La Bu 35
1 O Pakai, eidou ho hi nangin kidoupin, ei kisatpi ho jong nangin kisatpin.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
2 Nalum leh naumpho hin kipat in. Galmun a din kigon lang neihung kithopin.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
3 Eihin delkhum ho dounan natengcha leh nateng muh chu hin lam tan. “keiman gal kajopeh ding nahi!” ti neijah sah tan.
Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Eithat goho chunga hin jumnale jachatna lhun sah in, eigimbol a eisumang go hohi jumson lang nungno jeng tan.
Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5 Huilah a changvai alenmang bangin lenmang sah in, Pakaija kon a vantil banga hung chu semmang sah in.
Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
6 Alam u thimsah inlang lhonalsah in, Pakai vantil chun nungdel peh u hen.
Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
7 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.
For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
8 Hijeh chun amaho chunga hetman louvin mathahna hunglhung hen! Kei ona dia asem u kotong chu amaho manthahna hijo tahen.
Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
9 Chuteng keima Pakai akakipa ding ahi. Eilhatdoh jeh a keima kipa thanom ding kahi.
But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
10 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?”
All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
11 Engbolna dih louvin eithemmo sah un. Kahetphahlou jouthu a monna eikichan e.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
12 Amahon kathil phabol jengjong thilsen eile thuh un lung lhahnan kangui heltai.
They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
13 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.
But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
14 Kagolpha le insung mi mong monga kagel jeh in kalungkham pin, eihinga kanu kalainatpi bang bangin kalainat pijin ahi.
I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
15 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.
Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
16 Amahon einuisat un eitam seovin noise tah in eihagel khum un ahi.
They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
17 O Pakai itih changei pi neivet a donlouva neikoi ding hitam?
O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
18 Chutengleh houbung mipite theng te lah kipathu kahin seiding ahi. Mipi ho jouse masanga nangma kahin thangvah ding ahi.
I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.
19 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.
Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
20 Amahon chamna thu aseipouvin, amahon thepmona neilou atoh dingdol bep tongho dounan thilse agong jingun ahi.
For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
21 “Aha! Aha! ipi bol kigo nahi kamit tah'un kamudoh taove!” tin asm uve.
And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
22 O Pakai nangin hicheghi namusoh kei in nahesoh e, donlouvin koihih beh in O pakai. neidalha hihbeh in O Pakai.
Thou hast seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [thyself] from me.
23 Hungthoudoh in! eihuhdoh dingin hung dingdoh jengtan! KaPakai le kaPathen kachung thuhi neitan peh in.
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 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.
Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
25 “Veovin itup uchu imutaove! Tua hi ahingsan a inehchai diu ahitai!” tisah hihbeb in.
Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
26 Kahahsatna nikhoa kipah ho sujum inlang jachat sah in. Kachunga hanla samhohi jumnaleh minsetnan lhuh khumin.
Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
27 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.
Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
28 Chuteng keiman nathutan adihji samphong ingting niseh a nangma kavahchoi ding ahi.
And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, [and] on thy praise all the day.
