Saam 5
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hoi Nehiloth hanah; David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka loknawk hae tahngai ah loe, ka hanghaih lok hae na poek paeh.
For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.
2 Ka siangpahrang hoi ka Sithaw, lawk kang thuih baktih toengah, ka hanghaih lok hae na tahngai pae ah.
Attend to my loud cry for help, my king and my God.
3 Angraeng, akhawn bangah ka lok nang tahngai pae; akhawn bangah, kang khet tahang moe, lawk ka thuih han.
When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign.
4 Nang loe zae sakhaih bangah anghoe haih Sithaw na ai ni: kasae kami loe nang hoi nawnto om mak ai.
For you are no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.
5 Kamthu loe na hmaa ah angdoe thai mak ai: hmuen sahpazae kaminawk boih to na hnukma.
No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.
6 Amsawnlok thui kaminawk to nam rosak; athii anghae kami hoi aling thaih kaminawk loe Sithaw mah panuet.
You destroy all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.
7 Toe kai loe pop parai na palungnathaih hoiah na imthung ah kang zoh han; nang khingyahaih hoiah na tempul kaciim thungah kang bok han.
But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.
8 Aw Angraeng, ka misanawk oh o pongah, na toenghaih bangah na hoi ah; ka hmaa ah na loklam to patoengh ah.
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before me.
9 Nihcae ih pakha ah oephaih om ai; nihcae poekhaih palungthin loe paroeai set o; nihcae ih aqawnh loe kam-ong sut taprong ah oh moe, palai hoiah amsawnlok to a thuih o.
For their mouth is a stranger to truth, their heart is a pit of destruction. Their throat is a wide open grave, their tongue the smooth tongue of the hypocrite.
10 Aw Angraeng, nihcae to amrosak ah; nihcae sak atimhaih loe angmacae amtimhaih ah om nasoe; nihcae loe na misa ah oh o, zaehaih paroeai sak o boeh pongah, nihcae to haek lai ah.
Condemn them, God; let their schemes bring them down to the ground. For their numberless crimes thrust them down for playing the rebel against you.
11 Toe nang amha kaminawk loe anghoe o nasoe: nihcae to na pakaa pongah, nihcae loe anghoehaih hoiah laa sah o nasoe: na hmin palung kaminawk doeh nang ah anghoe o nasoe.
But let all who take refuge in you ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult in you.
12 Aw Angraeng, katoeng kaminawk to tahamhoihaih na paek ueloe, na tahmenhaih hoiah nihcae to pakaa tih.
For you give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favour protects them.
