Psalms 142

1 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave. My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I entreat grace.

Keima Yahweh Pakai henga kataovin, Yahweh Pakai henga khotona kathum in ahi.

2 I pour forth before Him my (meditation) My distress before Him I declare.

Keima Yahweh Pakai ang-sunga kakiphin in, kahahsatna jouse jong kaphongdoh'in.

3 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a snare for me.

Kalhagao alam vai jitan, hinlah Yahweh Pakai nangbou nahi kachena ding lampi ei-hil ji. Kajotna lam'a chun ei-douten thang eikam peh jiuvin ahi.

4 Looking on the right hand — and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul.

Keiman mikhat tou hunga eipanpi ding kangaichat lai jin, koiman amitsih jenga jong eive poi! Koimacha eikithopi ding aumpoi, kachunga thilsoh koiman imachan eigelpeh poi.

5 I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'

O Yahweh Pakai, keima na henga kataovin, “Nangma hi kakiselna nahi, kahinkhoa kangaichat pen nang bou nahi,” kati.

6 Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low, Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger than I.

Kataona hi nei ngaipeh teijin, ei-kisunem behseh jeng tai! Ei-bolgenthei hoa kon'in neihuhdoh tan, ajeh chu amaho keisang in ahatval jeng tauve.

7 Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!

Songkul'a kon'in neihuhdoh loijin, chutileh nangma kathangvah thei ding ahi. Lolhing tah'a neibol jeh'a kajet le kaveija mikitah dim lha diu ahi.
