Saam 31
1 Katoeng zaehoikung hanah, David ih saam laa. Aw Angraeng, nang khaeah ni ka buep, azathaih na tongsak hmah; na toenghaih hoiah pahlong ah.
A psalm of David. For the music director. Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't let me ever be humiliated. Save me, because you always do what is right.
2 Na naa patueng ah loe, karangah na pahlong ah; ka buephaih lungsong ah omh loe, kai pahlong hanah kacak sipae ah om ah.
Please listen to me, and be quick to rescue me. Be my rock of protection, my strong fortress of safety.
3 Nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang hawkhaih ah na oh pongah, na hmin hoi na caeh haih ah loe, na zae ah.
You are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your reputation, please lead me and guide me.
4 Ka hmaa ah amtung sut thaang hoiah na loisak ah, tipongah tih nahaeloe nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh.
Help me escape from the hidden net that they set to trap me, for you are the one who protects me.
5 Ka muithla na ban ah kang tathlang; Aw loktang Angraeng Sithaw, kai nang krang boeh.
I put myself in your hands. Save me, Lord, for you are a trustworthy God.
6 Tidoeh angcoeng ai hmuen to ka hnukma, toe Angraeng to ka oep.
I hate those who devote themselves to pointless idols; I trust in the Lord.
7 Na palungnathaih ah anghoehaih hoi ka oh han: ka raihaih nang hnuk pae moe, ka pakhra patangkhanghaih nang panoek pae;
I will celebrate, happy in your love that never fails, for you have seen the problems I face and have paid attention to my troubles.
8 misa khaeah nang paek ai moe, ka khoknawk hae ahmuen kahnaep ah nang doetsak.
You haven't handed me over to my enemies; you have set me free.
9 Aw Angraeng, raihaih ka tong pongah, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh: palungset loiah ka mik, muithla hoi zoknawk doeh amro boih boeh.
Be kind to me Lord, for I am upset. I can hardly see from so much crying. I am completely wasting away.
10 Palungset hoiah ka hinghaih hae ka laemsak moe, saning paroeai thung khuiqahhaih hoiah ka oh: ka sakpazaehaih pongah ka thazok sut moe, ka huhnawk doeh qong boeh.
Grief is killing me; my life is cut short by sadness; I am falling apart because of my troubles; I am worn to the bone.
11 Ka misanawk hoi ka imtaengnawk mah kai ang hnap o, ampui angzongnawk mah doeh kai ang zit o: tasa bangah kai hnu kaminawk mah ang cawn o taak boih.
I am ridiculed by my enemies, particularly by my neighbors. My friends dread meeting me; people who see me in the street run the other way.
12 Kai loe poek han koi kaom ai kadueh kami baktiah ang pahnet o: kai loe kakoi long laom baktiah ni ka oh boeh.
I have been forgotten as if I were dead; I'm ignored like a broken pot.
13 Paroeai kaminawk mah thuih o ih kasae lok khue ni ka thaih: ka taengah om kaminawk loe zitthok kami ah ni oh o boih: nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, ka hinghaih lak hanah khokhan o.
I hear many people whispering about me; terror surrounds me. They plot together against me, planning to kill me.
14 Toe Aw Angaeng, nang ah ni kam ha: nang loe ka Sithaw ni, tiah ka thuih.
But I put my trust in you, Lord, saying, “You are my God!”
15 Kai ih atuenawk loe na ban thungah ni oh; ka misanawk hoi kai pacaekthlaek kaminawk ban thung hoiah na loisak ah.
My whole life is in your hands! Save me from those who hate me and persecute me!
16 Na tamna nuiah na mikhmai pansak raeh loe, na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah.
May you look kindly on me, your servant. Save me because of your trustworthy love.
17 Aw Angraeng, na zatsak hmah; nang khaeah lawk ka thuih pongah, kasae kaminawk to azatpaw o nasoe, nihcae loe taprong thungah anghngai o duem nasoe. (Sheol h7585)
Lord, don't let me be disgraced, for I'm calling out to you. Instead let the wicked be disgraced, let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
18 Amoekhaih lok, hnaphnaehaih hoi katoeng kaminawk khet patoekhaih lokthui kami, amsawnlok thuihaih pahninawk to angsumh o nasoe.
Shut the mouths of those who tell lies against good people—those who speak contemptuously in their pride and arrogance!
19 Nang zii kaminawk hanah na suek pae moe, kaminawk mikhnuk ah, na nuiah amha kaminawk khaeah na sak pae ih, na hoihaih loe kawkruk maw len.
How wonderful is the goodness you have reserved for those who honor you! In front of everyone you give this goodness to those who come to you for help.
20 Kaminawk ih amoekhaih thung hoi loisak hanah, panoek thai ai na ohhaih ahmuen thungah nihcae to na hawk boeh: misa koeh lok apaehhaih palai thung hoi pakaa hanah nihcae to, panoek thai ai na ohhaih ahmuen thungah na suek.
You shelter and protect them with your presence, far from their enemies who scheme against them. You keep them safe from attacks and accusations.
21 Kacak vangpui ah dawnrai tahmenhaih amtuengsak pongah, Angraeng khae tahamhoihaih om nasoe.
Bless the Lord, for he has shown me his wonderful trustworthy love when my city was being attacked
22 Kai loe na hmaa hoi kang thla ving boeh, tiah tasoehhaih hoiah lok ka thuih, toe nang kang kawk naah, tahmen kang hnikhaih lok to nang tahngai pae.
Terrified I cried out, “I am being destroyed right in front of you!” But you heard my cry when I called out for you to help me.
23 Anih ih kaciim kaminawk boih, Angraeng to palung oh! Angraeng loe oep kaom kaminawk to khetzawn, amoek kaminawk hanah loe kasae sakhaih tangqum to kating ah a paek.
Love the Lord, all you who trust in him! The Lord takes care of those who trust him, but he pays back in full those who are arrogant.
24 Nangcae Angraeng oephaih tawn kaminawk boih, thazok o hmah, to tiah nahaeloe anih mah na palungthin tha na cak o sak tih.
Be strong and be confident, all you who put your hope in the Lord.
