Psalms 109
1 God, you are the one whom I praise, [So please] answer [my prayer],
[Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Kai kah koehnah Pathen aw hilphah boeh.
2 because wicked people slander me and tell [MTY] lies about me.
Halang kah a ka neh hlangthai palat kah a ka te kai taengah ong uh tih a lai loh a honghi a thui uh.
3 They are constantly saying that they hate me, and they say evil things about me for no reason.
Hmuhuetnah olka neh kai m'vael uh tih a honghi nen khaw kai n'nen uh.
4 I show them that I want to be their friends and I pray for them, but [instead of being kind to me], they say that I have done evil things.
Kai kah lungnah dongah kai n'khingkhoek uh cakhaw kai loh thangthuinah ka khueh pah.
5 In return for my doing good things for them and loving them, they do evil things to me and hate me.
Hnothen te kai taengah boethae neh, kai kah lungnah te hmuhuetnah neh a khueh uh.
6 They said, “Appoint a wicked [judge] who will judge him, and bring in one of his enemies who will stand up and accuse him.
Anih te halang loh cawh saeh lamtah a bantang kut ah Satan pai pah saeh.
7 And cause that when the trial [ends], [the judge will] declare that he is guilty, and that [even] his prayer will be considered to be a sin.
Anih te laitloek vaengah a halang phoe pah saeh lamtah a thangthuinah te tholh la poeh saeh.
8 [Then], cause that he will soon die and that someone else will have his job/work (OR, possessions).
A hing tue khaw a bawn la om saeh lamtah, a cawhnah te hlang tloe loh rhawt saeh.
9 Cause that his children will not have a father any more and that his wife will become a widow.
A ca rhoek te cadah la, a yuu khaw nuhmai la om uh saeh.
10 Cause that his children will be forced to leave the ruined homes that they have been living in and wander around begging for food.
A ca rhoek khaw poeng poeng uh saeh lamtah buh bih uh saeh. A imrhong khui lamkah vawtthaih uh saeh.
11 Cause that all the people to whom he owed money will seize all his property; Cause that strangers will take away everything that he worked to acquire.
A khueh boeih te puhlah loh n'hlaeh saeh lamtah a thaphu te kholong loh poelyoe pah saeh.
12 Cause that [while he is still living] no one will be kind to him, and [after he dies], cause that no one will pity his children.
Anih taengah sitlohnah aka khueh om boel saeh lamtah a ca cadah rhoek te aka rhen om boel saeh.
13 Cause that all his descendants will die and that his grandchildren will not remember who he [MTY] was.
A hmailong kah cadilcahma te phae la om saeh lamtah a ming khaw a tloe la hmata bal saeh.
14 Yahweh, remember [and do not forgive] his ancestors for the evil things that they did, and do not [even] forgive the sins that his mother committed;
A napa rhoek kah thaesainah te BOEIPA hmaiah poek saeh lamtah a manu kah tholhnah te hmata boel saeh.
15 think about his sins continually, and cause that his name will be completely forgotten.
A tholhnah te BOEIPA hmaiah om taitu saeh lamtah amih poekkoepnah te diklai lamkah phae la om saeh.
16 He never was kind to anyone; he (persecuted/cause problems for) poor and needy [people] and even killed helpless [people].
Sitlohnah khueh ham poek pawt tih khodaeng lungma neh thinko aka paeng hlang te duek sak ham a hloem.
17 He liked to curse [people]. [So] cause those terrible things that he requested to happen to others to happen to him! He did not want to bless [others], [so] cause that no one will bless him!
Rhunkhuennah te a lungnah dongah amah tlak thil saeh. Yoethennah khuiah a naem pawt dongah a taeng lamkah vikvik lakhla saeh.
18 He cursed other people [as often/easily] as he put on his clothes [SIM]; cause that the terrible things that he wanted to happen to others will [happen to him and] enter his body like water [that he drinks] [SIM], like [olive] oil soaks into a person’s bones [when it is rubbed on his skin] [SIM].
Rhunkhuennah te khaw a himbai la bai saeh lamtah a kotak khuiah tui bangla, a rhuh khuiah khaw situi bangla kun pah saeh.
19 Cause that those terrible things will cling to him like his clothes and be around him like the belt that he wears every day.”
Amah te himbai cun bangla om pah saeh lamtah cihin bangla yen taitu saeh.
20 Yahweh, I want you to punish all my enemies that way, those who say evil things about me.
Hekah he BOEIPA taeng lamkah kai aka khingkhoek rhoek neh ka hinglu he a thae la aka thui rhoek kah thaphu la om saeh.
21 But Yahweh, my God, do good things for me in order that I may honor you; rescue me [from my enemies] because your faithfully loving me is good.
Tedae namah tah ka Boeipa Yahovah coeng ni. Na sitlohnah then te na ming ham, kai taengah saii lamtah n'huul lah.
22 [I ask you to do this] because I am poor and needy and my inner being is (full of pain/very troubled/discouraged).
Kai tah mangdaeng neh khodaeng la ka om tih ka lungbuei khaw ka kotak ah thiip coeng.
23 [I think that] my time [to remain alive] is short, like an evening shadow [that will soon disappear] [SIM]. I will be blown away like a locust/grasshopper is blown [by the wind].
Khokhawn a khuup vaengkah bangla ka khum tih kaisih bangla ka cungpet.
24 My knees are weak because I have (fasted/abstained from eating food) very often, and my body has become very thin.
Yaehnah dongah ka khuklu hlinghlawk tih ka pum dongkah ka tha khaw pim coeng.
25 The people who accuse me make fun of me; when they see me, they [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man].
Te vaengah kai he amih kah kokhahnah la ka om tih kai m'hmuh uh vaengah a lu a hinghuen uh.
26 Yahweh, my God, help me! Because you faithfully love [me], rescue me!
BOEIPA ka Pathen aw kai n'bom lah. Namah kah sitlohnah vanbangla kai n'khang lah.
27 [When you save me], cause my enemies to know that you are the one who has done it!
Te vaengah BOEIPA namah loh na kut neh na saii te ming uh saeh.
28 They may curse me, but I ask that you bless me. Cause those who (persecute/cause problems for) me [to be defeated and as a result] to be disgraced/ashamed, and cause me to be glad/happy!
Amih te thaephoei thil uh cakhaw namah loh yoethen na paek bitni. Tlai thil uh cakhaw yahpok uh saeh lamtah na sal loh a kohoe saeh.
29 Cause those who accuse me to be completely disgraced; cause [other people to see] that they are disgraced, as [easily as they see] the clothes that they wear [SIM]!
Kai aka khingkhoek rhoek te mingthae loh a vuei uh vetih amamih kah yahpohnah loh hnikul bangla cun uh ni.
30 But I will thank Yahweh very greatly; I will praise him [when I am] among the crowd [of people who are worshiping him].
Ka ka neh a nah la BOEIPA ka uem vetih hlangping lakli ah amah te ka thangthen ni.
31 [I will do that] because he defends [MTY] needy [people like me], and saves us from those who have decided/declared that we must be executed.
A hinglu aka boe sak lamloh khang ham khodaeng kah bantang ah a pai pah.
