Saam 59
1 Aw Khawsa, ka qaal kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak lah, kai anik qaalnaak thlangkhqi ven awhkawng nik chung lah.
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.” Deliver me from my enemies, O my God! Defend me from them that rise up against me!
2 Ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni loet sak nawh thlang a thi tui na ak ngaihkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
Deliver me from the doers of iniquity, And save me from men of blood!
3 Kaw amyihna kai ami ni mah ce toek lah! Aw Bawipa, kaw thawlhnaak awm am ka sai mai awh, thlak tlungkhqi ing kai ni teng uhy.
For, lo! they lie in wait for my life; The mighty are gathered against me, Without any offence or fault of mine, O LORD!
4 Ka sai thawlh ikaw awm am awm hlai hy, kai tuk aham oepchoeh na awm uhy. Kai hul aham tho lah; ka lynaak ve toek lah!
Without any offence of mine, they run and prepare themselves; Awake to help me, and behold!
5 Aw Bawipa Boeimang Khawsa, Israel Khawsa pilnam thlang boeih toel aham tho lah; Thlak chekhqi ce koeh qeen qoe qoe.
Do thou, O Jehovah, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations! Show no mercy to any wicked transgressors! (Pause)
6 Khawmy awh hlat law unawh, uikhqi amyihna thlang oh doena, khawk bau khuiawh thoek uhy.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
7 Am khak khui awhkawng a sa ce toek lah - ami hui awhkawng zawzi sa unawh, “U ing nik chah hly paqap?” ti uhy.
Behold! with their mouths they belch out malice; Swords are upon their lips; “For who,” say they, “will hear?”
8 Cehlai, Bawipa, nang ing cekkhqi ce qaih na lah; ce pilnam thlangkhqi ce qaih na hawh hyk ti.
Yet thou, O LORD! wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt hold all the nations in derision!
9 Aw kak tha awmnaak, nang ni ka ni qeh; Aw Khawsa, nang taw kai a vawngcak na awm tiksaw,
O my Strength! to thee will I look! For God is my defence;
10 Ka lungnaak Khawsa na awm hyk ti. Khawsa taw ka hai benawh cet kawmsaw kai ak che na anik kqawnkhqi ce kawqepnaak ing ni toek sak kawp ti.
My God will come to meet me with his mercy; God will cause me to look with joy upon my enemies.
11 Cehlai, kaimih a phuhqa na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, cekkhqi ce koeh him lah, kak thlangkhqi ing cekkhqi ce qoe sak khqi nawhtaw, zawk sak lah.
Slay them not, lest my people forget; Scatter them by thy power, and cast them down, O Lord, our shield!
12 Am kha awhkaw thawlhnaak, a huikhqi awhkaw awi awh, a mimah ang oek qunaak awh tu sak nawn lah. Ami seet lawhnaak ingkaw qaai amik kqawnnaak dawngawh,
The word of their lips is the sin of their mouth; Let them be overtaken in their pride, For the curses and the falsehood which they utter!
13 Nak kawsonaak ing cekkhqi ce milh sak nawhtaw, a mami awmnaak tlaih qoe dy awh milh sak phang tlang lah. Cawhtaw khawmdek a dytnaak dyna Khawsa ing Jacob uk hy tice sim kawm uh.
Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they be no more, That they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, Even to the ends of the earth! (Pause)
14 Khawmy benawh hlat law unawh, uikhqi amyihna thlang oh doena, khawk bau khuiawh thoek uhy.
Let them return at evening, Let them howl like dogs, And go round about the city!
15 Buh sui unawh thoek uhy, amik phoen ama phyi awhtaw khy uhy.
Let them wander about for food, When they have passed the night unsatisfied!
16 Cehlai, kai ingtaw nak thaawmnaak ce laa na sa kawng nyng saw, mymcang awh na lungnaak ce laa na sa vang; kawtih nang taw ka vawngcak, kyinaak ka huh awh kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
But I will sing of thy power; Yea, in the morning will I sing aloud of thy mercy; For thou hast been my defence, My refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Aw kak thaawmnaak, nang kyihcah Khawsa, ka vawngnu na awm hyk ti.
To thee, O my Strength! will I sing! For God is my defence; a God of mercy to me.
