1TOUPA aw, ka dikna thu ja inla, ka kikou husa ngaikhia inla; ka thumna, juauthu genhat muka pawt hi lou-ah, bil na doh in;
1Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.
2Ka tungthu pukna tuh na ma akipana pawt hi henla; na mitin khentuam neih louhna en hen.
2Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
3Ka lungtang na enchian a; janin na hongpha a; non endikta a bangmah na mu het kei a; ka kamin a genkhial kei ding ka chi chiltel ahi;
3You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
4Mihing thilhih ah jaw, na muka thu pawt jiakin mihing ngongtat lampi-a pai lou dingin ka kikem hoih ahi;
4As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
5Ka kalsuanten na lampi tuh a tawn ziahziaha, ka khete a tal ngeikei hi.
5My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
6Pathian aw, ka honsam jela, nang lah non dawng dinga: kei lamah na bil hondoh inla, ka thugen ngaikhia in;
6I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
7Nangmaha ginna koih peuhmahte kianga, na khut taklama amau sualte hondam jelpa aw, na chitna lamdang kilang sakin.
7Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
8Mit laimu bangin honkem inla, na kha nuaiahte honbu sakin.
8Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9Mi gilou-salou honhihsiaa, hondou-a honum kim lakah.
9from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
10Amaute tuh amau thau-a umin a om ua, a kam un kisathei takin thu a gen jel uhi;
10They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11Tuin jaw ka kalsuanna peuhmah uah a honum suakta a, leia honhihpuk dingin a mitte khawng uh ka tunguah a tusak uhi;
11They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
12Amah tuh humpinelkai sa keih ut mahmah bang leh, humpinelkai lunlai mun dai peuha buk niloulouh bang lel ahi.
12He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13TOUPA aw, thou inla, amah maituah pih inla, kun sakin: ka hinna tuh mi gilou-salou lakah na namsauin humbit inla.
13Arise, Yahweh, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;
14TOUPA aw, na khutin mihingte lakah, khovel mihingte lakah, humbitin; amau tuam jaw tu damsunga a neih uh ahi a, a gil uh na gouin na dimsak naknaka; tate lungkim hunt akin a nei ua, a sum zat val uh a tangekte uh a sihsan jel uhi.Ken jaw diktatna neiin na mel ka mu dinga; nangmah batna neia ka hah hun chiangin ka lungkim hun mahmah ding hi.
14from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.
15Ken jaw diktatna neiin na mel ka mu dinga; nangmah batna neia ka hah hun chiangin ka lungkim hun mahmah ding hi.
15As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
