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 are come in unto 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 am 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 of my crying: my throat is dried: mine 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.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5 Aw Sithaw, kam thuhaih hae nang panoek; ka zaehaihnawk loe na hmaa hoiah hawk thai ai.
O God, thou knowest 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 them that wait on thee, O Lord Yhwh of Armies, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, 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 hath 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 am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
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 thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are 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, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 Buri khukbuen kang khuk naah, minawk mah ang pahnuih o thuih.
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 Khongkha ah anghnu kaminawk mah kai ang pahnui o thuih; mu paquih kaminawk mah kai han laa ang sak o thuih.
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was 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 unto thee, O Yhwh, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear 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 them that 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 waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Aw Angraeng, nam lunghaih loe hoih pongah, ka lok hae tahngai ah; kalen na palungnathaih hoiah kai khaeah angqoi raeh.
Hear me, O Yhwh; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
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 trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Ka pakhra khaeah anghnai ah loe, pahlong ah; ka misanawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Ka tongh ih kasaethuihaih, azathaih hoi ahminsethaih to na panoek; ka misanawk loe ka hmaa ah ni oh o boih.
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine 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 hath 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 gave me also gall for my meat; 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 become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
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, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
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 thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Nihcae ohhaih ahmuen to pong sut nasoe loe, nihcae ih buk ah mi doeh om hmah nasoe.
Let their habitation be desolate; and 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 hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 Nihcae sakpazaehaih to zaehaih hoiah patomh pae ah; nihcae loe na toenghaih thungah angzo o hmah nasoe.
Add iniquity unto 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 the living, 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.
This also shall please Yhwh better than an ox or bullock that hath 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 humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 Angraeng loe amtang kaminawk ih lok to tahngaih pae; thongkrah angmah ih kaminawk doeh pahnet ai.
For Yhwh heareth the poor, and despiseth not 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 the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth 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 will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell 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 they that love his name shall dwell therein.
