Saam 9
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Mut-labben lok hoiah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka palungthin boih hoi nang kang saphaw han; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk boih to ka hnuksak han.
To the Chief Musician. On "Muthlabben." A Melody of David. I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:
2 Poeknawmhaih hoi nang ah kang hoe moe, aw Sang koek, na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
3 Ka misanawk hnukbangah amlaem o let naah, na hmaa ah amtimh o moe, anghmat o.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
4 Ka toenghaih to nang doet haih; angraeng tangkhang nuiah nang hnut moe, katoengah lok na caek.
For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
5 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to na thuitaek; kasae kaminawk to nam rosak moe, nihcae ih ahmin dungzan khoek to nang hmatsak boeh.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.
6 Aw na misa amrohaih loe, boeng khoek to phak boeh: vangpuinawk to na phreak pae, nihcae panoekhaih doeh angmacae hoi nawnto amro boih boeh.
O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
7 Toe Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to cak tih; lokcaek hanah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to a caksak boeh.
But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
8 Anih mah long hae toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ueloe, katoeng lokcaekhaih hoiah kaminawk to uk tih.
And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
9 Angraeng loe pacaekthlaekhaih tong kaminawk abuephaih ah om tih, raihaih atue ah doeh abuephaih ah oh.
Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
10 Na hmin panoek kaminawk loe nang to oep o tih; Angraeng, nang pakrong kaminawk to na pahnawt sut mak ai.
Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
11 Zion ah kaom, Angraeng khaeah saphawhaih laa to sah oh loe, a sak ih hmuennawk to congca kaminawk khaeah thui oh.
Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
12 Anih loe kami athii longhaih to pakuem, pahnet ai: anih loe poek pahnaemhaih hoiah qah kaminawk ih lok to pahnet ai.
When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
13 Aw Angraeng, kai hae na tahmen ah; kai hnuma kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih to na khen paeh loe, duekhaih khongkha thung hoiah na loisak ah:
Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;
14 to tih nahaeloe Zion canu ih khongkhanawk ah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sah thai boih ueloe, na pahlonghaih ah anghoehaih hoiah ka om tih.
That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
15 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe angmacae mah takaeh o ih tangqom thungah krak o: angmacae mah hawk ih palok pongah angmacae ih khok to amanh o boih boeh.
The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
16 Angraeng loe a sak ih lokcaekhaih hoiah amtueng: toe kasae kami loe a ban hoi sak ih thaang pongah amanh. (Higgaion, Selah)
To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. [Resounding music. (Selah)
The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kavawt kaminawk to pahnet poe mak ai ueloe, amtang kaminawk oephaih doeh anghma poe mak ai.
For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
19 Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah, kami mah na pazawk hmah nasoe: Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na hmaa ah lokcaekhaih om nasoe.
Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
20 Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ziisak ah: to tiah ni prae congca kaminawk mah angmacae hoi angmacae to kai loe kami rumram ni, tiah panoek o thai tih. (Selah)
Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
