La Bu 40

1 Panpi ding ngai in Pakai chu lungneng tah in kangai jing e, aman kahenglam ahin ngan kataona eisanpih tai.

I WAITED patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 Aman lunglhah nathei kotong a kon in eikai doh in, buol sung a buon ngan lah a kon in eikai doh in tolgo chung a eidin sah in kakal sonna jong eisuh dih pih e.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3 Kasah ding lathah khat eipen, I Pathen u vahchoi na ding lakhat eipen ahi. Mitamtah in ana toh hinmu vin tin adatmo ding u ahi. Hitia chu amahon pakai chu atah san diu ahi.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

4 O pakai tahsan na a ding det ho iti akipah tadiuvem, amahon mikiletsah ho chung a tahsan na anei pouvin ahilouleh semthu pathen limhou ho jong atahsan pouve.

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 O Pakai ka Pathen nangin keiho ding in thil kidang tah tah neibolpeh taove. Neigon peh u thilho hi simjou sutjou hoi ahipoi. Nangto kibang ding koima cha aum poi. Na kidang natoh doh ho hi sim ding kagon, achaina gei kalhun lou ding kahei.

Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 Nangman pumgo thilto ho a hin kipana nanei poi. Nei ngaisah thuho chu tun kahechen tai, nangin chonset thoidam na thilto leh pumgo thilto jong nangeh poi.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7 Hichun keiman kaseijin, “Ven keima kahung e. Pathen lekhabu a kisun bang in:

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

8 Nangma lungdei lam bolding hi katha anop na ahi, O Pathen, ajeh chu kalung sung a nangma danthu hohi akisun lut tai.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

9 Namite jouse lah a nathutan dih je hi kaphongdoh tai. O het themna nei Pakai, nangma bang in kichaloubeh in kasei doh tai.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

10 Nadih jedan kipana thuphahi keiman kachang a din kalungthim a selguh in kakoi poi; Nakitah na le nami huhhing na thu kasei e. Nahoubung mithengte lah a namingai lut na long lou le nakitah na chu tanglou in kasei phong jinge.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11 Pakai nangin tanglou vin neingailu jing jeng in. Nangailut nale nakitahna chu neihoi bit jing sah in.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 Boinan eibom in sim a simjou hoi ahipoi! Kachonsetna akikhol sang in kalampi jong kamu thei tapoi. Kalujang a kasam sangin atamjo tan hansan na him him kanei jou tapoi.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

13 Pakai lungsettah in neihuhdoh in! hung vah'in Pakai neipanpin.

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Eisumang gohohi jumson lang kisuhboi sah in, kahahsat nikho a kipah ho lungdong in nungjam sah in.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 “Aha tun akimaikhah tai” tia asei jeh un, jum nan kichao hen.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Nangkom hinbel jouse kipa nale thanop nan dimset uhen. Nami huhhing na kipapi hochun “Pakai chu aloupi e” tin sam jingo hen.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

17 Keidin vang gentheile vaicha kahi jeh in, Pakai in along sung a eihoi jing hen. Pakai nang chu eikithopi le eihuhhingpu nahi. O ka Pathen khongai sot hih in.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
