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.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time 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 keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.
3 Ngannat naah Angraeng mah om thui tih: ngannat thung Angraeng mah anih ih iihkhunnawk boih to toep pae tih.
The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.
4 Kai mah, Aw Angraeng, na tahmen raeh: na nuiah zaehaih ka sak boeh pongah, ka hinghaih ngantuisak ah, tiah ka naa.
Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.
5 Ka misanawk mah, Anih loe natuek naa ah maw dueh ueloe, ahmin to anghmaa tih? tiah kasae ang thuih o.
Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?
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.
And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.
7 Kai hnuma kaminawk boih mah nawnto kai kasae ang thuih o: kai nganbawh kana paek hanah a poek o.
All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.
8 Anih loe nathaih kasae mah phak thuih boeh pongah, angsonghaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk let mak ai boeh, tiah ang naa o.
A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.
9 Ue, ka oep koek ih, kai ih takaw kacaa, ampui kangzong mah doeh, kai hae khok hoiah ang pathuih boeh.
Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.
10 Toe Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ka sak pathok hanah, na tahmen raeh loe, na pathawk ah.
Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.
11 Ka misanawk mah na pazawk o ai pongah, ka nuiah anghoehaih na tawnh, tito ka panoek.
By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.
12 Ka ciim pongah kai hae nang bomh, anih hmaa ah dungzan khoek to nang om thui tih.
And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.
13 Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih om nasoe. Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.
