Saam 13

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

For the leader. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult 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;

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
