Psalms 143
1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
Vo Pakai, kataona ngaijin. Kangeh hi nei ngaipeh teijin! Nangma kitahna le dihna bang in, neidonbut in.
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
Nalhacha hi nei patep hih in chule kachung thujong tan hihbeh in, ajeh chu koima na ang-sunga adih aumpoi.
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
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.
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
Hijeh chun keiman kinepna ding kanei tapon, kalung sung kichatnan adim e.
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
Keiman khanglui nikho chesa ho kageldoh’in, nakhut tenia natohdohsa thil thupi ho kagel jing in ahi.
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
Kakhut tenin nahenglam kasang’in kataovin, Gamgo-in sadoh leuva twi angaichat bang in; keiman nangma kangaichan ahi.
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
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.
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
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.
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
O Pakai, kagal mitea kon’in neihuhdoh in, nahenga kisel dinga hung jamlut kahi bouve.
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
Ka-Pathen nahi, nadeilam bolje neihil in, name khotona lhagao chun dettah’a pan kalah jingna din neipui jing in.
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
O Pakai, namin loupina ding in kahinkho hinghoi teijin. Ajeh chu nakitahna jal’in kahahsatna’a kon in nei puidoh tan.
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
Nami ngailutna longlou chun, kagal mite manthahsan in! Chule nalhacha kahi, eidou ho jouse sumang hel in.
