Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
Aw Bawipa, nang ni ka nik khy; ka venawh ang tawnna law cang. Ka nik khy awh kak awi ve ngai cang lah.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
Kak cykcahnaak ve na haiawh bawktui na awm seitaw; ka kutphyl ve khawmy ben awhkaw lucik nawn amyihna awm seh.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Aw Bawipa, kam kha awh khoemkung ta law nawhtaw; ka hui chawmkeng ve qeh law lah.
4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Kak kawlung ve ik-oeih che benna, thlakchekhqi a ik-oeih sainaak ing amak leek ik-oeih ak sai thlangkhqi benna koeh hawi law; a mingmih a buh a an tui awm koeh ni ai sak.
5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, [which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.
Thlak dyng ingtaw ni vyk mai seh – qeennaak dawngawh ni; ni zyi awm ni zyi seh – ka lu awhkaw situi nani a awm. Ka lu ing ap tha na tikaw. Cehlai kak cykcahnaak ing thlakchekhqi a ik-oeih sai ce oelh poepa hy;
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
a ningnih ak ukkungkhqi ce minpoeng na khawng kawm uh, kak awih kqawnkhqi ve ak leek ni ka kqawn tice thlakchekhqi ing sim kawm uh.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Cekkhqi ing, “Thlang ing dek a nawk awh deklai a ah amyihna, kaimih a quhkhqi taw phyi a keng awh theh qu kang hy,” ti kawm uh. (Sheol h7585)
8 But mine eyes [are] unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Bawipa, ka mik qawi ing nang ni ani dan; nang awh ni kang thuk – thihnaak benna nang ing koeh ni pe.
9 Keep me from the snares [which] they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Kai aham ami dun law dawng awhkawng ni loet sak nawhtaw; thlakchekhqi ing ami dun law dawng awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Kai taw ngaihding na ka ceh awh, thlakchekhqi taw a mimah a lawk awh awk nawn u seh.
