Saam 22
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung han oihaih loe, akhawnbang ih tasuk tala. David ih Saam laa. Ka Sithaw, ka Sithaw, tipongah nang caeh taak ving loe? Kai nang bomh ai, tikhoe ka hanghaih lok pathim ai ah kangthla ah na oh ving loe?
For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2 Aw ka Angraeng, khodai ah ka hangh, toe nang pathim ai; khoving ah doeh kang hngai duem thai ai.
My God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
3 Toe aw nang loe na ciim, nang loe Israel kaminawk saphawhaih ah na oh.
But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Kam panawk mah nang ni oep o: nang ang oep o pongah, nihcae to na pahlong.
Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
5 Nang khaeah a hang o naah, nihcae to na pahlong; nang ang oep o pongah, azathaih tongh o ai.
They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
6 Kai loe kami na ai, sadong ah ni ka oh; minawk mah kasaethuih moe, hnaphnae han koi ah ni ka oh.
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 Kai hnu kaminawk boih mah ang patoek o moe, ang pahnuih o thuih: pahni ang baek o thuih moe, lu ang haek o thuih,
All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
8 anih loe Angraeng oephaih tawnh na ai maw, Angraeng mah pahlong nasoe khae: anih ih mikcuk naakrak ah om nahaeloe, anih mah pahlong nasoe khae, tiah a thuih o.
“He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
9 Toe kam no zok thung hoiah nang taprok moe, tahnu ka naek naah kamongah nang ohsak.
But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
10 Zok thung hoiah boeh ni nang khaeah kang tathlang boeh, nang loe kam no zok thung hoiah ka Sithaw ah na oh boeh.
I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
11 Kangthla ah na om taak hmah; raihaih mah ang phak thuih tom boeh; bomkung mi doeh om ai.
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12 Maitaw taenawk mah ang takui o khoep; thacak Bashan ih maitaw taenawk mah ang ven o khoep boeh.
Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13 Hanghaih hoi moi kaek kaipui baktiah, nihcae mah pakha ang angh o thuih.
They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
14 Tui baktiah ang kraih o moe, ka huhnawk doeh angkhring boih boeh: ka palungthin loe samdai baktiah oh moe, ka palung thungah amnaeng boih boeh.
I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.
15 Ka thacakhaih loe laom koi baktiah oh, ka palai doeh akam huh hoiah angbet caeng boeh; kai hae duekhaih maiphu thungah nang zaeh tathuk boeh.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16 Kai loe uinawk mah ang takui o khoep: nawnto amkhueng kasae kaminawk mah ang ven o khoep boeh: ka ban hoi ka khoknawk to ang takhing o.
For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Kai ih ahuhnawk loe kroek thai boih han koiah ni oh boeh: nihcae mah padaenghaih hoiah ang khet o.
I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18 Nihcae mah ka khukbuennawk to amzet o moe, kai ih laihaw lak hanah taham khethaih phoisa to a vah o.
They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19 Toe, Aw Angraeng, kangthla ah na om taak hmah: Aw ka thacakhaih, kai abomh han karangah angzo ah.
But do not be far off, LORD. You are my help. Hurry to help me!
20 Sumsen thung hoiah ka hinghaih pakhra hae pahlongh loe, ka palung koek ih pakhra hae ui thacakhaih thung hoiah pahlong ah.
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
21 Kaipui pakha thung hoiah na pahlongh loe, hmawsaeng kokno ih taki thung hoi nang pahlong hanah ka lok hae nang thaih pae boeh.
Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22 Kam nawkamyanawk khaeah na hmin to ka thuih moe, kaminawk salakah nang kang pakoeh han.
I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.
23 Angraeng zii kaminawk, anih to pakoeh oh; nangcae Jakob ih caanawk boih, anih to pakoeh oh; nangcae Israel caanawk boih, anih to zii oh!
You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
24 Anih loe patangkhang kami hoi raihaih tong kami to khet patoek ai, panuethaih doeh tawn ai; a mikhmai doeh hawk ving ai, Angmah khaeah hang naah, Anih mah pathim pae.
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
25 Kami rangpui salakah nang to kang pakoeh moe, Anih zii kaminawk hmaa ah lokkamhaih to ka sak han.
My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26 Mi tlim ah khosah kaminawk loe caa o ueloe, zok amhah o tih: Angraeng pakrong kaminawk loe, Anih to saphaw o tih: to tiah nahaeloe nangcae ih palungthin dungzan khoek to hing tih.
The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27 Long boenghaih ah kaom kaminawk boih mah panoek o ueloe, Angraeng khaeah amlaem o tih: prae kaminawk boih mah na hmaa ah bok o tih.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28 Ukhaih prae loe Angraeng ih ni: anih loe prae kaminawk boih ukkung ah oh.
For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
29 Long ah kaom angraengnawk boih hoi caaknaek kamtlai ah tawn kaminawk mah nang to bok o tih: a hinghaih pakaa thai ai kaminawk, maiphu thungah caeh kaminawk boih na hmaa ah akuep o tih:
All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.
30 nihcae acaengnawk mah anih ih tok to sah pae o ueloe, angzo han koi a caanawk khaeah Angraeng kawng to thui pae o tih.
Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
31 Nihcae angzo o ueloe, Anih mah hae hmuen hae sak boeh, tiah Anih toenghaih to tapen han koi kaminawk khaeah taphong o tih.
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
