< Psalms 18 >
1 For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, I love you, LORD, my strength.
Keiman nangma kangailui Yahweh Pakai; Nangma hi kathahatna nahi.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Yahweh Pakai hi kasongpi, kakulpi, chuleh eihuhhingpu ahin, Elohim ka Pathen hi kasongpi ahin eiveng tup jing ahi. Amahi kalumdal, eihuhhinga thahat chu ahin, chuleh kahoidohna munpi chu ahi.
3 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
Keiman thangvah dinga lomtah Yahweh Pakai chu kakouvin, aman kamelmatea konnin eihuhdoh'in ahi.
4 The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Thina khoisatna chun eiumkimvel tan, manthahna twipi chun eichup tan ahi.
5 The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me. (Sheol )
Damun lungkhamna chun eiumkimvelin, kalampi a thinan thang akam e. (Sheol )
6 In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
Ka lungkham val phatnin Yahweh Pakai chu kakouvin, Elohim ka Pathen komma chun panpi ngaichan kataovin Aman ahouin thenga konnin kataona asangin ahi.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Hi jouchun leiset akilingin akihot e. Molbul ho jeng jong kihot e ajeh chu Elohim Pathen lunghang a ahi.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
Yahweh Pakai nah hom a meikhu ahung potdoh in, meikou gimneitah akam a konnin ahungkou doh'in chuleh Mei-am al lenglung Ama-a konnin ahung koudoh'in ahi.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Aman vanho chu ahongdoh'in meilom thimletlut chu ahin chotphan ahung kumsuh in,
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
Yahweh Pakai chu vantil pipui khat chunga atouvin, huipi chu alhavingin amangin alengin ahi.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Yahweh Pakai chu muthim in ahung kitom in, meilom twi jingletlut pumin ahung lhungin ahi.
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
Yahweh Pakai vah'in ahintom chu meilom satah'in ahinkhu khum in gelchang le mei-am chu gojuh'in ahung julhan ahi.
13 The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
Yahweh Pakai chu vanna konnin ahung kisen in hatchungnung ogin chu gelchang leh mei-am koulah achun akithongin ahi.
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
Aman athalpi ahin kapmin agalmiho chu athe cheh'in, avah em lahlah chun amaho chu asuboi gamtan ahi.
15 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
O Yahweh Pakai nangin nagalmi ho napho a lunghangtah a nakisen chun twikhanglen ato geijin akikangin, leiset bulpi jouse jong akeuvin aumjie.
16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Aman vanna konnin akhut ahin lhangin eihin kaidoh'in, twipi thuh lah'a kon in jong eikaidoh'in ahi.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Aman kagalmi hattah tah ho a konin eihuh doh in, kasang a hatjo ka dougal hoa kon in eihuhdoh'in ahi.
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Hahsatna kato pettah'in amahon eihin delkhum un ahinlah Yahweh Pakai in eipanpin ahi.
19 He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Aman kahoidohna mun nah eipuilut in eihuhdoh tai ajeh chu ama kipana kahi.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
Yahweh Pakai in thildih kaboljeh in kipaman eipen mona kaneilou jeh'in eikiledohsah tai.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai lampi kajui in, thilse lam jon'in Elohim Pathen'a kon'in kakiheimang poi.
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai chonphatna lampi kajui jingin, a Dan thupeh ho kapaidoh khapoi.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Elohim Pathen masangah nolnabei kahin, chonsetna kon'in kaki kangse jing e.
24 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Yahweh Pakai in thildih kaboljeh in Aman kipaman eipejin ahi. Aman themmonabei kahi amui.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
Mikitah kom'ah nangmatah jong nakitah'in, monabei ho kom'ah monabei nahi.
26 With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
Milungtheng ho kom'ah nalungtheng in ahinlah miphalouho kom'ah nakhohjin ahi.
27 For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
Nangin mikineosah ho nahuhdohjin ahinla mikiletsah ho nasujumjin ahi.
28 For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
Nangin thaomei neidetpeh'in, Yahweh Pakai, Elohim ka Pathen'in kamuthim jong neisalvah peh e.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Nangma hatna chun kagalmi hi neisuhchip peh'in Elohim ka Pathen toh kapankhom poupou leh itobang bang sang hijongleh kakal ngapchan ahi.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
Elohim Pathen lampi chu nolnabei ahi! Yahweh Pakai kitepna jouse alolhing jinge. Amahi ahuhdoh ding ngaicha jouse dinga lum le pho ahi.
31 For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Yahweh Pakai tailou pathen dang um'am? Elohim Pathen tailou songpi det dang um'am?
32 the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
Hiche Elohim Pathen hin eihatdoh sah'in kalampi jong hoibitnapen ahisah ahi.
33 He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
Aman molsang hahsa chung dunga kadindet theina din kakeng jong sakhi keng bang'in atah sah e.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Aman kakhut teni jong galsatna a manthei dingin agongin, kabanjang jong sum-eng thalpi loithei dingin ahatsah'in ahi.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
Nangman nagaljona lum chu neipetan nabanjetnin neipanhun ahi. Neikithopina hin eithupi sah'in ahi.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
Nang man kakeng phang tenin alhonal louna dingin kalampi neikehlet peh'in ahi.
37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
Keiman kagalmite kadel'in kaman'in ahi; amahohi kajo kahsen katangpon ahi.
38 I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
Amahohi ahung ki thodoh jou louna diuvin kasat lhun kakeng noijah akijammun ahi.
39 For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Nangin kagalsatna dingin thahatnan neivon in; Nangman kagalmite chu kakengphang noi a neikoipeh e.
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Nangin angongchang'u neichotpha sah'in eivetda ho jouse chu kasumang sohtan ahi.
41 They cried, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
Amahon panpi athummun koiman ahung huhdoh pouve. Amahon Yahweh Pakai akouvun ahinla Aman adonbut pon ahi.
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Keiman amaho chu huilah a vutvai kithethang bangin tol ah kagoibong sel'in, bonlhoh lah'a kasunat gamatai.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Nangin eihouse jing ho chungah galjona neipetan ahi. Nangin namtin vaipi chungah vaihom'in neipansah tan ahi. Kanahet phahlou miho jeng jong kalhachan ahungpang tauvin ahi.
44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
Kamin ajah jah'un kanoijah alut un gamchommi hojeng jong ka-anga akisunem gamtauvin ahi.
45 The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
Hansanna aneijou tapouvin kithing pumpum'in ka-ang ahinbel tauvin ahi.
46 The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
Yahweh Pakai ahing jinge, kasongpia apanjeh'in kathangvah e! Ka sochatna Elohim ka Pathen chu loupi jing tahen!
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
Amahi eibolse ho lethuh jinga Elohim ka Pathen chu ahin, aman namtin vaipi hi eisuhnem peh'in kanoijah eikoipeh tai.
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
Chuleh kagalmitea konnin eihuhdoh'in nangman kagalmiten aphah joulouna munnah neikoijin, eidouva mi-engse hoa konnin neihoidohsah tan ahi.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, amongst the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Hichejeh hin O Yahweh Pakai namtin vaipi lah'a nathangvah ingkate, na min vahchoinan la sang nge.
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
Nangin leng a natun pa din goljona loupitah chu napetai; Chuleh nathaonupa David leh achilhahte chunga nalungset longlou namusah e.
