La Bu 143
1 Vo Pakai, kataona ngaijin. Kangeh hi nei ngaipeh teijin! Nangma kitahna le dihna bang in, neidonbut in.
Hear my prayer, O Jehovah. Give ear to my supplications. In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 Nalhacha hi nei patep hih in chule kachung thujong tan hihbeh in, ajeh chu koima na ang-sunga adih aumpoi.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant. For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
3 Ajeh chu kagal miten eihin del peh in, kahing chang in tolgoi nan ineijin, lhan khuh-a athisa umho bangin, kada kacham louvin muthim lah’a eiumsah tai.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul. He has smitten my life down to the ground. He has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.
4 Hijeh chun keiman kinepna ding kanei tapon, kalung sung kichatnan adim e.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5 Keiman khanglui nikho chesa ho kageldoh’in, nakhut tenia natohdohsa thil thupi ho kagel jing in ahi.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all thy doings. I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 Kakhut tenin nahenglam kasang’in kataovin, Gamgo-in sadoh leuva twi angaichat bang in; keiman nangma kangaichan ahi.
I spread forth my hands to thee. My soul is as a weary land for thee. (Selah)
7 O Pakai, nei donbut loijin, ajeh chu kahin kho bei pai ding ahitai. Keija kon’in kihei mang hih in, ijeh-inem itileh lhan khuh-a khilutsa kabah ding ahi.
Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.
8 Jingkah sehleh nalungsetna longlou neijahsah in, ajeh chu keima kingaina nangbou nahi. Kalam lhahna jouse neihil them in, kahin kho hi nangma dia kaphal theng ahi.
Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee do I trust. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to thee.
9 O Pakai, kagal mitea kon’in neihuhdoh in, nahenga kisel dinga hung jamlut kahi bouve.
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from my enemies. I flee to thee to hide me.
10 Ka-Pathen nahi, nadeilam bolje neihil in, name khotona lhagao chun dettah’a pan kalah jingna din neipui jing in.
Teach me to do thy will, for thou are my God. Thy Spirit is good, lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 O Pakai, namin loupina ding in kahinkho hinghoi teijin. Ajeh chu nakitahna jal’in kahahsatna’a kon in nei puidoh tan.
Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake. In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Nami ngailutna longlou chun, kagal mite manthahsan in! Chule nalhacha kahi, eidou ho jouse sumang hel in.
And in thy loving kindness cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am thy servant.
