Psalms 55
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1(55-1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. (55-2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
1Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih hoi angqoi taak hmah.
2(55-3) Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
2Na tahngai pae ah loe pathim ah: poek anghmang sut moe,
3(55-4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
3ka misa ih lok hoi kasae kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih pongah, ka hang khing boeh; nihcae loe a sakpazae o haih to ka nuiah amtik o, kai palung ang phui o thuih moe, ang hnukma o.
4(55-5) My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
4Ka palung loe athung ah patangkhang; duek zithaih mah ang kraeng khoep boeh.
5(55-6) Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
5Ka nuiah zithaih hoi tasoehhaih to phak moe, kai loe zithaih mah muek khoep boeh.
6(55-7) And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
6To naah, Aw pahuu baktiah pakhraeh ka tawnh soe nahaeloe, kangthla ah ka zawk moe, amding rue ah ka oh han boeh!
7(55-8) Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah
7Khenah, kangthla ah kam het moe, praezaek ah ka oh ving han. Selah .
8(55-9) I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
8Takhi pui hoi takhi sae to loih hanah, karangah ka cawnh han, tiah ka thuih.
9(55-10) Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
9Aw Angraeng, nihcae amrosak hanah, lok to anghmangsak ah; vangpui thungah lokpunghaih hoi angzoehhaih to ka hnuk boeh.
10(55-11) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
10Nihcae loe aqum athun sipae taengah caeh o; athung ah loe kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih hoi qahhaih to oh.
11(55-12) Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
11Kasae sakhaih vangpui thungah oh o, lampuinawk ah kaom pacaekthlaekhaih hoi alinghaih loe boeng thai ai boeh.
12(55-13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
12Kai pahnui thuih kami loe kai ih misa na ai ni, kai ih misa ah om cadoeh ka pauep thai tih; angmah hoi angmah amkoeh moe, kai hnuma kami doeh kai ih misa na ai ni, kai ih misa ah om nahaeloe, anih to ka yae ving han:
13(55-14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
13to kami loe, kai hoi kanghmong, kam pui, ampui kangzong ah kaom, nang ni.
14(55-15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
14Kaicae loe kahoih lok to ka thuih o moe, kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw im ah ka caeh o.
15(55-16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.
15Sethaih loe nihcae ohhaih ahmuen, nihcae salakah oh pongah, nihcae to duekhaih mah naeh nasoe loe, hell thungah kahingah caeh o nasoe.
16(55-17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
16Toe kai loe, Sithaw to ka kawk han; Angraeng mah na pahlong tih.
17(55-18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
17Duembang, akhawnbang hoi athun ah, lawkthuihaih hoiah ka hangh; to naah anih mah ka lok na thaih pae tih.
18(55-19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
18Kai tuh kami loe pop o parai pognah, kai ang tuk o naah, anih mah monghaih hoiah ka hinghaih ang pahlong.
19(55-20) God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, Selah, such as have no changes, and fear not God.
19Canghnii hoiah kaom poe Sithaw mah thaih naah, nihcae to pacaekthlaek tih. Selah . Nihcae loe amkhraihaih om ai pongah, Sithaw zii o ai.
20(55-21) He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
20To baktih kami loe a thuih ih lok baktiah om ai, angmah hoi angdaeh ampui to misa ah suek.
21(55-22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
21Pakha hoi tacawt a thuih ih loknawk loe samdai baktiah amnae, toe palung thungah loe misatuk han ih khue ni a poek; a lok loe moithawk pongah naem kue, toe nihcae loe sumsen hoi kami hum hanah oh o coek.
22(55-23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
22Nangmah ih hmuenzit to Angraeng khaeah amtii ah, anih mah na bomh tih; katoeng kami loe natuek naah doeh amtimsak mak ai.
23(55-24) But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
23Toe Aw Sithaw, nang mah nihcae to tangqom thungah pakhrah tih; athii anghae kami hoi aling thaih kaminawk loe, a hing o haih ahap mataeng doeh hing o mak ai; toe kai loe, nang khaeah ni ka buep han.
