Psalms 35
1 By David. Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
O Pakai, eidou ho hi nangin kidoupin, ei kisatpi ho jong nangin kisatpin.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Nalum leh naumpho hin kipat in. Galmun a din kigon lang neihung kithopin.
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Eihin delkhum ho dounan natengcha leh nateng muh chu hin lam tan. “keiman gal kajopeh ding nahi!” ti neijah sah tan.
4 Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Eithat goho chunga hin jumnale jachatna lhun sah in, eigimbol a eisumang go hohi jumson lang nungno jeng tan.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, Yahweh’s angel driving them on.
Huilah a changvai alenmang bangin lenmang sah in, Pakaija kon a vantil banga hung chu semmang sah in.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, Yahweh’s angel pursuing them.
Alam u thimsah inlang lhonalsah in, Pakai vantil chun nungdel peh u hen.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
Keiman amaho kabol sepoi, ahin amahon kei matna dingin kotong eilai khum un ahi! Ken amaho kabol sepoi ahin amahon keimat nadin kotong alai uve.
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
Hijeh chun amaho chunga hetman louvin mathahna hunglhung hen! Kei ona dia asem u kotong chu amaho manthahna hijo tahen.
9 My soul shall be joyful in Yahweh. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Chuteng keima Pakai akakipa ding ahi. Eilhatdoh jeh a keima kipa thanom ding kahi.
10 All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
Katahsa chunga kagu kachang jouse pum a Pakaikathangvah ding ahi: “Pakai koiham nangtoh kitekah theiding? Koidang ba ham mihatpa thaneina a kona panpi beipa huhdoh a chu?”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.
Engbolna dih louvin eithemmo sah un. Kahetphahlou jouthu a monna eikichan e.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
Amahon kathil phabol jengjong thilsen eile thuh un lung lhahnan kangui heltai.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
Ahijeng vang'in amahon anat tenguleh keiman amaho kalainatpi jin khaodip pon kakisil in anngol in amaho kataopeh jin ahi. Hinla kataona donbut louvin ahung kinung le jitai.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
Kagolpha le insung mi mong monga kagel jeh in kalungkham pin, eihinga kanu kalainatpi bang bangin kalainat pijin ahi.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
Hinlah ken tunia boina katophat in amaho akipah un keidounan thanom tah in akiloi khomun, hiti chun kahetkhahlou miho kisan in tujeng in jong eino khum un; phattin in eihouse jing jengun ahi.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Amahon einuisat un eitam seovin noise tah in eihagel khum un ahi.
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
O Pakai itih changei pi neivet a donlouva neikoi ding hitam?
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
Chutengleh houbung mipite theng te lah kipathu kahin seiding ahi. Mipi ho jouse masanga nangma kahin thangvah ding ahi.
19 Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
Kajolel nachung a hin eidou te kipa thanop sah hih beh in. Kamuiset nachung in jong ajeh bei a eivetda ho kitai sah hih beh in.
20 For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Amahon chamna thu aseipouvin, amahon thepmona neilou atoh dingdol bep tongho dounan thilse agong jingun ahi.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
“Aha! Aha! ipi bol kigo nahi kamit tah'un kamudoh taove!” tin asm uve.
22 You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.
O Pakai nangin hicheghi namusoh kei in nahesoh e, donlouvin koihih beh in O pakai. neidalha hihbeh in O Pakai.
23 Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
Hungthoudoh in! eihuhdoh dingin hung dingdoh jengtan! KaPakai le kaPathen kachung thuhi neitan peh in.
24 Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.
O Pakai ka Pathen kamo louna neiphon doh peh tan, ajeh chu nangma thudih'a thutan nahi. Kaboina chung chon a kadougal te nuisat in neium sah hih beh in.
25 Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
“Veovin itup uchu imutaove! Tua hi ahingsan a inehchai diu ahitai!” tisah hihbeb in.
26 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
Kahahsatna nikhoa kipah ho sujum inlang jachat sah in. Kachunga hanla samhohi jumnaleh minsetnan lhuh khumin.
27 Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
Ahin koi hileh keima ei huhdia hung ho jouse chu kipanalentah pen. “Pakai aloupi e aman asoh hi lunglhai tah in phatthei aboh in lungmon na apei!” tin tanglouvin samjingu hen.
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
Chuteng keiman nathutan adihji samphong ingting niseh a nangma kavahchoi ding ahi.
