Saam 62
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Jeduthun ah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Tangtang ni, ka hinghaih mah laisaep ai ah Sithaw to zing; kai pahlonghaih doeh anih khae hoiah ni angzoh.
God is the only one who can give me peace in my inner being, and he is the one who saves me [from my enemies].
2 Anih khue ni ka lungsong hoi ka pahlonghaih ah oh; anih loe kai ih sipae ah oh pongah, mawnh paraihaih ka tawn mak ai.
Only he is like an [overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he will be [like] a shelter, [with the result that] I will never be defeated [MET].
3 Kami maeto to nasetto maw na tuk o han? Kai loe amtimh tom sipae, angkhaa thai ai khongkha baktiah ni ka oh boeh, nangcae boih mah nasetto thungah maw nang hum o han vop?
When will you, [my enemies], stop attacking me [RHQ]? I feel that I am [as useless against you as] a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence [MET].
4 Nihcae loe ka ohhaih hmuensang hoiah kai pakhrak hanah poek o; lok amlai o; pakha hoiah tahamhoihaih to paek o, toe palung thung hoiah loe kasae to a thuih o. (Selah)
My enemies plan to remove me from my important position so that people no longer honor me. They delight in telling lies. They bless people by what they say [MTY], but in their inner beings they curse [those people].
5 Ka hinghaih loe, laisaep ai ah Sithaw khue ni zing; ka oephaih doeh anih khae hoiah ni angzoh.
God is the only one who gives me peace in my inner being; he is the one whom I confidently expect [to help me].
6 Anih khue ni ka lungsong hoi ka pahlonghaih ah oh; anih loe kai ih sipae ah oh pongah, mawnh paraihaih ka tawn mak ai.
Only he is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I can be safe] [MET]; he is [like] a shelter, and [as a result] I will never be defeated.
7 Ka pahlonghaih hoi ka lensawkhaih loe Sithaw khaeah ni oh; ka thacakhaih lungsong hoi ka buephaih loe Sithaw ni.
God is the one who saves me and honors me. He is [like an overhanging] strong rock under which I [can] find shelter [MET].
8 Aw kaminawk, anih khaeah amha o poe ah loe, anih khaeah palungthin to paek oh; Sithaw loe aicae abuephaih ah oh. (Selah)
[You my] people, always trust in him. Tell him all your troubles, because he is (our refuge/the one who protects us) [MET].
9 Tangtang ni, khosak kahnaem kaminawk loe takhi khue ah ni oh o, khosak sang kaminawk doeh amsawnlok thui kami ah ni oh o; tahhaih hoiah tah naah, nihcae loe takhi pongah anghoep o kue.
People who are considered to be unimportant are [as worthless/unreliable as] a breath of air; people who are considered to be important [also] really (amount to nothing/cannot be trusted [to help us)]. If you put them all on a scale, [it would be as if] they weighed less than a puff of air.
10 Pacaekthlaekhaih to oep hmah loe, lomh ih hmuenmae pongah doeh amoek o hmah; hmuenmae hoi angraeng parai naah, to hmuenmae nuiah na poekhaih suem hmah.
Do not trust in money gained by extorting it from others; do not try to gain anything by robbing others. If you become very wealthy, do not trust in [IDM] your money.
11 Sithaw mah lok vaito thuih; vai hnetto thuih naah, thacakhaih loe Sithaw ih ni, tiah ka thaih.
I have heard God say more than once that he is the one who [really] has power,
12 Aw Angraeng, nang loe palungnathaih hoiah na koi; nang loe kaminawk boih hanah a tok sakhaih baktih toengah tangqum to na paek.
and that he is the one who faithfully loves [us]. He rewards every one [of us] according to the deeds that we do.
