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. Incline your ear, Lord, and answer me, for I am afflicted 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!
Guard me, for I am loyal: save your servant, who trusts in you.
3 Aw Angraeng, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh; ni thokkruek nang khaeah ka hangh.
Lord, be gracious to me, for you are my God; I cry to you all the day.
4 Na tamna ih pakhra to anghoesak ah; Aw Angraeng, nang khaeah, ka hinghaih kang vah tahang.
Gladden the heart of your servant; for to you, Lord, I set my hope.
5 Angraeng, nang loe na hoih, zae tahmen hanah na koeh; nang kawk kaminawk boih khaeah, pop parai palungnathaih to nam tuengsak.
For you, Lord, are good and forgiving, rich in love towards all who call on you.
6 Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih lok hae tahngai raeh.
Listen, O Lord, to my prayer; attend to my plea for mercy.
7 Raihaih ka tongh niah nang to kang kawk han; to naah nang mah nang pathim tih.
In the day of my trouble I call on you, with assurance that you will answer me.
8 Aw Angraeng, sithawnawk thungah nang baktih mi doeh om ai; na sak ih toknawk baktih tok doeh om ai.
None of the gods is like you, Lord, nor are any works like yours.
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 the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, giving glory, O Lord, to your name.
10 Nang loe lensawk moe, dawnrai hmuennawk to na sak; Sithaw ah kaom loe nang khue ni.
For great are you, and a doer of wonders; you alone are God.
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, O Lord, your way, that I may walk in your truth: so my heart shall rejoice in your name.
12 Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, ka palungthin boih hoiah kang pakoeh han; dungzan khoek to na hmin kang pakoeh han.
I will give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart, my God, I will honour your name forever.
13 Na palungnathaih loe kating ai len; kathuk taprong thung hoiah ka hinghaih to nang pahlong boeh. (Sheol h7585)
For great is your love towards me, from the depths of Sheol you have saved me. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Haughty men have risen up against me, O God, a band of the violent seeking my life, who think nothing of you.
15 Toe Aw Angraeng, nang loe tahmenhaih, amlunghaih, pauep thaihaih, pop parai palungnathaih, loktang lok hoiah koi Sithaw ah na oh.
But you are a God of pity and grace, patient and rich in kindness and faithfulness; turn to me with your grace, O Lord.
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.
Grant your strength to your servant, and save the child of your 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.
Show me a sign of your favour, which those who hate me may see with confusion, since you, Lord, are my helper and comforter.
