< Psalms 17 >

1 A Prayer by David. Hear, LORD, my righteous plea. Give ear to my prayer that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
O Yahweh Pakai adih thumna a kaka ogin hi nei jahpeh in, katao nahi nei ngaipeh in, lungthengsel le dih tah katao ahi.
2 Let my sentence come out of your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
Kathem chan na neiphondoh peh'in, ajeh chu nangin thudih a natong namuchet ahi.
3 You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
Nangin kalunggel ho napatep jin, janteng jongle kalungsung navelhaji. Nangin kapum changin neivechillin kathepmo na namupoi; kakamsung jenga jong set na potlou ding ahitai.
4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
Keiman nathupeh Dan dungjuiin, migilou ho le mi-engseho ho khonung kajui ji poi.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
Kakalson dan hin nalampi kajui jingin nangma lampia konnin kapotdoh pon ahi.
6 I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
Keima nangma komma taova kahi ajeh chu O Elohim Pathen nangin neisanpeh teiding kahei. Kataona hi lunglut tah'in neingaipeh in.
7 Show your marvellous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
Nami ngailutna longlou chu kidangtah in neimusah'in, agalmitea konna hoidohna ngaichaho chu nathahatna gimneitah chun nahuh doh ji e.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
Nangman namit teni na chintup jing bangin keima jong nei vesuijin. Nalhaving limnoija chun neisellin.
9 from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
Kavel a eidoujing migilouho a kon in eivengtup in, eithatgo kamelma hoa konnin nei huhdoh in.
10 They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
Amahohi mi khotona bei ahiuvin akiletsah nao thucheng chu ngaitan!
11 They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
Amahon eihin juilutnun eiumkimvel uvin tola selhuh dingin agomkom ahol un ahi.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Anehding changlhih le keipi bahkai hangtah bang le keipinou vin gamthip lai matding avetlhih le tobang ahiuve.
13 Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
Hung kipat tan O Yahweh Pakai kidintepin lang seplhu jengin! Nachemjammin migilouhoa konnin neihuhdoh in.
14 from men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
O Yahweh Pakai naban thathatnin vannoia ama phatchomna ngaito hohi sumangin. Amavang nangma goulu hohi nangman vah va jing in. Achateu neijong suhnengpeh inlang ason apahteu goulo ding geija adalhah peh theina diuvin gontoh peh'in.
15 As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
Monabeija hinkho Kaman jeh a namel kamu teiding ahi. Kathodoh tengleh nangma toh kimaitoa ikimuto ding chule kalungnachim tante.
