Saam 13

1 Aw Bawipa, handy hly nu? Kai na nim hilh hly loet hawh nawh nu? Handy nu na haai na thuh kaw.

HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Handy awh kawpoek ingqawi kqak qu nih nawh myngawi kawseet ing ka awm loet kaw? Handy nu ka qaalkhqi ing kai ami noeng kaw?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni toek nawhtaw nim hlat lah. Kamik ve dai law sak lah, cek kaa mantaw thihnaak ing ip loet hawh kawng nyng;

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Cawhtaw ka qaalkhqi ing, “Noeng hawh nyng,” ni tina kawm usaw, kang tluk awh ce ka qaalkhqi zeel hawh kawm uh.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Cehlai, amak dyt thai na lungnaak ce cangna nyng; na hulnaak awh kak kawlung zeel hy.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Kak khan awh leek saw, Bawipa venawh laa sa vang nyng.

I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
