Saam 27

1 Bawipa taw ka maihchoei ingkaw ka hulnaak na awm hy - u nu kak kqih bai kaw? Bawipa taw ka hqingnaak vawngcak na awm hy - u nu kak kqih re bai kaw?

[By David.] The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

2 Ka sa daih aham thlak chekhqi ing ni pan unawh ka qaalkhqi ingkaw ka thunkhakhqi ing amim tu awh ce bah kawm usaw tlu kawm uh.

When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

3 Qalkap ing nik chung khoep seiawm, kak kawlung am thyn qoe tikaw; tangboek ing ni boeng qoe seiawm kak kawlung yp khak kaw.

Though an army is deployed against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

4 Bawipa venawh ik-oeih pynoet doeng thoeh nyng, ka thoeh taw veni; ka hqing khui pyt Bawipa im awh awm aham ingkaw Bawipa a myi daw soeih ce toek doena a bawkim khuiawh amah sui ve doeng ni.

One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to see the LORD's beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

5 Ikawtih kyinaak ka um awh ce a awmnaak hun awh kai ce ngaihding cana ni awm sak kaw; a hizan im awmnaak khuiawh ni thuh kawmsaw lungnu awh ce ak sang na nim hawih kaw.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

6 Cawhtaw kai anik chung khoep ka qaalkhqik khanawh ka luu ve zoeksang kaw; a hizan im awh zeel doena khy nawh lucik nawn nyng saw; Bawipa kyihcah ing laa sa hawh kawng nyng.

Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

7 Aw Bawipa, ka nik khy awh ce kak awi ngai law lah; nim qeen nawhtaw nim hlat lah.

Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

8 Kak kawlung ing “A haai sui lah!” ni tina hy. Bawipa nang haai ni ka sui hly.

My heart said of you, "Seek his face." Your face, LORD, I will seek.

9 Na haai ce koeh thuh valh nawh, na tyihzawih ve koeh mang taak; nang taw kai anik bawmkung ni. Aw Khawsa ka hulkung, koeh ni qoeng nawhtaw koeh ni cen taak.

Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

10 Ka pa ingkaw ka nu ing ni cehta seiawm, Bawipa ing ni do ngai kaw.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

11 Aw Bawipa, na lam ce ni cawng sak nawh; kai anik thekhanaakkhqi awh na lap dyng awh ni sawi lah.

Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

12 Ka qaalkhqi ngaihnaak awh kai ce koeh ni pe, amak thym dyihthingkhqi ing ni thawh sih unawh, amak leek ben awi ce amik kqawn a dawngawh.

Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out violence.

13 Ka hqingnaak qam awh ve Bawipa a leeknaak hu ngai kawng tinawh yp qu na mang kang nyng.

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 Bawipa mah qeh lah; kawlung cak doena nak tha awm sak nawh, Bawipa mah qeh lah.

Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
