Saam 143
1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih lok hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih lok hae na tahngai pae ah; na oepthohhaih hoi toenghaih rang hoiah na pathim pae ah.
A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me — in Thy righteousness.
2 Na tamna hoi nawnto lokcaekhaih thungah caeh hmah; na hmaa ah kahing kami katoeng maeto doeh om ai.
And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.
3 Ka misa mah ka hinghaih hae pacaekthlaek; ka hinghaih longah ang vah pae; saning kasawk ah kadueh kaminawk baktih toengah, vinghaih thungah ang ohsak.
For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
4 To pongah palung ka boeng moe, poekhaih thazok sut boeh, ka palung loe tasoehaih hoiah koi.
And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my heart become desolate.
5 Canghnii ih atuenawk to ka poek; na sak ih hmuennawk boih to ka poek; na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk doeh ka poek.
I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse.
6 Nang khaeah ban ka payangh; long mah tui anghaeh baktih toengah, ka hinghaih mah nang to tui ah anghaeh. (Selah)
I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a weary land for Thee. (Selah)
7 Aw Angraeng, karangah na tahngai pae ah; ka muithla loe thazok sut boeh; kai khae hoiah na mikhmai to hawk ving hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe tangqom thungah caeh tathuk kaminawk baktiah ka om moeng tih.
Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed, Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with those going down [to] the pit.
8 Akhawnbang ah nam lunghaih to na thaisak ah, nang ni kang oep; ka caeh han koi loklam to na panoeksak ah; nang khaeah ni ka hinghaih kang tathlang.
Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.
9 Aw Angraeng, ka misanawk salak hoiah na krang ah; abuep hanah nang khaeah kang cawnh.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.
10 Nang loe ka Sithaw ah na oh pongah, na koehhaih sak hanah na patuk ah; na Muithla loe hoih; toenghaih prae thungah na hoi ah.
Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God — Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.
11 Aw Angraeng, kai hae na hmin hoiah na pathawk ah; na toenghaih hoiah ka hinghaih hae raihaih thung hoiah na loisak ah.
For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul,
12 Nang tahmen baktih toengah, ka misanawk to paduek ah; ka hinghaih pacaekthlaek kaminawk to amrosak ah; kai loe na tamna ah ni ka oh.
And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy servant!
