Saam 17
1 David lawkthuihaih Aw Angraeng, toenghaih hoi ka hanghaih lok hae tahngai pae ah loe, lawk ka thuihaih naa patueng pae ah, alinghaih pahni hoiah lawk ka thui ai.
The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
2 Ka nuiah lok takroekhaih loe nang khae hoiah angzo nasoe loe, na mik hoiah toenghaih to hnu nasoe.
Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
3 Ka palungthin to nang khingh pae moe, aqum ah nang khetzawn; kai hae nang tanoek, toe tidoeh na hnu ai; ka pakha ah zaehaih om mak ai, tiah ka poek.
Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
4 Kaminawk mah sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, amrosak thaih kaminawk caehhaih loklam ah athum han ai ah, na pakha thung hoi tacawt tamthanglok hoiah ka yae ving boeh.
That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
5 Kam thaek han ai ah, na loklam ah ka caehhaih khok tangkan na caksak ah.
Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
6 Aw Sithaw, kang kawkhaih lok nang pathim han oh pongah, nang to kang kawk: na naa to patuengh loe, lawk ka thuihaih lok hae na tahngai paeh.
I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
7 Nang khae abuephaih pakrong kaminawk, misa ih ban thung hoiah na ban hoi pahlongkung, dawnrai nam lunghaih to amtuengsak ah.
Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
8 Kai pacaekthlaek kasae kaminawk hoi kai takui khoep kami hum han koeh misanawk thung hoiah mikmu baktiah na khenzawn ah loe, na pakhraeh tahlip ah na buepsak ah.
From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
10 Nihcae loe kathawk angmacae ih angan to ang oep o moe, amoekhaih lok to a thuih o.
They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
11 Aicae caehhaih loklam to vaihi takui o khoep boeh: aicae long ah amtimsak hanah mik hoiah a khet o;
They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
12 kaek ih moi to caak han kaom zok amthlam kaipui, moi naeh hanah tamquta hoiah angangh kaipui caa kanawk baktiah a oh o.
They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
13 Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah, anih to pakaa ah loe, amtimsak ah; na sumsen hoiah ka hinghaih kasae kami ih ban thung hoiah na loisak ah.
Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
14 Aw Angraeng, long kami ah kaom, to baktih kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae na ban hoi na pahlong ah; nihcae loe hae long nuiah hing o nathung, tangqum a hak o boeh, nihcae ih zok to na hawk ih hmuenmae hoiah na koisak boeh: a caanawk loe angraeng o; nihcae loe caa nawktanawk to sak o mangh, a tawnh o ih hmuenmaenawk doeh a caanawk hanah suek pae o.
From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
15 Kai loe, toenghaih hoiah na krang to ka hnu tih: kang thawk tahang naah, na krang baktiah kaom nangmah roe to ka hnu tih, to naah loe ka poekhaih palung hae khuek ti tih boeh.
But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
