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 the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the 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 preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to 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 will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his 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, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Ka misanawk mah, Anih loe natuek naa ah maw dueh ueloe, ahmin to anghmaa tih? tiah kasae ang thuih o.
My enemies speak evil of me, 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 he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
7 Kai hnuma kaminawk boih mah nawnto kai kasae ang thuih o: kai nganbawh kana paek hanah a poek o.
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 Anih loe nathaih kasae mah phak thuih boeh pongah, angsonghaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk let mak ai boeh, tiah ang naa o.
An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.
9 Ue, ka oep koek ih, kai ih takaw kacaa, ampui kangzong mah doeh, kai hae khok hoiah ang pathuih boeh.
Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
10 Toe Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ka sak pathok hanah, na tahmen raeh loe, na pathawk ah.
But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 Ka misanawk mah na pazawk o ai pongah, ka nuiah anghoehaih na tawnh, tito ka panoek.
By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Ka ciim pongah kai hae nang bomh, anih hmaa ah dungzan khoek to nang om thui tih.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih om nasoe. Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.
