Saam 55
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Neginoth ah sak han koi, David ih masakil. Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih hoi angqoi taak hmah.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Na tahngai pae ah loe pathim ah: poek anghmang sut moe,
Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan;
3 ka misa ih lok hoi kasae kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih pongah, ka hang khing boeh; nihcae loe a sakpazae o haih to ka nuiah amtik o, kai palung ang phui o thuih moe, ang hnukma o.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 Ka palung loe athung ah patangkhang; duek zithaih mah ang kraeng khoep boeh.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Ka nuiah zithaih hoi tasoehhaih to phak moe, kai loe zithaih mah muek khoep boeh.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 To naah, Aw pahuu baktiah pakhraeh ka tawnh soe nahaeloe, kangthla ah ka zawk moe, amding rue ah ka oh han boeh!
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Khenah, kangthla ah kam het moe, praezaek ah ka oh ving han. (Selah)
Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Takhi pui hoi takhi sae to loih hanah, karangah ka cawnh han, tiah ka thuih.
I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.
9 Aw Angraeng, nihcae amrosak hanah, lok to anghmangsak ah; vangpui thungah lokpunghaih hoi angzoehhaih to ka hnuk boeh.
Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Nihcae loe aqum athun sipae taengah caeh o; athung ah loe kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih hoi qahhaih to oh.
Day and night they go about upon the walls thereof: iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Kasae sakhaih vangpui thungah oh o, lampuinawk ah kaom pacaekthlaekhaih hoi alinghaih loe boeng thai ai boeh.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: oppression and guile depart not from her streets.
12 Kai pahnui thuih kami loe kai ih misa na ai ni, kai ih misa ah om cadoeh ka pauep thai tih; angmah hoi angmah amkoeh moe, kai hnuma kami doeh kai ih misa na ai ni, kai ih misa ah om nahaeloe, anih to ka yae ving han:
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 to kami loe, kai hoi kanghmong, kam pui, ampui kangzong ah kaom, nang ni.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 Kaicae loe kahoih lok to ka thuih o moe, kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw im ah ka caeh o.
We took sweet counsel together, we walked in the house of God with the throng.
15 Sethaih loe nihcae ohhaih ahmuen, nihcae salakah oh pongah, nihcae to duekhaih mah naeh nasoe loe, hell thungah kahingah caeh o nasoe. (Sheol h7585)
Let death come suddenly upon them, let them go down alive into the pit: for wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Toe kai loe, Sithaw to ka kawk han; Angraeng mah na pahlong tih.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Duembang, akhawnbang hoi athun ah, lawkthuihaih hoiah ka hangh; to naah anih mah ka lok na thaih pae tih.
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan: and he shall hear my voice.
18 Kai tuh kami loe pop o parai pognah, kai ang tuk o naah, anih mah monghaih hoiah ka hinghaih ang pahlong.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for they were many [that strove] with me.
19 Canghnii hoiah kaom poe Sithaw mah thaih naah, nihcae to pacaekthlaek tih. (Selah) Nihcae loe amkhraihaih om ai pongah, Sithaw zii o ai.
God shall hear, and answer them, even he that abideth of old, (Selah) [the men] who have no changes, and who fear not God.
20 To baktih kami loe a thuih ih lok baktiah om ai, angmah hoi angdaeh ampui to misa ah suek.
He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he hath profaned his covenant.
21 Pakha hoi tacawt a thuih ih loknawk loe samdai baktiah amnae, toe palung thungah loe misatuk han ih khue ni a poek; a lok loe moithawk pongah naem kue, toe nihcae loe sumsen hoi kami hum hanah oh o coek.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Nangmah ih hmuenzit to Angraeng khaeah amtii ah, anih mah na bomh tih; katoeng kami loe natuek naah doeh amtimsak mak ai.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Toe Aw Sithaw, nang mah nihcae to tangqom thungah pakhrah tih; athii anghae kami hoi aling thaih kaminawk loe, a hing o haih ahap mataeng doeh hing o mak ai; toe kai loe, nang khaeah ni ka buep han.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
