< Tingtoeng 16 >
1 David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
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 weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
5 BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent heritage.
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 has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should 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 rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
10 Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol )
because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
11 Hingnah caehlong te kai nan tueng tih, na hmai ah kohoenah kodam la om. Na bantang kut ah a yoeyah la ka ngailaem.
You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for ever.
