La Bu 54

1 O Pathen thaneitah in hung’in lang neihuhdoh in! Na thahatnan nei veng’in.

For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

2 O Pathen ka taona ngaijin, ka thumna hi neihin gelkhoh peh’in,

O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

3 Ajeh chu gamdang mite’n eihin delkhum uvin, mi engse ten tha ding’in eihol’un ahi, amahon Pathen imachan agel pouve.

For strangers have risen up against me, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

4 Ahinlah kei ding’in Pathen hi eipanpi ahin, Pakai hin eihinghoi ahi.

For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

5 Ka galmi ten thilse agon jouse’u hi amaho chung ma ma ah chuhen! Na dei dan dan’in achung'uva na tong’in lang amaho khu subei in.

He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

6 Keiman naheng a kiphal tah in thilpeh hinchoi ing e; Keiman namin hinthang vah ing kate Pakai, ajeh chu hichu apha ahi.

I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord; for [it is] good.

7 Ajeh chu Pakai nang’in ka hesohna a kon’in neihuhdoh tan, ka galmite chung’a jong galjona neimusah tan ahi.

For thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
