Saam 11

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Kai loe Angraeng khaeah ni kam ha: tipongah, Tavaa baktiah nangmah ih mae ah azawk lai ah, tiah ka muithla hanah na naa loe?

For the Chief Musician. By David. In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

2 Khenah, kasae kami loe kalii to takoih moe, katoeng kaminawk palung thuem ah kah hanah, anghawk o moe, kalii qui nuiah palaa to koeng o coek boeh.

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 Nihcae angdoethaih ahmuen to paro pae ving nahaeloe, katoeng kami loe timaw sah thai tih boeh?

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

4 Angraeng loe kaciim tempul thungah oh moe, Angraeng ih angraeng tangkhang loe van ah oh: kami capanawk to mik hoiah a khet moe, a mikhin hoiah nihcae to tanoek.

The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

5 Angraeng mah katoeng kami to tanoek: toe anih ih muithla mah loe kasae hoi poeksae kaminawk to hnukma.

The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

6 Anih mah kasae kaminawk nuiah hmai kamngaeh, kaat hmai hoi angbaeh thlung kamngaeh hoi kabae parai takhi kasae to krahsak tih, hae loe nihcae naek han koi taham ah om tih.

On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulphur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 Angraeng loe toeng pongah, toenghaih to koeh; katoeng kaminawk loe anih ih mikhmai to hnu o tih.

For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
