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.
Aw Bawipa, kai anik eek thlangkhqi ce nang ing mele sih nawhtaw; kai anik tukkhqi ce nang ing tuk lah.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Phura ingkaw kqang dahnaak ce lo lah; tho nawh kai bawm aham law 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 anik hquutkhqi haiawh cai thlek pek khqi nawh mam khqi khoep lah, Ka hqingnaak venawh, “Kai taw nang a hulnaak ni,” tina lah.
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 hqingnaak hqe aham ak suikhqi ce amik kaw boet seitaw chah phyi u seh; kai plawci sak aham amik za qukhqi ce kqih doe ing huna voei tlaih u seh.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them].
Zilh ing a zawn canghi amyihna awm u seitaw, Bawipa a khan ceityih khqi ing cekkhqi ce ak chang na hquut u seh;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
A cehnaak lam ce hyp pe seitaw hal pe seh, Bawipa ak khan ceityihkhqi ing cekkhqi ce hquut seh.
7 For without cause they have hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
Ikaw am mai awh kang awhnaak aham lawk zan unawh kai aham lawk-kqawng co law uhy,
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.
poek kaana cekkhqik khan awh seetnaak ing pha tawk qat seh a mimah ing ami zan lawk awh a mimah awk nawn u seh, a seetnaak aham a mimah a lawk-kqawng awh tla nawn u seh.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Cawh Bawipa awh ka hqingnaak zeel kawmsaw a hulnaak awh ce kak kaw zeel kaw.
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?
Cawh kang coengnaak boeih boeih ing, “Bawipa, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai? Tha ak awm soeihkhqi anglakawhkawng khawdengkhqi ce nang ing hul hyk ti, a mingmih ak mukkung a kut khui awhkawng khawdengkhqi ingkaw thlang ak voethlauhkhqi ce hul hyk ti,” tinawh kqawn kaw.
11 False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not.
Qeennaak amak ta dyihthing qawlkhqi haina thoeih unawh; am ka sim ik-oeihkhqi ing ni deng uhy.
12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul.
Ik-oeih leek ce ik-oeih che ing ni thung unawh ka hqingnaak ve a sungnaak aham cehta uhy.
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.
Cehlai, cekkhqi ami tlawh awhtaw, kai ingtaw tlamhi byng nawh buh zehnaak ing chung na awm nyng. Kak cykcahnaak hlat na ama awm awh ce,
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother.
ka pyi ingkaw ka koeina amih koep na kqah sih nyng. Ka nu ak thi amyihna kawseet aih awh koep nawh kqap nyng.
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:
Cehlai kangbah awhtaw, cekkhqi ce zeel unawh cun uhy, am ka simkhqi ing ni sawi loet uhy.
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Khawsa kawna amak hu thlang qaihna amik kqawn amyihna, ami ha ni tah sih uhy.
17 LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
Aw Bawipa, ityk dy nu nani toek hly hqoeng? Ka hqingnaak hqe aham ak caikhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, a phuk tlo soeih ka hqingnaak ve samthyynkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people.
Thlangkqeng ang cunnaak awh nang ce ni ym kawng nyng saw; thlangkqeng khawzah anglakawh nang ce ni zoeksang kawng.
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.
Kaw am mai awh ka qaalkhqi ing kawqep doena koeh ni toek u seh; ikaw am mai awh kai anik sawhnaakkhqi ing mik koeh ni hqip sih u seh.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
Cekkhqi ing qoepnaak awi kqawn kaana, qam khuiawh a ding a syk na ak awmkhqi ce thainaak aham qaai puk uhy.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
Ni aang sih unawh, “A ha! A ha! Ni mik qoe ing ni hu hawh saw ve,” ni tina uhy.
22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
Bawipa vekkhqi ve na huh hawh dawngawh; koeh ni awm taak poek poek lah. Bawipa ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak lah.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my LORD.
Kai hul aham hqyng nawhtaw, dyi lah! Ka Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa, kang zyng na cekkhqi mi noek qu lah uh.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, na dyngnaak ak caming awi tlyk law lah; cekkhqi mi koeh ni kqep sih seh.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Cekkhqi ce, ce pai seh, vemyihna maw ni ngaih qoe pai,” ce am awhtaw, “Amah taw nik daih koe noek,” tinawh koeh poek sak.
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.
Kak kawseetnaak awh kaw anik qep sihkhqi ce chah phyi u seitaw ngaih kyinaak hu u seh; kak khan awh ak zoeksang qu plakkhqi ce chahnaak ingkaw ngaih kyinaak ing sing khoep seh nyng.
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.
Ka dyngnaak awh ak zeel thlangkhqi taw awmhly doena khy useh; cekkhqi ing, “A tyihzawih a ik-oeih leek ak ym, Bawipa taw zoeksang na awm seh,” ti phat u seh nyng.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.
Kam lai ing nang a dyngnaak awi kqawn kawmsaw hypoet pyr awh na kyihcahnaak awi kqawn kaw.
