Saam 55
1 Aw Khawsa, kak cykcahnaak ve ngai law lah, qeennaak ka thoeh lawnaak ve kawna a sui kaana koeh awm;
[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
2 Ngai law nawhtaw hlat law lah. Kawpoek ing ngaih kyinaak ni pe nawh,
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
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.
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 Kak kawlung khuiawh ka lingbyi ve khuikha zawk nawh; thih kqihnaak ing ni sing khoep hawh hy.
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Kqihnaak ingkaw thynnaak ing nik chung nawh; kqih awmnaak ing ni myk khoep hawh hy.
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Cawh, Aw, kqukkqu amyihna kang hla ta lah voei nyng! Ak hla na ding nyng saw awm oeih oeih lah voei nyng –
I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Ak hla na cen nyng saw qamkoh awh awm lah voei nyng;
Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
8 Hlinu ingkaw khawhli ing a phanaak voet ka awmnaak hun na ang tawnna cet lah voei nyng,” ti nyng.
"I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and 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.
Confuse them, LORD, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Khawmthan khawdai vawng awhkawng thlang qym uhy; ak khuiawh amak leek ingkaw amak thym poeknaak awm hy.
Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
11 Plawcinaak ing khawk bau khuiawh bibi nawh; thekhanaak ingkaw qaai awikhqi lamkhqi awh am poet qoe hy.
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her 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 it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
13 Cehlai, kamah amyihna thlang ak awm, ka pyi, ak zoe khyt ka pyi taw nang ni.
But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 Khawsa im na thlangkqeng mi ceh haih awh awmhly zeel doena ka pawlneng haih ceni.
We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
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 suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Cehlai, Khawsa ce khy nyng saw, Bawipa ing ni hul hy.
As for me, I will call on God. 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, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will 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 has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose 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, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
20 Ka pyi nawn ing a pyi ce tuk nawh; a paipi ce a sawhqat na awm sak nawn paqap hy.
He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated 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.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
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.
Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
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 you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
