Saam 13

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nasetto maw nang pahnet han vop? Nang pahnet poe han boeh maw? Nasetto maw kai khae hoiah mikhmai na hawk han vop?

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Kai loe ni thokkruek nasetto maw palung ka set moe, nasetto maw khopoekhaih hoiah ka oh han vop? Ka misa mah nasetto maw na uk vop tih?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, ka lok hae tahngai ah loe, na pathim ah: ka mik hae amtuengsak ah, to tih ai nahaeloe duekhaih hoiah ka iip poe moeng tih;

Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

4 to naah ka misanawk mah, Anih loe ka pazawk boeh, tiah na naa o ueloe, kam tim naah kai raihaih paek kaminawk anghoe o moeng tih.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Toe kai loe nam lunghaih tang kami ah ka oh; na pahlonghaih pongah kai ih palungthin anghoe tih.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Anih loe ka nuiah paroeai hoih pongah, Angraeng khaeah laa ka sak han.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
