Saam 35

1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka lokaek kaminawk to nang mah aek ah loe; kai tuh kaminawk to nang mah tuh ah.

A Psalme of Dauid. Pleade thou my cause, O Lord, with them that striue with me: fight thou against them, that fight against me.

2 Angvaenghaih hoi pakaahaih to la ah loe, kai abomh hanah angthawk ah.

Lay hand vpon the shielde and buckler, and stand vp for mine helpe.

3 Tayae to aphong ah loe, kai pacaekthlaek han patom kaminawk to pakaa khoep ah: ka hinghaih pakhra khaeah, Kai loe nang pahlongkung ni, tiah thui paeh.

Bring out also the speare and stop the way against them, that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.

4 Ka hinghaih boeng hanah pakrong kaminawk to palungboeng o nasoe loe, azatpaw o nasoe: kai amro han khokhan kaminawk to azatpawhaih hoiah hnukbangah amlaem o let nasoe.

Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mine hurt.

5 Nihcae loe takhi mah hmuh ih tavai baktiah om o nasoe loe, Angraeng ih van kami mah nihcae to haek nasoe.

Let them be as chaffe before the winde, and let the Angel of the Lord scatter them.

6 Nihcae caehhaih loklam to khoving nasoe loe, loklam amnaesak nasoe: Angraeng ih van kami mah nihcae to pacaekthlaek nasoe.

Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the Angel of the Lord persecute them.

7 Nihcae loe takung om ai ah tamquta hoi kai hanah palok zang o, takung om ai ah ka hinghaih paro hanah tangqom to takaeh o.

For without cause they haue hid the pit and their net for me: without cause haue they digged a pit for my soule.

8 To baktih kami nuiah poek ai pui hoiah raihaih to pha pae nasoe; angmah payang ih palok pongah angmah to aman nasoe: to amrohaih tangqom thungah angmah to krah nasoe.

Let destruction come vpon him at vnwares, and let his net, that he hath laid priuilie, take him: let him fall into the same destruction.

9 To naah ka hinghaih mah Angraeng ah anghoe ueloe, anih pahlonghaih pongah anghoe tih.

Then my soule shalbe ioyfull in the Lord: it shall reioyce in his saluation.

10 To naah ka huhnawk boih mah, thacak kami ban thung hoiah amtang kami pahlongkung, ue, paro thaih kami ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk pahlongkung, Angraeng, mi maw nang baktih kaom? tiah thui o tih.

All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like vnto thee, which deliuerest the poore from him, that is too strong for him! yea, the poore and him that is in miserie, from him that spoyleth him!

11 Amsawn hnukung ah angdoe kaminawk loe angthawk o moe, ka panoek ai ih hmuennawk to ka nuiah amtik o.

Cruell witnesses did rise vp: they asked of me things that I knewe not.

12 Ka hinghaih paro hanah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o.

They rewarded me euill for good, to haue spoyled my soule.

13 Toe kai loe nihcae ngannat o naah, buri kazii to kang zaeng moe, buhzah lawkthuihaih hoiah poek ka pahnaem pacoengah, palungthin tang hoiah lawk ka thuih.

Yet I, when they were sicke, I was clothed with a sacke: I humbled my soule with fasting: and my praier was turned vpon my bosome.

14 Nihcae to kam pui hoi kaimah ih nawkamya baktiah ka poek: kami mah amno duek naah palungset baktih toengah, palungset hoiah ka ngam sut.

I behaued my selfe as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled my selfe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.

15 Toe kai amtim naah loe nihcae anghoe o moe, nawnto amkhueng o; ue, kai patoem kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o, nihcae to ka panoek ai; nihcae loe anghak ai ah kai ang pasik o:

But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them selues together: the abiects assembled themselues against me, and knewe not: they tare me and ceased not,

16 kasae kaminawk mah poihkung ah minawk pahnuih o thuih baktih toengah, kai han haa ang kaek o thuih.

With the false skoffers at bankets, gnashing their teeth against me.

17 Aw Angraeng, nasetto maw nang khet sut han vop? Amrosak thaih nihcae ban thung hoiah ka hinghaih na pahlong paeh loe, hae kaipui ban thung hoiah ka palung koek ih ka hinghaih hae pahlong ah.

Lord, how long wilt thou beholde this? deliuer my soule from their tumult, euen my desolate soule from the lions.

18 Rangpui amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah nang khaeah anghoehaih lok to ka thuih, kaminawk salakah nang kang pakoeh han.

So will I giue thee thankes in a great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

19 Amsoem ai ah ka misanawk mah ka nuiah anghoe o thuih hmah nasoe; takung om ai ah kai hnuma kaminawk mah mik na pakhrip o thuih hmah nasoe.

Let not them that are mine enemies, vniustly reioyce ouer mee, neyther let them winke with the eye, that hate mee without a cause.

20 Nihcae loe angdaehhaih to lok thui o ai; nihcae loe prae thungah amding rue ah khosah kaminawk athlaeng thai hanah pacaeng o.

For they speake not as friendes: but they imagine deceitfull woordes against the quiet of the lande.

21 Ue, nihcae loe pakha angh o moe, Aha, aha, aimacae ih mik hoi roe a hnuk o boeh, tiah a thuih o.

And they gaped on mee with their mouthes, saying, Aha, aha, our eye hath seene.

22 Aw Angraeng, hae baktih hmuennawk hae na hnuk boeh pongah, om taak duem hmah: Aw Angraeng, kangthla ah na om taak hmah.

Thou hast seene it, O Lord: keepe not silence: be not farre from me, O Lord.

23 Ka Sithaw hoi Angraeng, kai kawng pongah lokcaek hanah, anglawt loe, angthawk ah!

Arise and wake to my iudgement, euen to my cause, my God, and my Lord.

24 Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na toenghaih hoiah lok na takroek pae ah; ka nuiah nihcae mah anghoehaih tawn o hmah nasoe.

Iudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousnesse, and let them not reioyce ouer mee.

25 Nihcae mah palung thung hoiah Aah, aicae koehhaih loe acung boeh, tiah thui o hmah nasoe: anih loe a paaeh o boeh, tiah thui o hmah nasoe.

Let them not say in their hearts, O our soule reioyce: neither let them say, We haue deuoured him.

26 Karai ka tonghaih nuiah anghoe kaminawk loe azatpaw o nasoe loe, dawnraihaih hoiah om o nasoe: kai amoek thuih kaminawk loe azatpaw o nasoe loe, ahminsethaih hoiah om o nasoe.

Let them bee confounded, and put to shame together, that reioyce at mine hurt: let them bee clothed with confusion and shame, that lift vp themselues against me.

27 Ka toenghaih pongah anghoe kaminawk loe, anghoehaih laa to sah o nasoe loe, nawm o nasoe: ue, Angmah ih tamna qoeng tahanghaih koeh Angraeng loe, lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah thui o poe nasoe.

But let them be ioyful and glad, that loue my righteousnesse: yea, let them say alway, Let the Lord be magnified, which loueth the prosperitie of his seruant.

28 Ka palai mah loe na toenghaih ni thui ueloe, athun qui nang pakoehhaih lok to thui tih.

And my tongue shall vtter thy righteousnesse, and thy praise euery day.
