Tingtoeng 41

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Yoethaenah hnin ah tattloel te aka cangbam tah a yoethen. Anih te BOEIPA loh a loeih sak.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. The LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.

2 BOEIPA loh anih te a dawndah vetih a hlun ni. Khohmuen nen khaw uem la uem vetih, a thunkha kah hinglu la anih te tloeng mahpawh.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

3 BOEIPA loh kolet soengca dongkah te khaw a duel. A thingkong boeih te a tlohtat lamloh na palet bitni.

The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.

4 Kai loh, “BOEIPA, nang taengah ka tholh oeh tih, kai n'rhen lamtah ka hinglu he hoeih sak lah,” ka ti.

I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5 Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai he, “Me vaengah nim a duek vetih a ming a paltham ve,” tila a thae a thui.

My enemies speak evil against me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

6 Hmuh hamla aka pawk boeih tah a lungbuei khaw a poeyoek lam ni a cal. Amah ham boethae a coi tih, vongvoel la a pha neh a thui.

If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 Ka lunguet boeih loh kai he a thae la m'moeh uh dongah kai taengah tun sisuk uh.

All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me.

8 “Anih tah a olka aka muen loh a kap thil tih a yalh atah thoh hamla koei mahpawh.

“An evil disease”, they say, “has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.”

9 Ka ngaimongnah hlang te tah amah dongah ka pangtung dae, ka buh aka ca long ni kai taengah a khodil a taloeh.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 Tedae BOEIPA nang loh kai n'rhen lamtah amih khoboe te thuung ham kai n'thoh lah.

But you, LORD, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 Ka thunkha rhoek te kai soah a yuhui pawt dongah kai taengah na naem te ka ming.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

12 Kai khaw kamah kah thincaknah neh kai nan duel tih kumhal namah hmai ah kai nan khueh.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.

13 Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA tah kumhal lamkah kumhal due a yoethen pai. Amen neh Amen.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen.
