Saam 139
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, kai to nang pakrong moe, nang panoek.
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
2 Kang hnuthaih hoi kang doethaih to na panoek, ka poekhaih hae ahmuen kangthla hoiah na panoek.
Thou hast know my sitting down, and my rising up.
3 Ka caehhaih loklam hoi ka iihhaih doeh nang panoek, ka caehhaih loklamnawk doeh na maat boih.
Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: my path and my line thou hast searched out.
4 Ka palai mah lok maeto doeh thui ai vop to mah, toe khenah, Aw Angraeng, nangmah loe panoek boih boeh.
And thou hast foreseen all my ways: for there is no speech in my tongue.
5 Kai hae nang takui moe, ka nuiah ban na koeng.
Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
6 To baktih palunghahaih loe kai hanah dawnrai parai han kaom hmuen ah ni oh; sang parai moe, ka phak vawt.
Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
7 Na Muithla khae hoiah naah maw ka caeh thai tih? To tih ai boeh loe na hmaa hoiah nabangah maw ka cawn thai tih?
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy face?
8 Van ah ka caeh tahang cadoeh, to ah nang na oh; taprong thungah kang song cadoeh, khenah, to ah nang na oh. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I descend into hell, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 Akhawnbang ih pakhraeh to ka tawnh moe, tuipui zaeh ahmuen kangthla ah ka zawk langlacadoeh;
If I take my wings early in the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
10 na ban hoiah kai nang zae ueloe, na bantang ban hoiah nang patawn tih.
Even there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 Vinghaih mah kai na khuk khoep tangtang tih boeh, tiah ka thuih cadoeh, ka taengah aanghaih to om tih.
And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
12 Ue, vinghaih mah kai na khuk thai mak ai; khoving loe khodai baktiah aang tih; nang hanah loe vinghaih hoi aanghaih to anghmong.
But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as day: the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
13 Ka tak thung ih angannawk loe nangmah ni na sak; kam no zokthung ah ka oh naah nang khuk hmoek boeh.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.
14 Kai hae zitthok hoi dawnrai koi kaom ah nang sak pongah, nang to kang pakoeh han; na sak ih hmuennawk loe dawnrai han oh, tiah ka hinghaih mah kahoih ah panoek.
I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
15 Kai hae sak naah kathuk koek ahmuen ah tamquta hoiah nang sak; ka takpum hae nang khae hoiah anghawk thai ai.
My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
16 Kacung ai ah sak ih, ka takpum hae mik hoiah na hnuk boeh; nihcae ih krang to om ai vop moe, mi doeh om ai naah, ka sak ih hmuennawk to na cabu thungah na tarik boih boeh.
Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: days shall be formed, and no one in them.
17 Aw Sithaw, na poekhaihnawk loe kai hanah atho oh parai! Kroeklaek ai khoek to kawk!
But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
18 Ka kroek nahaeloe, savuet pongah pop kue tih; kang thawk tahang naah, nang khaeah ni ka oh poe vop.
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: I rose up and am still with thee.
19 Aw Angraeng, kasae kaminawk loe na hum tangtang tih; to pongah nangcae athii anghae kaminawk, kai khae hoi kangthla ah om oh.
If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: ye men of blood, depart from me:
20 Nihcae mah nang to kasae thuih o moe, na misanawk mah na hmin to atho kaom ai ah patoh o boeh.
Because you say in thought: They shall receive thy cities in vain.
21 Aw Angraeng, nang hnuma kaminawk to ka hnukma moe, nang misa angthawk thuih kaminawk to ka panuet na ai maw?
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pine away because of thy enemies?
22 Nihcae to ka hnukma tangtang, nihcae loe ka misa ah ni ka poek.
I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me.
23 Aw Sithaw, na pakrong ah loe, ka palungthin hae panoek pae ah; na tanoek ah loe, ka poekhaihnawk hae panoek ah.
Prove me, O God, and know my heart: examine me, and know my paths.
24 Sethaih loklam to ka pazui maw pazui ai tito khen ah loe, dungzan loklam ah na caeh haih ah.
And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: and lead me in the eternal way.
