Saam 16
1 Miktam lok hoi sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, na pakaa ah, nang khaeah ni ka buep.
“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
2 Aw ka hinghaih, nang mah Angraeng khaeah, Nang loe ka Angraeng ni; nang ai ah loe ka hoihhaih tetta doeh ka tawn ai, tiah na naa.
I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
3 Toe long ah kaom kaciim kaminawk hoi lensawkhaih hoiah koi kaminawk to ka palung.
The holy that are in the land, and the excellent, —in them is all my delight.
4 Kalah sithaw khaeah caawn kaminawk loe palungsethaih pung aep tih: naek han a paek o ih athii hoiah angbawnhaih ka sah mak ai; pahni hoiah nihcae ih ahminnawk bokhaih lok to ka thui mak ai.
They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.
5 Angraeng loe ka toep han koi kai ih qawk hoi boengloeng ah oh: ka toep han koi taham doeh nang pahoe pae boeh.
Jehovah is my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
6 Kahoih koek ahmuen ah nang suek; ue, kahoih qawk to ka toep boeh.
My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
7 Ka poekhaih paekkung, Angraeng to ka pakoeh han: aqum ah doeh ka plungthin mah na lok hoiah ang thuitaek.
I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
8 Angraeng to ka hmaa ah ka suek toepsoep: anih loe ka bantang bangah oh pongah, kang thui mak ai.
I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
9 To pongah ka palungthin loe anghoe moe, ka lensawkhaih doeh anghoe: ka taksa doeh oephaih hoiah om tih.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
10 Ka muithla hae hell thungah na caeh taak mak ai; Ciimcai nangmah ih kami doeh na qongsak mak ai. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kai hanah hinghaih loklam to na patuek tih: kacung anghoehaih loe na hmaa ah oh, na bantang bangah loe dungzan anghoehaih to oh.
Thou wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
