< Saam 64 >
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; misa zithaih thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae pakaa ah.
HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Kasae kaminawk mah tamquta hoi thuih o ih lokramhaih thung hoiah na pakaa ah loe, sethaih sah kaminawk salak hoiah na hawk ah;
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 nihcae loe palai to sumsen baktiah taak o; palaa to kah hanah kalii anueng baktiah, loksae hoiah kami to patoep o,
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 coek koi om ai kami to tamquta hoi kah hanah patoep o moe, zithaih tawn ai ah anih to kah o roep.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Nihcae loe kasae hmuen sakhaih bangah maeto hoi maeto tha ang paek o; mi mah maw nihcae to hnu tih, tiah poek o moe, tamquta hoi thaang patung hanah a thuih o.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 Nihcae loe kahoih ai hmuen sak hanah pakrong o; kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o tangtang han, palung thungah a poek o ih hmuen loe thuk parai.
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 Toe Sithaw mah nihcae to palaa hoiah kat tih; nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah ahma caa o tih.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 Angmacae ih palai to angmacae nuiah krah o sak let tih; nihcae hnu kaminawk boih cawn o tih.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Kaminawk boih mah nihcae to zii o ueloe, Sithaw toksakhaih to taphong o tih, to naah anih mah sak ih hmuen to nihcae mah poek o tih.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 Katoeng kami loe Angraeng ah anghoe ueloe, anih khaeah abuep tih; poek toeng kaminawk boih lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
