Saam 33
1 Nangcae katoeng kaminawk, Angraeng ah anghoe oh: katoeng kaminawk loe saphawhaih laasak han krak.
REJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Toenghaih hoiah Angraeng to pakoeh oh: aqui hato kaom katoeng tamoi kruek hoiah anih to pakoeh oh.
Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Anih khaeah laa kangtha to sah oh; mongkah uenghaih hoiah kanawm ah anih to pakoeh oh.
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 Angraeng ih lok loe toeng; anih ih toknawk boih loe toenghaih hoiah ni sak.
For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 Anih loe toenghaih hoiah khokhan moe, kamsoem ah lokcaekhaih to a koeh, long loe Angraeng hoihaih hoiah koi.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 Vannawk loe Angraeng ih lok hoiah sak moe, van ah kaom hmuennawk boih doeh a pakha thung ih takhi hoiah ni a sak.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Anih mah tuipui ih tuinawk to nawnto acuu moe, kathuk tuipui doeh pakhuenghaih ahmuen ah a suek.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Long boih mah Angraeng to zii o nasoe: long kaminawk boih mah anih to khingza o nasoe.
Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Tipongah tih nahaeloe anih loe thuih baktiah angcoengsak; a paek ih lok baktiah ohsak.
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk lokramhaih to anih mah paro pae: kaminawk atimhaih doeh a phraek pae.
The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 Angraeng khokhanhaih loe dungzan khoek to cak, a poekhaih loe angzo han koi caanawk khoek to om poe tih.
The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Angmah ih qawktoep hanah a qoih ih kaminawk hoi Sithaw loe Angraeng ni, tiah tapom acaengnawk loe tahamhoih o.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Angraeng mah van hoi khet tathuk naah, kaminawk to hnuk boih.
The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 A ohhaih ahmuen hoiah khet naah, long ah kaom hmuennawk to panoek boih.
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 Angraeng mah kami boih hanah poekhaih palungthin to paek; nihcae mah sak ih hmuennawk Angraeng mah panoek boih.
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 Kawbaktih siangpahrang doeh kanoih parai misatuh kaminawk mah pahlong ai: thacak kami doeh thacakhaih mah loisak ai.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 Hrang mah ngancuemhaih paek thai ai: a thacakhaih mah mi doeh pahlong thai ai.
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Khenah, Angraeng ih mik loe angmah zithaih tawn kami, a palungnathaih oep kaminawk nuiah oh;
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 duekhaih thung hoiah nihcae ih pakhra to anih mah pahlong moe, khokhaa naah nihcae hingsak hanah a khetzawn.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Aicae hinghaih mah Angraeng to zing: anih loe aicae bomkung hoi angvaenhaih aphaw ah oh.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 Kaciim anih ih ahmin to a oep o pongah, aicae ih palungthin loe anih ah anghoehaih a tawnh o.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Aw Angraeng, nang kang oep o baktih toengah, na palungnathaih kaicae nuiah om nasoe.
Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
