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.
To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2 Panuet thok angmah ih zaehaih to hnu ai, angmah hoi angmah to kahoih baktiah a hnuk.
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
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] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — 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.
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
5 Aw Angraeng, na palungnathaih mah vannawk to phak moe, na oep thohhaih loe tamai khoek to phak boeh.
O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto 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 mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
7 Aw Sithaw, nam lunghaih loe kawkruk maw hoih! To pongah ni kaminawk loe na pakhraeh tahlip ah abuep o.
How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
8 Na im thung ih angraenghaih mah nihcae to palung khuek tihsak ueloe, nang hoehaih vapui tui to nihcae han na naesak tih.
They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
9 Hinghaih tuibap loe nang khaeah ni oh: na aanghaih mah kaicae han aanghaih to paek.
For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
10 Nang panoek kaminawk khaeah nam lunghaih to omsak poeh loe, poek toeng kaminawk khaeah na toenghaih to omsak poe ah.
Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of 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 a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
12 Kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk loe amtimh o: nihcae loe amtimh o moe, angthawk o thai ai boeh.
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
