Psalms 140
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, Yahweh, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in, pumhat-a natong hoa kon'in neihoidohsah'in,
2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
ajeh chu alung sung'uva thilse jeng agong un, beitih um louvin gal abol jiuvin ahi.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Alei gui-u gul in mi achuh bang in amang chauvin, athuseidoh jouseu jong gul-gu tobang ahi.
4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou ho khutna kon hin neihoidoh in, pumhatna natong hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in; ajeh chu kakipal lhuhna din thisle jeng agong un ahi.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. (Selah)
Mi kiletsah hon kei matna din thang akam un, khao ajan-doh'un lampi dunga thang ei-kampeh'un ahi.
6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai kom'a, “Nangma hi ka Pathen Elohim nahi!” O Yahweh Pakai, khotona dinga kataona nei sanpeh tan.
7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, athahat pan-a eihuhdoh pa; nangman gal kisat nikhoa nei huhdoh ahi.
8 Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (Selah)
Yahweh Pakai, migilouho adei bang'in chesah hih'in, athilse gonhou chu lolhin sahhih'in; achuti louva ahileh kiletsahna dim diu ahi.
9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Kagal miten kachunga thil phalou tohgon anei jal un, manthah nan lhung u-hen.
10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
Meiam kong chu alu chunguvah chuhsah'in, meilah'a seplut in; ahilouleh ajamdoh louna diu twiveina kotong'ah lhalut jeng u-hen.
11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Ka gamsung uva hin ajou jouva mihehse ho khantousah hihbeh'in, pumhat'a natong ho achunguva thilse chuhsah'in lang sumang in.
12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
Hinlah suhgentheija umte Yahweh Pakai in asumil poi, ti kahen; Aman vaichate thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi, ti kahei.
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
Tahbeh'in mi kitah hon namin athangvah diu, chule michonpha ho na kom'a cheng diu ahi.
