La Bu 143
1 Vo Pakai, kataona ngaijin. Kangeh hi nei ngaipeh teijin! Nangma kitahna le dihna bang in, neidonbut in.
A Psalm by David. Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2 Nalhacha hi nei patep hih in chule kachung thujong tan hihbeh in, ajeh chu koima na ang-sunga adih aumpoi.
Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your 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 pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live 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 your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6 Kakhut tenin nahenglam kasang’in kataovin, Gamgo-in sadoh leuva twi angaichat bang in; keiman nangma kangaichan ahi.
I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (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.
Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t 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 your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9 O Pakai, kagal mitea kon’in neihuhdoh in, nahenga kisel dinga hung jamlut kahi bouve.
Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you 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 your will, for you are my God. Your 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, LORD, for your name’s sake. In your 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.
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
