Saam 41
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Kamtang tahmenhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih: raihaih tongh naah Angraeng mah anih to pahlong tih.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.
2 Angraeng mah anih to toep tih, anih to hingsak pongah, long nuiah tahamhoihaih hnu tih: Angraeng mah anih to a misanawk khaeah paek mak ai.
The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.
3 Ngannat naah Angraeng mah om thui tih: ngannat thung Angraeng mah anih ih iihkhunnawk boih to toep pae tih.
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
4 Kai mah, Aw Angraeng, na tahmen raeh: na nuiah zaehaih ka sak boeh pongah, ka hinghaih ngantuisak ah, tiah ka naa.
I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
5 Ka misanawk mah, Anih loe natuek naa ah maw dueh ueloe, ahmin to anghmaa tih? tiah kasae ang thuih o.
My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”
6 Kai hnuk hanah anih angzoh naah, amsoem ai lok to a thuih: anih ih palungthin loe sethaih khue talawk moe, tasa bang a caeh naah to kawng to a thuih.
My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.
7 Kai hnuma kaminawk boih mah nawnto kai kasae ang thuih o: kai nganbawh kana paek hanah a poek o.
All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:
8 Anih loe nathaih kasae mah phak thuih boeh pongah, angsonghaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk let mak ai boeh, tiah ang naa o.
“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”
9 Ue, ka oep koek ih, kai ih takaw kacaa, ampui kangzong mah doeh, kai hae khok hoiah ang pathuih boeh.
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 Toe Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ka sak pathok hanah, na tahmen raeh loe, na pathawk ah.
But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 Ka misanawk mah na pazawk o ai pongah, ka nuiah anghoehaih na tawnh, tito ka panoek.
By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Ka ciim pongah kai hae nang bomh, anih hmaa ah dungzan khoek to nang om thui tih.
In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.
13 Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih om nasoe. Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
