Psalms 109
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Ka pakoeh ih, Aw Sithaw, angam duem hmah;
2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me — A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
kasae kaminawk hoi aling thaih kaminawk mah kai han pakha ang angh o thuih, nihcae loe kai khaeah amsawnlok thuih o.
3 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
Hnukmahaih loknawk hoiah kai ang takui o; takung om ai ah kai ang tuk o.
4 For my love they oppose me, and I — prayer!
Kai ih amlunghaih to misa ah a poek o lat; toe kai loe lawkthuihaih hoiah ni ka oh.
5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
Nihcae mah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o moe, kai ih amlunghaih to a hnukma o.
6 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
To baktih kami nuiah kasae kami to suem pae ah, Setan loe a bantang bangah angdoe pae nasoe.
7 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
Anih loe lokcaek naah sung nasoe loe, lawk a thuihaih to zaehaih ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
8 His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
A hinghaih aninawk tamsi pae nasoe loe, minawk kalah mah anih angdoethaih ahmuen to la pae ving nasoe.
9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Anih ih caanawk loe ampa tawn ai ah om o nasoe loe, a zu loe lamhmai ah om nasoe.
10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
A caanawk loe ahmuen kruekah amhet hoiah ban patueng o nasoe; kamro a oh o haih im hoiah tacawt o nasoe loe, caaknaek to pakrong o nasoe.
11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
A tawnh ih hmuennawk to hmuenmae coi han paek kami mah la pae boih nasoe; a toksakhaih atho doeh minawk kalah mah lomh pae ving nasoe.
12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
Mi mah doeh anih nuiah tahmenhaih tawn hmah nasoe; ampa tawn ai nawktanawk doeh tahmen o hmah nasoe.
13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
Anih ih caanawk loe anghma angtaa o nasoe; angzo han koi adungah doeh nihcae ih ahmin to phrae o boih nasoe.
14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
Ampanawk sakpazaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng poe nasoe; amno zaehaih to anghma pae hmah nasoe.
15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
Nihcae panoekhaih long hoiah tahmat pae ving hanah, nihcae zaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah om poe nasoe.
16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart — to slay,
Anih loe palungnathaih amtuengsak hanah poek ai, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, palungboeng kaminawk doeh a hum.
17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
Anih loe tangoenghaih to palung pongah, tangoenghaih to anih nuiah krah nasoe; tahamhoihaih koeh ai pongah, tahamhoihaih loe anih khae hoi kangthla ah om nasoe.
18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
Anih mah loksae to kahni baktiah angkhuk pongah, a zok thungah tui baktih, ahuhnawk thungah situi baktiah akun pae nasoe.
19 It is to him as apparel — he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
Angmah angkhuk ih kahni baktih, kaengah angzaeng poe ih kazii baktiah, a nuiah om pae nasoe.
20 This [is] the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
Kai kasaethui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah hae hae tangqum ah paek nasoe.
21 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me.
Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na sah paeh; na palungnathaih loe hoih pongah, na pahlong ah.
22 For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
Kai loe kam tang, ka tak thung ih palung loe ahma caak boeh.
23 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
Kai loe duembang ih tahlip baktiah ka zaem tathuk boeh; pakhuh baktiah ahnuk ahma kang thuih.
24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
Buhzah pongah ka khokkhunawk hae cak ai boeh; ka taksa doeh zaek keng boeh.
25 And I — I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
Minawk kasaethuih han ih ni ka oh boeh moe, nihcae mah kai ang khet o naah lu ang haek o thuih.
26 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na bom ah; na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah,
27 And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.
hae loe na ban ni; Angraeng, nang mah ni na sak, tiah panoek o nasoe.
28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
Nihcae loe tangoeng o, toe nang loe tahamhoihaih paek ah; nihcae angthawk o naah, azat o nasoe; toe na tamna loe anghoe nasoe.
29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe [is] their shame.
Ka misanawk loe azathaih to kahni baktiah angkhuk o nasoe, kahni hoi khuk ih baktiah, mikhmai sethaih to angkhuk o nasoe.
30 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,
Ka pakha hoiah Angraeng to ka pakoeh parai boeh; ue, pop parai salakah anih to ka pakoeh han.
31 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
Zaehaih net kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk ih hinghaih pahlong hanah, anih loe amtang kaminawk ih bantang bangah angdoet.
