Psalms 55
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw, nang koe kâhei navah na kâhrawk takhai hanh.
2 Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my (meditation) and make a noise,
Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
3 Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw pawlawk hoi, tamikathoutnaw ni repcoungroenae kecu dawk, runae kai dawk a pha sak teh, lungkhuek laihoi na hmuhma awh.
4 My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
5 Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.
Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
6 And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,
Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
7 Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. (Selah)
Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
8 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
Hete kahlî tûilî ka tho e hoi ka hlout nahanlah, karanglah ka yawng han toe telah ka pouk.
9 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
Oe BAWIPA, ahnimae lawk hah a kahma nahanlah, koung kâkapek sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kho thung vah, thamanae hoi lawpnae ka hmu.
10 By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
Karum khodai pout laipalah, rapan dawk hoi a kâhêi awh teh, kho thung vah thoenae hoi runae lah ao awh,
11 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.
Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
12 For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
Kai na ka pathoe e teh ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka pouk thai han ei. Na ka taran ni teh kai na ka hmuhma e hai ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ahni hah ka roun thai han ei.
13 But thou, a man — as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.
Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
14 When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.
Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
15 Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol — alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
16 I — to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.
Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
17 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
18 He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
Kai taranlahoi na tuknae hmuen koehoi, ka hringnae heh karoumcalah a ratang toe. Kai koelah kaawm e teh apap awh.
19 God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
Ayan hoi kangning e Cathut ni a thai teh, ahnimouh hah a khang sak han. (Selah) Ahnimouh teh a kâthung awh hoeh dawkvah, Cathut taket awh hoeh.
20 He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
21 Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
Apâhni hoi a dei awh e lawk teh, maito sanutui kamkak e hlak a pâhnan. Hatei, a lungthung tarankâtuknae ao. A lawk teh satui hlak a nem eiteh, rayu tangcoung e tahloi lah doeh ao.
22 Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
Na hnokari hah BAWIPA dawk patue haw, ama ni na hlai han. Tami kalan rawp hane pasoung hoeh.
23 And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I — I do trust in Thee!
Oe Cathut, alouknaw teh rawknae tangkom dawk koung na pabo han. Tamikathetnaw hoi yuemkamcuhoeh e naw teh, a hringyung tangawn patenghai hring awh mahoeh. Kai teh nang doeh na kâuep han.
