Saam 28
1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka lungsong, nang ni kang kawk; pathim ai ah om hmah; nang pathim ai nahaeloe, tangqom thungah krah nihcae baktiah ni ka om tih.
A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.
2 Na hmuenciim bangah ban ka payangh moe, nang kang kawk naah, tahmen kang hnikhaih lok to na tahngai paeh.
Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
3 Angmacae imtaeng kaminawk khaeah angdaehhaih lok thui kami, palung thungah loe sethaih poek kami, kasae kaminawk, sethaih sah kaminawk hoi nawnto na caeh haih hmah.
Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.
4 Nihcae khaeah a sak o ih tuinuen baktih, a sak o ih sethaih baktih toengah, pathok let ah: ban hoi a sak o ih tok baktih toengah, paek ah loe lokcaek ah.
Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.
5 Angraeng ih toknawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk to tidoeh dawncang ai ah a oh o pongah, to kaminawk to anih mah amrosak tih, nihcae loe angthawk o let mak ai boeh.
Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.
6 Tahmen ka hnikhaih loknawk anih mah ang thaih pae pongah, Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe.
Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.
7 Angraeng loe ka thacakhaih hoi ka buephaih ah oh; ka palungthin mah anih to oep pongah, anih mah ang bomh: to pongah ka plungthin anghoehaih hoiah koi; anih to laa hoiah ka pakoeh han.
The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.
8 Angraeng loe angmah ih kaminawk hanah thacakhaih ah oh; situi a bawh ih kami hanah thacak pahlonghaih ah oh.
The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.
9 Nangmah ih kaminawk to pahlong ah loe, na qawktoep kaminawk to tahamhoihaih paek ah: nihcae to khenzawn ah loe dungzan khoek to toep ah.
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
