Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk; ityk awh awm chah qai koeh ni huh sak.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
Na dyngnaak ing ni boem nawhtaw ni hul lah; kai benna nang haa hawi law nawhtaw ni hul lah.
3 Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
Ka cehnaak loet aham kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh; kai hul aham awi pe lah, kawtih nang taw ka lungnu ingkaw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
AW ka Khawsa, thlak thawlhkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak tlung am tunaak awhkawng ni hul lah.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
Aw Boeimang Bawipa, nang taw kang ngaih-unaak kung na awm hyk ti, ka tawng plang awhkawng ka ypnaak na awm hawh hyk ti.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
Ka thang plek ca awhkawng ni nang awh kang hang qu hawh hy; nang ing ka nu puk khui awhkawng nik dawk hyk ti. Nang ve ang loet na nim kyihcah vang.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
Thlang khawzah ang ngaihkyi naak na awm nyng. Cehlai, nang taw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
Kam kha ve nang kyihcahnaak ing be nawh, khawnghi zung na boeimangnaak ce kqawn hy.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
Ka pacawng awh ce nang ing koeh ni qoek sut; kak tha a boeih awh ce koeh ni qoeng sut.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Ikawtih, ka qaalkhqi ing kai ama ni ngaihnaak awi kqawn unawh; kai him aham anik qehkhqi mi kut oet na hqui qu uhy.
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
Cekkhqi ing, Khawsa ing qoek hawh hy; hquut u nawhtaw tu uh, u ingawm am hul tang ti kaw,” ti uhy.
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
Aw Khawsa, ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak: Aw ka Khawsa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Kai thawlh anik pukkhqi ce chahqai phyi u seitaw, kai a thawlh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kqawn setnaak ingkaw kaw boetnaak ing sing khqi khoep seh nyng.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
Cehlai, kai ingtaw ngaih-unaak ta loet nyng; nang ce nim kyihcah khqoet khqoet kawng nyng.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Kam kha ing nang a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawmsaw, a nyhtahnaak am sim hqawh bai nyng seiawm, na hulnaak ce myngawi na kqawn kawng.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, law nyng saw nang ak thaawm ik-oeih saikhqi ce khypyi kawng nyng; nang a koe, nang doeng a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawng nyng.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
Aw Khawsa, ka tawng plang awhkawng nang ing ni cawngpyi tiksaw, tuhngawi dy awh nang a kawpoek kyi ik-oeih saikhqi ce kqawn nyng,
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
Hang pacawng nawh ka lusam kqawk hawh seiawm, Aw Khawsa, nak thaawmnaak ce ak law hly cadilkhqi ingkaw ak law hly thlangkhqi venawh kak kqawn hlan dy, nang ing koeh ni qoek sut.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
Aw Khawsa, ik-oeih bau soeih ak saikung, na dyngnaak ing khawnghi hak pha hy, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai?
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
Kyinaak khawzah papa ingkaw ak kha soeih khawzah na ni huh sak hawh hlai hyk ti, ka hqingnaak ve ni pe tlaih kawp ti, dek a dungnaak a hun awhkawng ni hak dawk tlaih kawp ti.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
Ka thangleeknaak pung law sak kawm tiksaw ni ngaih ding law sak tlaih bai kawp ti.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
Aw ka Khawsa, na ypawmnaak awh nang ce tingtoeng ing nim kyihcah kawng nyng saw; Aw Israel a thlak ciim, qaw tingtoeng tum doena nang kyihcahnaak laa ce sa vang.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
Nang kyihcahnaak laa ka sak awh ce ka hui ve zeel doena khy kaw. Kai ve nang ing ni, nani hul hy.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Kam lai ing nang a ik-oeih sai ak dyng ce khawnghi zung kqawn kaw, kawtih kai tlawh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce chahqai phyi unawh ngaihang tumna awm hawh uhy.
