Saam 5
1 Aw Bawipa kak awi ce ning ngai pe nawh, kak khy awi ce poek lah.
To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David. To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:
2 Ka sangpahrang ingkaw ka Khawsa kak khy awi ce ngai lah; na venawh nik cykcah law nyng.
Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.
3 Bawipa, mymcang awh kak awi ve ngai tiksaw; mymcang awh na haiawh qeennaak thoeh doena ngaih-unaak ing qeh nyng.
O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;
4 Nang taw thawlhnaak awh ak zeel Khawsa na am awm hyk ti; na venawh thlak chekhqi am awm thai uhy.
For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:
5 Thlak oek qu soeih ing na haiawh am dyi thai ti kawmsaw; ik-oeih ak sai palhkhqi ce nang ing sawh na hyk ti.
Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes, —Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:
6 A qaai ak kqawnkhqi ce nang ing hqe hyk ti; thlang a thi ak ngaihkhqi ingkaw a qaai ak kqawnkhqi ce Bawipa ing tyih hy.
Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood, —The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.
7 Cehlai kai taw na lungnaak ak caming na ip khuina law kawng; kqihchahnaak ing na bawk im ciim benna koep kawng nyng.
But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:
8 Aw Bawipa ka qaalkhqi a awm dawngawh na dyngnaak benna ni hqui lah; ka haiawh na lampyi ce dyng sak lah.
O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:
9 Cekkhqi am khak khui awhkaw awi taw lungoet awm cangnaak kawina am awm hy; kawtih, amik kawlungkhqi seetnaak ing be uhy. Amik awihqawngkhqi ce phyi ak awng qu hyt amyihna awm nawh, a mim lai ing ami qaai kqawn uhy.
For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, —An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.
10 Aw Khawsa, cekkhqi ce thlak thawlh na kqawn khqi hlah! Aming cainaak ce a mimah ang tluknaak na awm lat seh nyng. Thawlhnaak khawzah ami sai hawh a dawngawh hqek khqi bang hlah, cekkhqi ing nang ni oelh uhy.
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, —Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: —
11 Cehlai, nang awh thuknaak ak suikhqi taw zeel u seh. Zeel doena laa sa u seh, cekkhqi ce chung khqi khoep lah. Cawhtaw nang ming ak lungnaak thlangkhqi ce nang awh zeel kawm uh.
That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.
12 Aw Bawipa thlakdyngkhqi taw nang ing zosennaak pe kawm tiksaw; nam qeennaak ing cekkhqi ce chung khqi khoep kawp ti.
For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield—with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
