Saam 36
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Angraeng ih tamna David ih Saam laa. Kasae kami zaehaih mah ka palung thungah lok ang thuih: Anih loe mik ah Sithaw zithaih roe tawn ai.
For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Panuet thok angmah ih zaehaih to hnu ai, angmah hoi angmah to kahoih baktiah a hnuk.
For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
3 Anih pakha thung ih loknawk loe sethaih hoi alinghaih khue ni oh: hoihaih paek thaih palunghahaih to a caehtaak boeh.
The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
4 Anih loe iihhaih ahmuen ah oh naah mataeng doeh kasae khue ni poek; kahoih ai loklam to a pazui, sethaih tuinuen to panuet ai.
He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
5 Aw Angraeng, na palungnathaih mah vannawk to phak moe, na oep thohhaih loe tamai khoek to phak boeh.
O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
6 Na toenghaih loe mae pui baktiah oh; na lokcaekhaih loe thuk parai: Aw Angraeng, nang mah ni kami hoi taw ih moinawk to na khetzawn.
Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
7 Aw Sithaw, nam lunghaih loe kawkruk maw hoih! To pongah ni kaminawk loe na pakhraeh tahlip ah abuep o.
How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.
8 Na im thung ih angraenghaih mah nihcae to palung khuek tihsak ueloe, nang hoehaih vapui tui to nihcae han na naesak tih.
They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
9 Hinghaih tuibap loe nang khaeah ni oh: na aanghaih mah kaicae han aanghaih to paek.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
10 Nang panoek kaminawk khaeah nam lunghaih to omsak poeh loe, poek toeng kaminawk khaeah na toenghaih to omsak poe ah.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Amoek kami ih khok to kai khaeah angzosak hmah, kasae kami ih ban mah doeh kai hae na tahruet hmah nasoe.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
12 Kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk loe amtimh o: nihcae loe amtimh o moe, angthawk o thai ai boeh.
There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
