< 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 choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
2 Aw ka Angraeng, khodai ah ka hangh, toe nang pathim ai; khoving ah doeh kang hngai duem thai ai.
I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
3 Toe aw nang loe na ciim, nang loe Israel kaminawk saphawhaih ah na oh.
Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 Kam panawk mah nang ni oep o: nang ang oep o pongah, nihcae to na pahlong.
In You our fathers trusted; 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 out to You and were set free; 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 not a man, scorned by 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 who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
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 the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
9 Toe kam no zok thung hoiah nang taprok moe, tahnu ka naek naah kamongah nang ohsak.
Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10 Zok thung hoiah boeh ni nang khaeah kang tathlang boeh, nang loe kam no zok thung hoiah ka Sithaw ah na oh boeh.
From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
11 Kangthla ah na om taak hmah; raihaih mah ang phak thuih tom boeh; bomkung mi doeh om ai.
Be not far from me, for trouble is near and 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 surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 Hanghaih hoi moi kaek kaipui baktiah, nihcae mah pakha ang angh o thuih.
They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
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, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away 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, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in 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 surround me; a band of evil men encircles 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 my bones; they stare and gloat over 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 and 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 You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly 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 wild dogs.
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 mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
22 Kam nawkamyanawk khaeah na hmin to ka thuih moe, kaminawk salakah nang kang pakoeh han.
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
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 descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
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 or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
25 Kami rangpui salakah nang to kang pakoeh moe, Anih zii kaminawk hmaa ah lokkamhaih to ka sak han.
My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
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 poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May 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 will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
28 Ukhaih prae loe Angraeng ih ni: anih loe prae kaminawk boih ukkung ah oh.
For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules 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 of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
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 will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
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 will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.
