< Saam 86 >
1 David Lawkthuihaih. Aw Angraeng, na naa to patueng ah loe, na pathim ah; kai loe kamtang hoi kavawt kami ah ni ka oh.
A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Ka ciim pongah, ka hinghaih hae pathlung ah; Nang loe ka Sithaw ah ni na oh; nang oephaih tawn na tamna hae pahlong ah!
Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Aw Angraeng, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh; ni thokkruek nang khaeah ka hangh.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Na tamna ih pakhra to anghoesak ah; Aw Angraeng, nang khaeah, ka hinghaih kang vah tahang.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Angraeng, nang loe na hoih, zae tahmen hanah na koeh; nang kawk kaminawk boih khaeah, pop parai palungnathaih to nam tuengsak.
For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih lok hae tahngai raeh.
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Raihaih ka tongh niah nang to kang kawk han; to naah nang mah nang pathim tih.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Aw Angraeng, sithawnawk thungah nang baktih mi doeh om ai; na sak ih toknawk baktih tok doeh om ai.
Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
9 Aw Angraeng, na sak ih prae congca kaminawk angzo o tih; nihcae loe na hmaa ah tabok o ueloe, na hmin to pakoeh o tih.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 Nang loe lensawk moe, dawnrai hmuennawk to na sak; Sithaw ah kaom loe nang khue ni.
For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone.
11 Aw Angraeng, loklam na patuek ah; kai loe na loktang lok pongah ni ka caeh han; na hmin ka zit thaih hanah, ka palungthin hae amhongsak ah.
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, ka palungthin boih hoiah kang pakoeh han; dungzan khoek to na hmin kang pakoeh han.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 Na palungnathaih loe kating ai len; kathuk taprong thung hoiah ka hinghaih to nang pahlong boeh. (Sheol )
For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol )
14 Aw Sithaw, amoek kaminawk loe naeh hanah angthawk o tahang; tahmenhaih tawn ai amkhueng kaminawk loe nang to hmaloe koek ah suem o ai, nihcae loe ka hinghaih to pakrong o.
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 Toe Aw Angraeng, nang loe tahmenhaih, amlunghaih, pauep thaihaih, pop parai palungnathaih, loktang lok hoiah koi Sithaw ah na oh.
But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 Kai khaeah angqoi ah loe, ka nuiah palungnathaih to tawn ah; na tamna khaeah na thacakhaih to paek ah loe, na tamna nongpata ih capa hae pahlong ah.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Kai hnuma kaminawk mah a hnuk o thaih moe, azat o thaih hanah, kai han angmathaih kahoih to na patuek ah; tih pongah tih nahaeloe Angraeng nang mah nang bomh moe, nang pathloep boeh.
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
