Saam 71
1 Aw Angraeng, nang thungah ni kang hawk; natuek naah doeh azathaih na tongsak hmah.
IN thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Na toenghaih hoi pahlong ah loe, na loisak ah; kai khaeah na naa to patueng ah loe, na pahlong ah.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Ka phak thaihaih ahmuen kruekah, ka buephaih ah om ah; nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang vaenghaih ah na oh pongah, kai pahlong hanah lok na paek boeh.
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Aw ka Sithaw, kami zaenawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong ah, katoeng ai kami hoi hmawsaeng kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe ka oephaih akung pui ah na oh; ka thendoeng nathuem hoi boeh ni nang loe kang oephaih ah na oh.
For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 Ka tapen tangsuek nathuem hoi nang khaeah kam ha boeh; nang mah ni kam no zok thung hoiah nang lak. Nang loe dungzan ah kang pakoeh han.
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 Kai loe kanoih kaminawk dawnrai han koi ah ni ka oh; toe nang loe kacak ka buephaih ah na oh.
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Ka pakha loe athun qui nang pakoehhaih, na lensawkhaih hoiah koi nasoe.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Kai mitong naah na pahnawt sut hmah; ka thaboeng naah na caeh taak hmah.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Ka misanawk loe kai aekhaih lok to thuih o; ka hinghaih patoem kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o,
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 anih loe Sithaw mah pahnawt sut boeh; patom oh loe naeh oh; anih bomkung mi doeh om ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 Aw Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak ving hmah; aw ka Sithaw, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah!
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Ka hinghaih misa ah poek kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah anghma angtaa o nasoe; kai nganbawh kana paek han pakrong kaminawk loe pronghaih hoi ahminsethaih mah kraeng khoep nasoe.
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 Toe kai loe oephaih ka tawnh poe pongah, nang to kang pakoeh aep aep han.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 Nazetto maw tiah ka panoek ai cadoeh, ka pakha mah na toenghaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ni thokkruek thui tih.
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah ka caeh, na toenghaih khue ni ka thuih han.
I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 Aw Sithaw, ka thendoeng nathuem hoiah nang patuk boeh; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vaihni khoek to ka thuih.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Aw Sithaw, kai loe vaihi mitong boeh, na thacakhaih to sampok khoek to, vaihi dung ih kaminawk khaeah ka thuih moe, na sakthaihaih to angzo han koi kaminawk khaeah ka thui ai karoek to, na pahnawt sut hmah.
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Aw Sithaw, kalen parai hmuennawk sahkung, na toenghaih loe van khoek to phak; Aw Sithaw, nang baktih mi maw kaom?
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
20 Kalen parai raihaih to nang patuek boeh; nang mah nang hingsak let ueloe, kathuk long thung hoiah kai nang thawksak let tih.
Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Kai khosak hoihhaih to pungsak ueloe, na pathloep let tih.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 Aw ka Sithaw, nang hoi na loktang lok to katoeng hoiah kang pakoeh han; aw Israelnawk ih Ciimcai Sithaw, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 Nang khaeah laa ka sak naah, ka palainawk anghoe o ueloe, na krang ih ka hinghaih doeh anghoe tih.
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 Ni thokkruek ka palai mah na toenghaih to thui tih; kai nganbawh kana paek hanah pakrong kaminawk loe, azathaih to tongh o moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o sut boeh.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
