Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Yahweh, the right, Attend to my loud cry, Give ear unto my prayer, on lips that would not deceive:
O Pakai adih thumna a kaka ogin hi nei jahpeh in, katao nahi nei ngaipeh in, lungthengsel le dih tah katao ahi.
2 From before thee, let my sentence come forth, Thine eyes, behold with equity.
Kathem chan na neiphondoh peh’in, ajeh chu nangin thudih'a natong namuchet ahi.
3 Thou hast tested my heart, hast made inspection by night, hast refined me until thou couldst find nothing, Had I devised evil, my mouth should not have transgressed:
Nangin kalunggel ho napatep jin, janteng jongle kalungsung navelhaji. Nangin kapum changin neivechillin kathepmo na namupoi; kakamsung jenga jong set na potlou ding ahitai.
4 As for the workings of men, By the word of thy lips, have, I, taken heed of the paths of the violent one.
Keiman nathupeh dan dungjuiin, migilou ho le mi-engseho ho khonung kajui ji poi.
5 Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:
Kakalson dan hin nalampi kajui jingin nangma lampia kon in kapotdoh pon ahi.
6 I, have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O GOD, —Incline thine ear unto me, Hear thou my speech:
Keima nangma komma taova kahi ajeh chu O Pathen nangin neisanpeh teiding kahei. Kataona hi lunglut tah’in neingaipeh in.
7 Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.
Nami ngailutna longlou chu kidangtah in neimusah’in, agalmitea konna hoidohna ngaichaho chu nathahatna gimneitah chun nahuh doh ji e.
8 Guard me, as the pupil of the eye, —Under the shadow of thy wings, wilt thou hide me:
Nangmannamit teni nachintupjingbangin keima jong neivesuijin. Nalhaving limnoija chun neisellin.
9 From the face of lawless ones who have treated me with violence, the foes of my soul, who come round against me:
Kavel a eidoujing migilouho a kon in eivengtup in, eithatgo kamelmahoa kon in nei huhdoh in.
10 Their own fat [heart], have they shut up, —With their mouth, have they spoken proudly.
Amahohi mi khotona bei ahiuvin akiletsahnao thucheng chu ngaitan!
11 As for our own goings, now, have they surrounded us, —Their eyes, they fix, bending to the earth:
Amahon eihin juilutnun eiumkimvel uvin tol'a selhuh dingin agomkom ahollun ahi.
12 His likeness, is as a lion, that longeth to rend, and as a young lion, lurking in secret places.
Anehding changlhih le keipi bahkai hangtah bang le keipinou vin gamthip lai matding avetlhih le tobang ahiuve.
13 Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one [who is] thy sword:
Hung kipat tan O Pakai kidintepin lang seplhu jengin! Nachemjammin migilouhoa kon in neihuhdoh in.
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, —They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: —
O Pakai naban thathatnin vannoia ama phatchomna ngaito hi sumangin. Amavang nangma goulu hohi nangman vah va jing in. Acheteu neijong suhnengpeh inlang ason apahteu goulo ding geija adalhahpeh theina diuvin gontoh peh’in.
15 I, in righteousness, shall behold thy face, Shall be satisfied when awakened by a vision of thee.
Monabeija hinkho Kaman jeh a namel kamu teiding ahi. Kathodoh tengleh nangma toh kimaitoa ikimuto ding chule kalungnachim tante.
