Saam 69
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Shoshanim ah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, na pahlong ah, tui loe ka hinghaih khoek to phak boeh.
Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul.
2 Khok cawhhaih om ai, tangnong thungah ka krak boeh; kathuk parai tui thungah, tui ka uem boeh.
I sink in deep mire where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 Ka hang loiah, taaw doeh zaek sut boeh; ka Sithaw, ka khet naah, ka mik doeh amtueng ai boeh.
I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Tidoeh na ai ah kai hnuma kaminawk loe ka lu nui ih sam pongah doeh pop o kue; tidoeh na ai ah kai hum hanah, pakrong ka misanawk loe thacak o parai; ka lak ai ih hmuen to ka paek let.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. That which I took not away I have to restore.
5 Aw Sithaw, kam thuhaih hae nang panoek; ka zaehaihnawk loe na hmaa hoiah hawk thai ai.
O God, thou know my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from thee.
6 Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, nang oephaih tawn kaminawk loe, kai pongah palung boenghaih tawn o hmah nasoe; Aw Israelnawk ih Sithaw, nang pakrong kaminawk loe kai pongah azathaih tongh o hmah nasoe.
Let not those who wait for thee be put to shame through me, O lord Jehovah of hosts. Let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
7 Nang hanah kasaethuihaih ka tongh boeh; azathaih mah ka mikhmai hae khuk khoep boeh.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face.
8 Kai loe kaimah ih nawkamya khaeah angvin ah ka oh moe, kam no ih caanawk khaeah prae kalah kami ah ka oh boeh.
I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's sons.
9 Nang ih im poekhaih mah kai ang caak boih boeh; nang kasaethui kaminawk mah thuih ih sethaih to ka nuiah krak boeh.
For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach thee have fallen upon me.
10 Buhzah moe, qahhaih hoi lawk ka thuih naah doeh, kai kasae ang thuih o haih to ka pauep vop.
When I wept in my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 Buri khukbuen kang khuk naah, minawk mah ang pahnuih o thuih.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
12 Khongkha ah anghnu kaminawk mah kai ang pahnui o thuih; mu paquih kaminawk mah kai han laa ang sak o thuih.
Those who sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
13 AwAngraeng, kai loe talawkhaih atue ah, nang khaeah lawk kang thuih; aw Sithaw, kanoih parai na palungnathaih hoi na pahlonghaih loktang lok hoiah ka lok hae na tahngai pae ah.
But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Jehovah. In an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy loving kindness, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
14 Tangnong thungah na krahsak hmah, na loihsak ah; kai hnuma kaminawk ban thung hoi na pahlong ah loe, kathuk tui thung hoi na pahlong ah.
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Tuilen mah kai na khuk hmah nasoe, kathuk tui mah na paaeh hmah nasoe, tangqom mah doeh na paaeh hmah nasoe.
Let not the water flood overwhelm me, nor let the deep swallow me up. And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
16 Aw Angraeng, nam lunghaih loe hoih pongah, ka lok hae tahngai ah; kalen na palungnathaih hoiah kai khaeah angqoi raeh.
Answer me, O Jehovah, for thy loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou to me,
17 Na tamna khaeah na mikhmai hawk ving hmah; raihaih ka tong boeh; karangah na tahngai pae ah.
and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.
18 Ka pakhra khaeah anghnai ah loe, pahlong ah; ka misanawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
19 Ka tongh ih kasaethuihaih, azathaih hoi ahminsethaih to na panoek; ka misanawk loe ka hmaa ah ni oh o boih.
Thou know my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before thee.
20 Kasaethuihaih mah kai ih palungthin to koihsak; paroeai palung ka boeng; tahmenhaih tawn kami to ka pakrong, toe mi doeh om ai; pathloepkung to ka pakrong, toe mi doeh ka hnu ai.
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Ka caak hanah nihcae mah kakhaa ahmuet to ang paek o; tui kang haeh naah naek hanah misurtui kathaw to ang paek o.
They also gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Nihcae ih caboi loe angmacae hmaa ah thaang ah om nasoe loe, nihcae khosak hoihaih doeh peet ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
Let their table before them become a snare, and when they are in peace, a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.
23 Nihcae mah hnuk o han ai ah, mik amtueng pae hmah nasoe; nihcae ih kaeng doeh thacak hmah nasoe.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and bow down their back continually.
24 Nihcae nuiah palung na phuihaih to krai ah loe, na palung bethaih mah nihcae to pha thuih nasoe.
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.
25 Nihcae ohhaih ahmuen to pong sut nasoe loe, nihcae ih buk ah mi doeh om hmah nasoe.
Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents.
26 Tipongah tih nahaeloe na boh ih kaminawk to nihcae mah pacaekpathlaek o; nganbawh kana na paek ih kaminawk to kasae a thuih o.
For they persecute him whom thou have smitten, and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou have wounded.
27 Nihcae sakpazaehaih to zaehaih hoiah patomh pae ah; nihcae loe na toenghaih thungah angzo o hmah nasoe.
Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Hinghaih cabu thung hoiah nihcae to phrae ah, nihcae to katoeng kaminawk hoi nawnto tarik hmah.
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29 Kai loe amtang pongah, palung ka set boeh; Aw Sithaw, na pahlonghaih mah na sangsak nasoe.
But I am poor and sorrowful. Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 Kai loe Sithaw ahmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han; anghoe lokthuihaih hoiah anih to ka pakoeh han.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving,
31 Takii hoi khokpacin kaom, maitaw hoi maitaw tae paek pongah loe hae tiah sakhaih hae Angraeng mah koeh kue tih.
and it will please Jehovah better than an ox, or a bullock that has horns and hoofs.
32 Poek pahnaem kaminawk loe to baktih hmuen to hnu o ueloe, anghoe o tih; Sithaw pakrong kami ih palungthin loe hing tih.
The meek have seen it, and are glad. Ye who seek after God, let your heart live.
33 Angraeng loe amtang kaminawk ih lok to tahngaih pae; thongkrah angmah ih kaminawk doeh pahnet ai.
For Jehovah hears the needy, and does not despise his prisoners.
34 Van hoi long mah anih to saphaw nasoe; tuipui hoi athung ah kaom kangtawt thaih hmuennawk boih mah doeh anih to saphaw o nasoe.
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein.
35 Tipongah tih nahaeloe Zion mae loe Sithaw mah pahlong ueloe, Judah vangpuinawk to sah let tih; to naah nihcae mah la o ueloe, athung ah khosah o tih.
For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
36 Anih tamnanawk ih caanawk mah doeh to vangpui to toep o tih; ahmin palung kaminawk loe to vang thungah om o tih.
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell therein.
