Saam 4
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, katoeng Neginoth hoi sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw ka toenghaih Sithaw, kang kawk naah na oi pae ah: dawnraihaih hoi ka oh naah monghaih nang paek; lawk ka thuih naah, tahmenhaih hoiah nang tahngaih pae.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Aw kaminawk, ka lensawkhaih hae nasetto maw azat nang paw o sak han vop? Nasetto maw avang ai hmuen to na palung o moe, lok amlaihaih na pakrong o han vop? (Selah)
You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 Toe Sithaw panoek kami loe Sithaw mah Angmah hanah pahoe boeh, tiah panoek oh: anih to ka kawk naah Angraeng mah na pathim tih.
But know that YHWH works wonders for his godly one; YHWH will hear when I call to him.
4 Tasoeh takuenhaih hoi om oh loe, zaehaih sah o hmah: iihkhun nuiah nang song naah, anghngai o duem ah loe, palung hoiah khopoek oh. (Selah)
Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (Selah)
5 Katoeng hmuenpaekhaih to sah oh loe, Angraeng to oep oh.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in YHWH.
6 Mi mah maw aicae han kahoih hmuen patuek tih? tiah thui kami paroeai oh. Angraeng, na mikhmai aanghaih to kaicae nuiah amtuengsak ah.
Many say, "Who will show us any good?" YHWH, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 Cang to hak o moe, misurthaih hak o nathuem ih nihcae anghoehaih pongah doeh, ka palung thungah anghoehaih pop kue ah nang suek pae.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 Kai loe monghaih hoiah kang song moe, ka iih han boeh: Angraeng, nang mah khue ni, ngan nang cuemsak.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, YHWH alone, make me live in safety.
