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?

For the leader. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult 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;

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in 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 my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
