< Saam 141 >
1 Aw Angraeng, nang to kang kawk; kai khaeah karangah angzo ah; nang kang kawk naah, ka lok hae tahngai pae ah.
A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee.
2 Lawk ka thuihaih to na hmaa ah hmuihoih baktih, ka payangh ih ban loe duembang ah sak ih angbawnhaih baktiah om nasoe.
Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Aw Angraeng, ka pakha ah toepkung to na suem pae ah; kai ih pahni thok hae na toep pae ah.
Set a guard, O LORD, to my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
4 Kahoih ai hmuen to sak hanah, kai ih palung hae kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk hoi nawnto paqoi hmah; nihcae ih caaknaeknawk doeh na pacah hmah.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Katoeng kami mah kai na bop nasoe, to tiah ang bohhaih loe amlunghaih ah ni om tih; zoeh doeh na zoeh nasoe, ka lu hanah kahoih koek situi ah ni om tih, ka lu mah angmaa mak ai. Toe sethaih sah kaminawk mah sak ih hmuennawk pongah lawk ka thuih vop.
Let the righteous smite me in kindness, and correct me; oil so choice let not my head refuse; for still is my prayer because of their wickedness.
6 Nihcae ukkungnawk amngoe taengah vah o naah loe, ka thuih ih loknawk loe luep pongah, nihcae mah ka thuih ih loknawk to thaih o.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words, that they are sweet.
7 Thing to boeng moe, long ah pakhoih baktih toengah, taprong taengah kaicae ih ahuhnawk to a haeh o phang. (Sheol )
As when one cleaveth and breaketh up the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth. (Sheol )
8 Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, ka mik mah loe nang ni ang danh; kai loe nang khaeah ni kam ha; ka hinghaih hae raihaih hoiah na caeh taak hmah.
For mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord; in Thee have I taken refuge, O pour not out my soul.
9 Kai han patung ih thaang hoi kasae sah kaminawk mah patung ih dongnawk thung hoiah na loisak ah.
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Ka loih pacoengah, kasae sah kaminawk loe angmacae ih palok pongah aman o nasoe.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I withal escape.
