimongnah aka omtoem “BOEIPA tah pomsang pai saeh,” ti uh yoeyah saeh.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.
Te vaengah na duengnah neh namah koehnah te ka olka loh hnin at puet thuep saeh.
