Saam 60
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Miktam. Anih ih bungmu loe lokmaihaih sak ih Lili pawk. Patuk hanah, David mah phawh ih Saam laa. Aram Naharaim hoi Aram Zobah to misa a tuk moe, Joab amlaem pacoengah paloi khaw ohhaih ahmuen ah Edom kami sang, hathlai hnetto hum nathuem ih. Aw Sithaw, kaicae hae nang pahnawt sut boeh, kaicae nam hetsak phang boeh moe, palung na phui boeh; kaicae khaeah angqoi let ah!
“For the leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!
2 Long to nang huensak moe, na koihsak boeh; kakoinawk to pacong let ah, anghuen o khing vop.
Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
3 Nangmah ih kaminawk to karai hmuen na tongsak boeh; anghmanghaih misurtui to nang naeksak boeh.
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4 Loktang lok ah oh pongah, nang zithaih tawn kaminawk khaeah, payang han ih pazawkhaih kahni to na paek. (Selah)
Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
5 Nang palung kaminawk loisak hanah, ka lok tahngai pae ah loe, na bantang ban hoiah pahlong ah.
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
6 Sithaw loe angmah ih hmuen ciim hoiah lokthuih boeh pongah, kang hoe han, Shekem vangpui to ka taphraek moe, Sukkot azawn to ka tah han.
God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead loe kai ih ni, Manasseh doeh kai ih ni; Ephraim loe ka lu thacakhaih ah oh moe, Judah loe ka loihhaih ah oh.
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
8 Moab loe kam saehhaih sabae kathuk ah oh; Edom nuiah khokpanai ka vah han; Philistin prae nuiah pazawkhaih hoiah ka hangh han, tiah a thuih.
Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
9 Mi mah maw kacak vangpui ah na caeh haih tih? Mi mah maw Edom ah na hoi tih?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Aw Sithaw, kaicae pahnawt kami loe, nang na ai maw? Aw Sithaw, kaicae misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto caehsak ai kami loe, nang na ai maw?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
11 Kami abomhaih loe azom pui ah oh pongah, raihaih thung hoiah ka loih o thai hanah na bomh ah.
Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
12 Sithaw rang hoiah ka pazawk o hanah, anih mah kaicae ih misanawk to khok hoiah atii pae tih.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
