Psalms 35
1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kai na ka tarannaw hah, taran van haw. Kai na katuknaw hah tuk van haw.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Taisawm hoi bahling lat nateh, kai kabawp hanelah kangdout haw.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
Tahroe hai patuem nateh, na kapâleinaw hah ngang haw. Ka hringnae koe vah na kaie rungngangnae doeh tie dei haw.
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Ka hringnae la hanelah, kakâcainaw hah kayayeirai hoi awm sak nateh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah yawng sak nateh, lungpout hoi awm sak haw.
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
Kahlî ni vaikong palek e patetlah awm awh naseh. BAWIPA e kalvantami ni koung kahmat lah pâlei naseh.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
Ahnimouh ni a dawn awh e lamthung teh, kahmot e, ka pâhnan e lam lah awm naseh. Hawvah, BAWIPA e kalvantaminaw ni pâlei naseh.
7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a khuekhaw awm laipalah, ka kâman nahanelah arulahoi tamlawk a yap awh toe. A khuekhaw awm laipalah, ka bo nahane tangkom a tai awh.
8 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
Pouk laipalah ahnimouh teh rawk awh naseh. Arulahoi tamlawk a yap awh e dawk amamouh kâman awh naseh. Amamae tangkom dawk amamouh bawt awh naseh.
9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
Ka hringnae heh BAWIPA dawk a lunghawi vaiteh, a rungngangnae dawk a konawm han.
10 All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
Ka hru pueng ni, BAWIPA nang patetlah apimaw kaawm. Ahnimouh hlak a tha kaawmnaw thung hoi mathoenaw hah na rasa. Bokheiyah, mathoe hoi ka voutthoup e hah, ahnimouh karaphoekung thung hoi na rungngang toe, ati awh han.
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Kapanuekkhai kaphawk a tho awh teh, ka panue hoeh e naw hah na pacei awh.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Ka muitha lungmathoe sak nahanelah, hawinae hah thoenae hoi a patho awh.
13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
Hatei, kai niteh, a pataw awh navah, buri ka kâkhu, rawcahai hoi kârahnoum hoi ka o. Hahoi, ka ratoumnae teh ka lungthin koe letlang a ban.
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
Hui hoi hmaunawngha ka khui e patetlah, manu hoi ka khui e patetlah ka kâhlai teh ka tabut.
15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
Hatei, ahnimouh niteh, ka kangduenae a mathoe toteh, konawm laihoi a kamkhueng awh. Na ka tarannaw teh cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, hot hah ka panuek hoeh. Kâhat laipalah, koung na phi awh.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
Cathutlaipa e naw ni, pawibu vennae koe na panuikhai awh teh, a hâkam na kata sin awh.
17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
BAWIPA nâtotouh maw sut na khet han. Raphoe hanlah kâcainae thung hoi na rungngang haw. Sendek koehoi ka hringnae hah hlout sak haw.
18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
Ka lentoe e kamkhuengnae koe, konawmnae lawk hah ka dei vaiteh, tami moikapap hmalah ka pholen han.
19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Laithoehrawnghrang lahoi ka tarannaw ni kai dawk a konawm hanh naseh. A khuekhaw awm laipalah, na kahmuhmanaw ni, na hmaiet hanh naseh.
20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, roumnae lawk hah dei awh hoeh niteh, hete ram taminaw duem ao awh lahunnah, dumnae lawk dueng doeh a dei awh.
21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
A pahni na ang sin awh teh, vehveh, ka mit hoi ka hmu toe ati awh.
22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
Oe BAWIPA, het heh na hmu doeh. Duem awm hanh. Oe BAWIPA, na hlat takhai hanh.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Ka Cathut hoi ka BAWIPA, kai dawk ka phat e lawkceng hane kabawp hanelah, kâhlaw nateh, thaw haw.
24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, na lannae lahoi lawk na ceng pouh haw. Kai dawk a konawm awh nahanh seh.
25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
Ahnimouh ni a lung thung hoi maimae lungngai akuep han toe, koung payawp awh han toe tet awh hanh naseh.
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Ka rucatnae dawk a lungkahawi e naw hah, kayak awh naseh. Kai lathueng kâoupnaw hah kayayeirai hoi awm awh naseh.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
Ka lannae dawk kanawmkhaikung teh, lunghawi hoi la sak naseh. A san dawk a lung ka hawi e BAWIPA teh, pholen lah awm seh telah pou dei awh naseh.
28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
Hahoi, ka lai ni na lannae lawk a dei vaiteh, kanîruirui nang na pholen han.
