Saam 141
1 Aw Bawipa, nang ni ka nik khy; ka venawh ang tawnna law cang. Ka nik khy awh kak awi ve ngai cang lah.
A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee.
2 Kak cykcahnaak ve na haiawh bawktui na awm seitaw; ka kutphyl ve khawmy ben awhkaw lucik nawn amyihna awm seh.
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Aw Bawipa, kam kha awh khoemkung ta law nawhtaw; ka hui chawmkeng ve qeh law lah.
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Kak kawlung ve ik-oeih che benna, thlakchekhqi a ik-oeih sainaak ing amak leek ik-oeih ak sai thlangkhqi benna koeh hawi law; a mingmih a buh a an tui awm koeh ni ai sak.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Thlak dyng ingtaw ni vyk mai seh – qeennaak dawngawh ni; ni zyi awm ni zyi seh – ka lu awhkaw situi nani a awm. Ka lu ing ap tha na tikaw. Cehlai kak cykcahnaak ing thlakchekhqi a ik-oeih sai ce oelh poepa hy;
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 a ningnih ak ukkungkhqi ce minpoeng na khawng kawm uh, kak awih kqawnkhqi ve ak leek ni ka kqawn tice thlakchekhqi ing sim kawm uh.
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Cekkhqi ing, “Thlang ing dek a nawk awh deklai a ah amyihna, kaimih a quhkhqi taw phyi a keng awh theh qu kang hy,” ti kawm uh. (Sheol h7585)
Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
8 Cehlai, Aw Boeimang Bawipa, ka mik qawi ing nang ni ani dan; nang awh ni kang thuk – thihnaak benna nang ing koeh ni pe.
But my eyes are to thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Kai aham ami dun law dawng awhkawng ni loet sak nawhtaw; thlakchekhqi ing ami dun law dawng awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
Keep me from the traps which they have laid for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
10 Kai taw ngaihding na ka ceh awh, thlakchekhqi taw a mimah a lawk awh awk nawn u seh.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape.
