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.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] In you, YHWH, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Na naa patueng ah loe, karangah na pahlong ah; ka buephaih lungsong ah omh loe, kai pahlong hanah kacak sipae ah om ah.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 Nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang hawkhaih ah na oh pongah, na hmin hoi na caeh haih ah loe, na zae ah.
For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake 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.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 Ka muithla na ban ah kang tathlang; Aw loktang Angraeng Sithaw, kai nang krang boeh.
Into your hands I commit my spirit. You redeem me, YHWH, God of truth.
6 Tidoeh angcoeng ai hmuen to ka hnukma, toe Angraeng to ka oep.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in YHWH.
7 Na palungnathaih ah anghoehaih hoi ka oh han: ka raihaih nang hnuk pae moe, ka pakhra patangkhanghaih nang panoek pae;
I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 misa khaeah nang paek ai moe, ka khoknawk hae ahmuen kahnaep ah nang doetsak.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Aw Angraeng, raihaih ka tong pongah, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh: palungset loiah ka mik, muithla hoi zoknawk doeh amro boih boeh.
Have mercy on me, YHWH, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
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.
For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones waste away.
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.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
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 am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
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.
For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Toe Aw Angaeng, nang ah ni kam ha: nang loe ka Sithaw ni, tiah ka thuih.
But I trust in you, YHWH. I said, "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 times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Na tamna nuiah na mikhmai pansak raeh loe, na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
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)
Let me not be disappointed, YHWH, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Amoekhaih lok, hnaphnaehaih hoi katoeng kaminawk khet patoekhaih lokthui kami, amsawnlok thuihaih pahninawk to angsumh o nasoe.
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
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.
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the descendants of Adam.
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.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Kacak vangpui ah dawnrai tahmenhaih amtuengsak pongah, Angraeng khae tahamhoihaih om nasoe.
Praise be to YHWH, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a besieged city.
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.
As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
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.
Oh love YHWH, all you his faithful ones. YHWH preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
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 let your heart take courage, all you who hope in YHWH.
