Psalms 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
1Duengnah he han ya lah BOEIPA! ka tamlung he hnatung lamtah ka ka ah hlangthai palat om kolla ka thangthuinah he na hna han kaeng lah.
2Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
2Ka laitloeknah he namah taeng lamkah halo saeh lamtah na mik loh vanatnah te hmuh van saeh.
3Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
3Ka lungbuei he noem lah, khoyin ah nan cawh tih kai nan picai dae na hmu moenih. Ka ka he a tholh pawt ham ka mangtaeng coeng.
4As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
4Hlang kah thaphu dongah na hmuilai lamkah olka nen ni kai loh dingca kah a caehlong te ka rhael.
5My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
5Na namtlak kah ka khokan khaw ka kho a paloe pawt ham n'duel dae.
6As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
6Kai nan doo dongah kamah loh nang ni kang khue. Pathen aw kai taengla na hna han duen lamtah ka olthui he hnatun lah.
7Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
7Caemrhal lamkah aka ying rhoek te na bantang kut neh aka khang, na sitlohnah tah khobaerhambae la tueng.
8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
8Na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih nu bangla na phae hlip ah kai n'ying sak lamtah,
9From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
9kai aka rhoelrhak sak halang rhoek neh, kai taengah ka hinglu aka vael ka thunkha rhoek hmai lamkah kai he n'dawndah lah.
10Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
10Amih te a komoelh uh, a kam a khuep uh tih hoemdamnah a thui uh.
11At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
11Tahae ah kaimih kah khokan te a hil uh tih amih mik loh kaimih he m'vael uh coeng. Kaimih he Diklai la aka tulh ham tawn uh.
12He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
12A mueisa mah rhamsa ngaeh ham aka moo sathueng neh sathuengca bangla a huephael ah kho a sak.
13Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
13Aw BOEIPA thoo lah, anih hmai ah khoep mah lamtah bung sak. Na cunghang neh halang kut lamkah ka hinglu he han hlah lah.
14From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
14BOEIPA namah kut dongkah hlang rhoek lamloh, khosaknah lamkah hlang rhoek lamloh, na hingnah dongah amih kah hamsum khaw na khoem pah tih a bung na hah sak. Ca rhoek khaw hah uh tih a coih te a camoe patoeng ham a paih uh.
15As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
15Kai ngawn tah, duengnah dongah na maelhmai ka hmuh vetih, namah kah muei la ka haenghang vaengah, ngaikhuek la ka om ni.
