Psalms 109
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
Kai ing kam kyih, Aw Khawsa, awi myhna koeh awm hqoeng,
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!
kawtih thlakchekhqi ingkaw thlak thaikhqi ing amim kha ni ang sih khqi nawh; ami qaai ce kqawn uhy.
3 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
Sawhnaak awi ing nik chung khqi nawh, akawng a awm kaana ni tuk khqi hy.
4 For my love they oppose me, and I — prayer!
Ka pyi na ka taaknaak ce thawlh puknaak na haw law na uhy, cehlai kai taw ak cykcah thlang na awm nyng.
5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
A leek ce ak che ing thung law unawh, pyi na ka taaknaak cesawhnaak ing thung law uhy.
6 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
Anih ak oelh aham thlakche ce taak pe tloep; thawlh a pukkung ce ak tang ben awh pha seh.
7 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
Awideng na a awm awh, dawk lo seitaw, ak cykcahnaak ing dawk sak seh.
8 His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
A hqinglu tawi pe seitaw; thlakchang ing hquikung dyih hun ce qawt pe tloep seh.
9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
A cakhqi cadah na awm u seitaw a zukhqi nuhai na awm u seh.
10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
A cakhqi ing kut dun doena van u seitaw; a imqawk awhkawng hqek na awm u seh.
11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
Ik-oeih a capung na ak pukhqi ing a khawhthemkhqi ce lawh pe boeih u seitaw; a bibinaak phu ce khinkhqi ing muk pe bang seh.
12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
U ingawm koeh qeen seitaw pa amak ta naasenkhqi awm koeh qeen u seh.
13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
A cadil naa ce law boet seitaw, ak law hly kawi chawn awhkaw ming khui awhkawng qeng u seh.
14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
Ami pakhqi thawlhnaak ce Bawipa hai awh sim loet na awm seitaw ami nu a thawlhnaak ce koeh qeng voel seh.
15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
Cekkhqi sim loetnaak ce khawmdek awh a law boetnaak aham a mingmih a thawlhnaak ce Bawipa haiawh awm loet seh.
16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart — to slay,
Ikawtih qeennaak tive poek awm ap poek qoe qoe hy, khawdeng ak voet hlauhkhqi ingkaw kawlung ak kqekkhqi ce him aham hqut hy.
17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
Lihoei ce lungna hy – amah ak khan awh tla tloep seh; thlang a zoseennaak awh ak kaw am law hy – zoseennaak ce anih a venawh kawng ak hla na awm lawt seh.
18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
Lihoei ce hi na bai nawh; a pum khuiawh tui amyihna kun pehy.
19 It is to him as apparel — he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
Ce ing angki amyihna zawl khak seitaw cawi pinnaak amyihna kumqui dy pin seh.
20 This [is] the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi ingkaw, kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi a venawh Bawipa ing ve ve thaphu na pe seh.
21 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me.
Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Khawsa, nang ing nang ming ak caming ak leek na ni sai nawh; na lungnaak ak leek ak caming ni hul lah.
22 For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
Khawdeng ingkaw voethlauh thlang na awm nyng saw, kak kawk khuiawh ak lingbyi ing ngawha ai hy.
23 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
Khawmy ben awhkaw khawngkawn amyihna nung thoeih hawh nyng saw; khamkhawk amyihna tlai let let nyng.
24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
Buh ka hyhnaak awh kam khawkhlu qawi am cak voel hy; kang sak boeih qep qep nawh a tankqat na awm hqoeng nyng.
25 And I — I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
Thawlh anik puk khqi ak kqawnseet aham awm kqoeng nyng saw; a mini huh awh ami lu hil uhy.
26 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni hul lah; na lungnaak ak caming ni hul cang lah.
27 And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.
Ve ve nang a kut ni tice sim sak nawh, Aw Bawipa, nang ing ni na sai tice sim sak lah.
28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
Cekkhqi ing khawseet hly hlai uhy, nang ingtaw zoseen pe hyk ti; cekkhqi ing ami tuk awh chah phyi kawm uh, cehlai nang a tyihzawih taw zeel kaw.
29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe [is] their shame.
Kai thawlh anik puk khqi taw ming seetnaak ce hi amyihna bai kawm u saw chahnaak ing angki amyihna zawl qu khoep kawm uh.
30 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,
Kam kha ing Bawipa ce khawzah na zoeksang kawng nyng saw; thlang kqeng khawzah anglakawh amah kyihcah kawng nyng.
31 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
Ikawtih anik palh sak khqi a venawh kawng anih a hqingnaak ce hul peek aham anih taw ak voethlauhkhqi ak tang ben awh dyi hy.
