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 Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
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.
Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into 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.
Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
4 Kai mah, Aw Angraeng, na tahmen raeh: na nuiah zaehaih ka sak boeh pongah, ka hinghaih ngantuisak ah, tiah ka naa.
I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin 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 say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
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 came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
7 Kai hnuma kaminawk boih mah nawnto kai kasae ang thuih o: kai nganbawh kana paek hanah a poek o.
All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8 Anih loe nathaih kasae mah phak thuih boeh pongah, angsonghaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk let mak ai boeh, tiah ang naa o.
A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
9 Ue, ka oep koek ih, kai ih takaw kacaa, ampui kangzong mah doeh, kai hae khok hoiah ang pathuih boeh.
Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
10 Toe Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ka sak pathok hanah, na tahmen raeh loe, na pathawk ah.
And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
11 Ka misanawk mah na pazawk o ai pongah, ka nuiah anghoehaih na tawnh, tito ka panoek.
By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
12 Ka ciim pongah kai hae nang bomh, anih hmaa ah dungzan khoek to nang om thui tih.
As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
13 Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih om nasoe. Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
