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.
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul.
2 Khok cawhhaih om ai, tangnong thungah ka krak boeh; kathuk parai tui thungah, tui ka uem boeh.
I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown me.
3 Ka hang loiah, taaw doeh zaek sut boeh; ka Sithaw, ka khet naah, ka mik doeh amtueng ai boeh.
I have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting 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 hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
5 Aw Sithaw, kam thuhaih hae nang panoek; ka zaehaihnawk loe na hmaa hoiah hawk thai ai.
O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been hid from You.
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.
Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Nang hanah kasaethuihaih ka tongh boeh; azathaih mah ka mikhmai hae khuk khoep boeh.
For because of You 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 been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
9 Nang ih im poekhaih mah kai ang caak boih boeh; nang kasaethui kaminawk mah thuih ih sethaih to ka nuiah krak boeh.
For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
10 Buhzah moe, qahhaih hoi lawk ka thuih naah doeh, kai kasae ang thuih o haih to ka pauep vop.
And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11 Buri khukbuen kang khuk naah, minawk mah ang pahnuih o thuih.
And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory 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 sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
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.
And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer me in the truth of Your 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 from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
15 Tuilen mah kai na khuk hmah nasoe, kathuk tui mah na paaeh hmah nasoe, tangqom mah doeh na paaeh hmah nasoe.
Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on 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 YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
17 Na tamna khaeah na mikhmai hawk ving hmah; raihaih ka tong boeh; karangah na tahngai pae ah.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
18 Ka pakhra khaeah anghnai ah loe, pahlong ah; ka misanawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
Be near to my soul—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.
You have known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, All my adversaries [are] before You.
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 sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have 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.
And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
22 Nihcae ih caboi loe angmacae hmaa ah thaang ah om nasoe loe, nihcae khosak hoihaih doeh peet ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
23 Nihcae mah hnuk o han ai ah, mik amtueng pae hmah nasoe; nihcae ih kaeng doeh thacak hmah nasoe.
Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
24 Nihcae nuiah palung na phuihaih to krai ah loe, na palung bethaih mah nihcae to pha thuih nasoe.
Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
25 Nihcae ohhaih ahmuen to pong sut nasoe loe, nihcae ih buk ah mi doeh om hmah nasoe.
Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller 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 have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
27 Nihcae sakpazaehaih to zaehaih hoiah patomh pae ah; nihcae loe na toenghaih thungah angzo o hmah nasoe.
Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter into Your righteousness.
28 Hinghaih cabu thung hoiah nihcae to phrae ah, nihcae to katoeng kaminawk hoi nawnto tarik hmah.
They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
29 Kai loe amtang pongah, palung ka set boeh; Aw Sithaw, na pahlonghaih mah na sangsak nasoe.
And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me on high.
30 Kai loe Sithaw ahmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han; anghoe lokthuihaih hoiah anih to ka pakoeh han.
I praise the Name of God with a song, And I 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 is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
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 have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
33 Angraeng loe amtang kaminawk ih lok to tahngaih pae; thongkrah angmah ih kaminawk doeh pahnet ai.
For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
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.
The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
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 saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
36 Anih tamnanawk ih caanawk mah doeh to vangpui to toep o tih; ahmin palung kaminawk loe to vang thungah om o tih.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
