Saam 55
1 Aw Khawsa, kak cykcahnaak ve ngai law lah, qeennaak ka thoeh lawnaak ve kawna a sui kaana koeh awm;
Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:
2 Ngai law nawhtaw hlat law lah. Kawpoek ing ngaih kyinaak ni pe nawh,
Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,
3 ka qaal ak awi ingkaw, thlakchekhqi amik dai sihnaak awh ly a lap na awm hqoeng nyng; kak khan awh khuikhanaak pha sak unawh khawso doena ka qaalkhqi ing ni zyi uhy.
At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
4 Kak kawlung khuiawh ka lingbyi ve khuikha zawk nawh; thih kqihnaak ing ni sing khoep hawh hy.
My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
5 Kqihnaak ingkaw thynnaak ing nik chung nawh; kqih awmnaak ing ni myk khoep hawh hy.
Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.
6 Cawh, Aw, kqukkqu amyihna kang hla ta lah voei nyng! Ak hla na ding nyng saw awm oeih oeih lah voei nyng –
And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
7 Ak hla na cen nyng saw qamkoh awh awm lah voei nyng;
Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness.
8 Hlinu ingkaw khawhli ing a phanaak voet ka awmnaak hun na ang tawnna cet lah voei nyng,” ti nyng.
I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
9 Aw Bawipa, thlak chekhqi ce lungcing haven na ta nawh, ak awih kqawnkhqi awm chum hang sak lah, khawk bau khuiawh awipungnaak ingkaw hqo ang hqitnaak hu nyng.
Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
10 Khawmthan khawdai vawng awhkawng thlang qym uhy; ak khuiawh amak leek ingkaw amak thym poeknaak awm hy.
Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
11 Plawcinaak ing khawk bau khuiawh bibi nawh; thekhanaak ingkaw qaai awikhqi lamkhqi awh am poet qoe hy.
And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.
12 Qaal ing ani thekhanaak mantaw, yh thai kawng nyng; qaal ing cem ni thawh sih mai seiawm, thuk taak thai kawng nyng.
For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
13 Cehlai, kamah amyihna thlang ak awm, ka pyi, ak zoe khyt ka pyi taw nang ni.
But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,
14 Khawsa im na thlangkqeng mi ceh haih awh awmhly zeel doena ka pawlneng haih ceni.
Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.
15 Thihnaak ing ka qaalkhqi ve tu qut sang mai nawh; phyi khuina a hqing a saina ceh pyi mai thaw voei uh, kawtih seetnaak ing a mingmih anglakawh awmnaak hun tahy. (Sheol h7585)
Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Cehlai, Khawsa ce khy nyng saw, Bawipa ing ni hul hy.
But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
17 Myncang, khawmy ingkaw khawnghyp awh ce ngaih kyi doena khy nyng saw, anih ing kak awi ce za law hy.
Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.
18 Ka qaal ce doem soeih bai seiawm, kai anik tukkhqi anglak khui awhkawng a tlawh ang zak kaana ni hul hy.
He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.
19 Kumqui dy boei ngawihdoelh awh ak ngawi, Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce za kawmsaw a tlawh zaak sak khqi kaw. A khawboe amak chawt man thlangkhqi ingkaw Khawsa amak kqih thlangkhqi na awm uhy.
God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
20 Ka pyi nawn ing a pyi ce tuk nawh; a paipi ce a sawhqat na awm sak nawn paqap hy.
He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,
21 Ak awih kqawn taw sithau amyihna haal hlai saw, ak kawk khuiawh qaal tuknaak doeng awm hy; cehlai zawzikhqi ak phlawng na awm hy.
They are divided by the wrath Of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.
22 Na phyihqih ce Bawipa awh hal lah anih ing tha ni awm sak kaw; ak thlang dyng ce ityk awh awm am tluk sak kaw.
Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
23 Cehlai, Aw Khawsa, nang ing thlak che ce seetnaak lawk-kqawng khuina nuk thla bit kawp ti; thlang thi ak hoetkhqi ingkaw qaai awi ak kqawnkhqi taw a hqingnaak pyng thym awm am hqing kaw. Cehlai kai ingtaw, nang ni ka ni ypnaak.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, O Lord.
