Tingtoeng 16
1 David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I take refuge.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
Thou my soul have said to Jehovah, Thou are my Lord. I have no good beyond thee.
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
4 A tloe aka oei rhoek tah a nganboh la pung. Amih thii te tuisi ka bueih pawt vetih ka hmuilai neh amih ming te ka khuen mahpawh.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
5 BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintain my lot.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
The lines are fallen to me in pleasant places. Yea, I have a fine heritage.
7 Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I beheld Jehovah always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka kah thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope.
10 Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol h7585)
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
11 Hingnah caehlong te kai nan tueng tih, na hmai ah kohoenah kodam la om. Na bantang kut ah a yoeyah la ka ngailaem.
Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
