La Bu 55
1 Vo Pathen ka taona neingaipeh in, panpi ngehna ka taona neigelkhoh peh’in!
GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Lungset tah in ka taona neingaipeh in lang neihin donbut teijin, ajeh chu kagimnan eihin lonvuh tan ahi.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Ka galmite’n eisamseu vin, eigihna’u hi akithong le’u jeng’in ahi. Aman boi na eilhunkhum sah un lunghang tah’in eihin delkhum taove.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 Ka lung aphul lap lap jeng’in thina gimneitah hin eihin nokhum tan ahi.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Tijatna le lunggimna’n eilonvuh tan kithing louvin ka umthei poi.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 Oh, vakhu bang’a lhaving nei hitave leng o keima lengdoh ingting ga kicholdo tang’e!
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Keima gamlatah in lengdoh ingting gamthipnoi olnamun gabel tang’e.
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Hitobang kivetdatona huipi kinunglah a konhin gangtah in gamlatah a jammang tang’e.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9 Pakai amaho hi kisuhmosah in lang athilse gon’u jong hi suhmopeh jeng tan, ajeh chu athilgon’u hin khopi sung’a thilse tamtah asodoh sah ding ahi.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Akulpi bang’u jong galmi’a kon’a hoidohna ding’a asun ajan a anga’u ahi, ahinla akhohpentah chu khopi sung’a chonsetna ho hi ahi.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Thil jouse hi asegam’a ahitai, kailhang jeng’a jong kigihna le kijoubolna adimlha tan ahi.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 Ka dougal’in eitaitomna jong ahipoi hichu ka doujou thouve, kiletsah tah’a eijumso jing’a ka kidoupipa jong ahipoi, amaho a kon chunk a ki seldoh theinan ahi.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 Amavang hiche ho chu hilouvin, ka kibahpi, ka kivoppi, ka golngai nangma chu na hi.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 Phat khatna chu ichan geija ina kingailut hitam Pathen houin jeng’a jong ina kijotlutji ahime.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15 Ka dougalte hi thina’n lhunkhum hen lhunkhum hen ahing’in vallhum jeng’u henajeh chu setna’n alungsung’u chennan aneitan ahi. (Sheol h7585)
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ahinlah keiman ka Pathen ka kou ding chuleh ka Pakai in eihuhdoh ding ahi.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.
17 Jingkah sun nilhah in ka lung hesoh jeh’in ka kap’in ahileh Pakaiyin ka-o eijahpeh tai.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 Mi tamtah'in eidou jing hen lang, kei douna’n gal kisat chohjeju jeng jongleh Pakai in eilhatdoh’in ol-heuvin eiumsah tai.
He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 Tonsot'a vaihom jing Pathen chun ka taona sang intin ka dougalte asuhnem ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon achondan’u akhelnom pouvin Pathen jong aging pouvin; Pathen jong aging pouve.
God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 Keima kiloipipan vang aloihi alhem lhan akitepna asukeh’in ahi.
He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21 Athu cheng chu thaotwi bang’in analjet in hinlah asung uvin gal lungthim apu’uve. Athu cheng’u thaotwi nang abang’in hinlah asunglang uvah chemjam ngen aum’e.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Na pohgih chu Pakai chung’a seplha tan Aman na ngai jangpeh nante. Aman mi chonpha ho chu akipalsah lou ding lhuh jong alhuhsah lou ding ahi.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Nangvang O Pathen mi ho chu a gilou ho chu lhuh na kokhuh a nasotlhah ding ahi. tolthat ho le jonpan ho jong khangdong cha na thisah ding ahi, hinla keimanvang eihuhing din nang jeng katahsan e.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
