Saam 16
1 Miktam lok hoi sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, na pakaa ah, nang khaeah ni ka buep.
A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.
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.
Thou hast said to Jehovah, 'My Lord Thou [art];' My good [is] not for thine own sake;
3 Toe long ah kaom kaciim kaminawk hoi lensawkhaih hoiah koi kaminawk to ka palung.
For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honourable, all my delight [is] in them.
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.
Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward; I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their names on 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] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou — Thou dost uphold my lot.
6 Kahoih koek ahmuen ah nang suek; ue, kahoih qawk to ka toep boeh.
Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a beauteous inheritance [is] for me.
7 Ka poekhaih paekkung, Angraeng to ka pakoeh han: aqum ah doeh ka plungthin mah na lok hoiah ang thuitaek.
I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
8 Angraeng to ka hmaa ah ka suek toepsoep: anih loe ka bantang bangah oh pongah, kang thui mak ai.
I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because — at my right hand I am not moved.
9 To pongah ka palungthin loe anghoe moe, ka lensawkhaih doeh anghoe: ka taksa doeh oephaih hoiah om tih.
Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
10 Ka muithla hae hell thungah na caeh taak mak ai; Ciimcai nangmah ih kami doeh na qongsak mak ai. (Sheol h7585)
For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy saintly one to see corruption. (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 causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
