Psalms 55
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
[Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai] Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lamtah ka lungmacil te rhael boeh.
2 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Kai taengah hnatung lamtah kai n'doo dae. Ka kohuetnah neh ka van tih ka pang ka ngawl.
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
Halang kah phaepnah hman ah thunkha kah ol loh kai sola boethae han sop uh tih thintoek neh kai taengah a konaeh uh.
4 My heart is severely pained within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Ka ko khuiah ka lungbuei loh phat tih dueknah mueirhih loh kai m'vuei khoep.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Kai taengah rhihnah neh thuennah halo tih, tuennah loh kai n'thing.
6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! [for then] I would fly away, and be at rest.
Te vaengah, “U long nim kai ham vahui bangla ka phae han khueh koinih ka ding vetih kho ka sak sue,” ka ti.
7 Lo, [then] I would wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. (Selah)
Yaoe A hla la ka cet sui tih, khosoek ah ka rhaehba mai lah sue. (Selah)
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.
Kai taengkah khohli khui lamloh, hlipuei a tloh khui lamloh kuepkolnah la ka tawn uh sue.
9 Destroy, O LORD, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Ka Boeipa aw amih ol te haeh saeh lamtah dolh saeh, khopuei ah kuthlahnah neh tuituknah ni ka hmuh.
10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.
Khoyin khothaih vongtung taengah vikvuek uh tih a ko khuiah boethae neh thakthaenah om.
11 Wickedness [is] in the midst of it: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Talnah loh a ko khuiah om tih, hnaephnapnah neh thailatnah loh toltung lamkah nong voelpawh.
12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] magnified [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
Kai aka veet he ka thunkha moenih, anih koinih ka phueih pawn ni. Kai taengah aka pomsang uh te ka lunguet moenih. Te koinih anih taeng lamloh ka thuh tak ni.
13 But [it was] thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
Tedae ka boeihlum neh ka thanat la ka hmaiben hlanghing khaw namah ni.
14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked to the house of God in company.
Baecenol neh tun ka tui uh tih, rhoihui neh Pathen im la ka cet uh coeng.
15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. (Sheol h7585)
Amih ko khuiah khaw, a lampahnah ah khaw thae uh. Te dongah amih te dueknah loh dueknah neh phae saeh lamtah, a hingnah te saelkhui la suntla uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call upon God: and the LORD will save me.
Pathen te kai loh ka khue tih BOEIPA loh kai n'khang.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he will hear my voice.
Hlaem, mincang neh khothun ah ka lolmang tih ka ko vaengah ka ol han yaak.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me.
Kai taengkah aka om rhoek he a yet dongah ka hinglu he caemrhal lamkah sading la n'lat.
19 God will hear and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
Hlamat lamkah kho aka sa Pathen loh a yaak vetih amih te a phaep ni. (Selah) Amih taengah thovaelnah a om pawt bangla Pathen khaw rhih uh pawh.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
A ngaimongnah taengah a kut a hlah tih, a paipi a poeih.
21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords.
A ka te maehtha bangla hnal dae a lungbuei tah caemrhal la om. A olka te situi lakah yaai dae tumca a muk uh.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Na thinrhih te BOEIPA taengah hal lamtah amah loh nang n'cangbam bitni. Aka dueng te kumhal ah bung sak mahpawh.
23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
Tedae Pathen nang loh pocinah rhom khuila amih te na hlak ni. Hlang thii aka ngaih neh hlangthai palat kah khohnin te paekboe pah pawtnim? Kai long tah nang dongah ka pangtung ni.
