Saam 19
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih saam laa. Vannnawk mah Sithaw lensawkhaih to taphong o, long ranui ih van mah a toksakhaih to amtuengsak.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2 Nito pacoeng nito lokthuih o moe, qumto pacoeng qumto palunghahaih to amtueng o sak.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 Lokthuihaih hoi lokpaehhaih to om ai; kawbaktih ahmuen ah doeh nihcae ih lok thaih han om ai.
Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
4 Toe nihcae ih lok loe longpum ah phak, a loknawk loe long boenghaih khoek to amthang boeh. Van ah ni ohhaih kahni im to a sak pae,
their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 ni loe impui thung hoi tacawt zu la thendoeng baktiah oh, angnoekhaih ahmuen ah anghoehaih hoi kacawn thacak kami hoiah anghmong.
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6 Anih loe van boenghaih hoiah tacawt moe, van boenghaih khoek to takui: ni aengh mah phak han ai ah kanghawk hmuen tidoeh om ai.
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 Angraeng ih kaalok loe acung moe, muithla to amkhraisak: Angraeng mah thuih ih lok loe oepthoh moe, palungha ai kaminawk to palunghasak.
The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 Angraeng thuitaekhaih loknawk loe toeng moe, palungthin to anghoesak; Angraeng ih kaaloknawk loe ciim moe, mik to amtuengsak.
The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 Angraeng zithaih loe ciim moe, dungzan khoek to cak poe: Angraeng lok takroekhaih loe amsoem moe, toeng boih.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
10 Sui pongah atho nat, ue, kaciim suitui pongah doeh koeh han oh kue: khoitui pongah luep moe, khoi lutui pongah doeh luep kue.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 To baktih hmuennawk hoiah na tamnanawk to acoehaih na paek, daan pazuihaih loe paroeai kalen tangqum to oh.
By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
12 Mi maw a sakpazaehaih panoek thaih? Kamtueng ai sakpazaehaih thung hoiah kai na ciimsak ah.
Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13 Na tamna mah zaehaih sak parui poe han ai ah na pakaa ah; to zaehaihnawk mah kai na uk hmah nasoe: to tiah ni katoeng ah ka om ueloe, kalen parai zaehaih thung hoiah ka loih tih.
Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
14 Aw Angraeng, ka thacakhaih hoi kai akrangkung, ka pakha thung ih loknawk hoi palung thungah ka poek ih hmuennawk loe, na hmaa ah talawk han koi ah om nasoe.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
