Tingtoeng 16
1 [David kah Laa] Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
“A psalm off David.” Preserve me, O God! for to thee do I look for help.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
I have said to Jehovah, Thou art my Lord; I have no happiness beyond thee!
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
The holy that are in the land, and the excellent, —in them 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.
They who hasten after other gods shall have multiplied sorrows; Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor will I 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 my portion and my cup; Thou wilt maintain my lot!
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
My portion hath fallen to me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly inheritance.
7 Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
I will bless the LORD, who careth for me; Yea, in the night my heart admonisheth me.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I set the LORD before me at all times; Since he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
9 Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my spirit rejoiceth; Yea, my flesh dwelleth in security.
10 Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol h7585)
For thou wilt not give me up to the underworld; Nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see the pit. (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 wilt show me the path of life; In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
