Saam 69
1 Aw Khawsa, ni hul lah, tui ing ka hawng dy pha law hawh hy.
To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.
2 Khaw lehnaak coet amak awm dizui ak khuina tla hawh nyng. Tuidung na nung tla nyng saw; tui ing ni zawl malh hawh hy.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.
3 Bawmnaak thoeh doena kak khy aih awh; kak awiqawng koh hawh hy. Khawsa ka toeknaak awh kamik awm am dang voel hawh hy.
I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Kaw am maiawh, kai anik sawhnaak thlangkhqi ve ka lu awhkaw lusam anglakawh doem khqoet uhy; amak awm qoe ikaw am maiawh kai hqe aham anik sui ka qaalkhqi kqeng soeih hy.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5 Aw Khawsa, ka qawnaak ve nang ing sim hyk ti, ka sai thawlhnaak ve na hai awhkawng thuh thai na am awm hy.
Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.
6 Aw Bawipa, Boeimang Bawipa, nang awh ngaih-unaak ak ta thlangkhqi ce kai awh kawboetnaak koeh ta u seh; Aw Israelkhqi a Khawsa, nang anik suikhqi ce kai awh chahqai koeh hu u seh.
Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.
7 Ikawtih, nang awh ce kqawn setnaak kung na nawh chahnaak ing ka haai ni dah khoep hy.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
8 Ka koeinakhqi venawh khin na awm nyng saw, ka nucakhqi venawh thlak ha na awm nyng;
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;
9 Na im awh kak tha thawhnaak ing ni ai zip nawh, nang anik kqawnsetkhqi ak kqawn setnaak ce kak khan awh tla hy.
For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.
10 Buh zeih ing kqang doena kak cykcah awhtaw, kqawn setnaak ce yh thai bit kawng nyng;
And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; —
11 Dip che kang byng awh ce, thlangkhqi ing lym hangnaak na ni sai uhy.
And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them.
12 Vawng chawmkeng awhkaw ak ngawikhqi ing ni qaih na unawh, zuk quikhqi a qenglung taila na awm kqoeng nyng.
They that sit in the gate talk of me, and [I am] the song of the drunkards.
13 Nang nak kaw a zeel tym awh, Aw Bawipa, na venawh cykcah law nyng; Aw Khawsa, cawh ce na lungnaak awh, na hulnaak tak ing nim hlat lah.
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:
14 Nawng khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw, koeh ning cum sak; kai anik sawhnaakkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul nawhtaw tui dung khui awhkawng ni thaawng lah.
Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.
15 Tui doem ing koeh ni sing seitaw tui dung ingawm koeh nik daih seh. Lawk-kqawng ingawm am kha koeh ni khyp sih seh.
Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
16 Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak leeknaak ing nim hlat lah; nam qeennaak bau soeih ak caming kai benna hawi qu law cang lah.
Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;
17 Na tyihzawih a ven awhkawng na haai ce koeh thuh nawhtaw; kyinaak hu vik hawh nyng, nang ing ang tawnna nim hlat lah.
And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.
18 Ka venawh zoe law nawh ni hul lah; ka qaalkhqi awhkawng nang ing ni thaawng lah.
Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.
19 Kawamyihna nik kqawn seet unawh, kaw boetnaak ingkaw chahqai na ni ta uhy tice nang ing sim hyk ti; ka qaalkhqi boeih ve na haiawh ni ami awm.
Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 kqawn setnaak ing kak kawlung kqek sak unawh hulkung ak taal na ni ta hyt uhy; hlang qeenkhaw ak ngai sui moe nyng, u awm am hu nyng saw, ak hloepkung sui moe nyng, u awm am awm hy.
Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Ka buh awh a hyt kha ni taak law pe unawh ka tui ngaih a sitnaak na misur tui ak thui ni pe uhy.
Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 A mingmih a haiawh caboei dawn peek na ak awm ce thang na dun pe u sei taw; Khawboe set phu zawk naak ing pel na phawk pe u seh.
Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;
23 Ami mikkhqi a mang dangnaak aham hyp pesak khqi seitaw, amim tingkhqi awm khun pek khqi loet seh nyng.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Cek khqik khan awh nak kawsonaak ce hawk pe lah; nak kawsonaak ak eih ing cekkhqi ce kee seh.
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.
25 A mingmih a awmnaak ce pawng seitaw; cekkhqi a im awhkaw a u awm koeh awm voel seh.
Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.
26 Ikawtih, nang ing ngawha na ai sak thlangkhqi ce the a kha na unawh nang ing tlawh na peek thlangkhqi kawng ce kqawn uhy.
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 A sai thawlhnaak ce sai thawlhnaak ing sap pe lah; nang a hulnaak ce koeh huh sak.
Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Hqingnaak cauk awhkawng cekkhqi ce caih sak bang nawh thlakdyngkhqi mi koeh noet sih haih.
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
29 Thawlhnaak ing khuikha hawh nyng; Aw Khawsa, na hulnaak ing nik chung seh nyng.
But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.
30 Laa ing Khawsa ang ming ce kyihcah nyng saw zeelnaak awi kqawnnaak ing zoeksang kawng nyng.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;
31 Vaitawm cai anglakawh Bawipa zeel sak khqoet kawmsaw, ki ingkaw khawme ak ta vaitawm cai anglakawh Bawipa zeel sak khqoet kaw.
And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, — a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.
32 Khawdengkhqi ing hu kawm usaw zeel kawm uh. Nangmih Khawsa ak suikhqi, namik kawlung hqing seh!
The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.
33 Bawipa ing ak voethlauh thlangkhqik awi ce zaak pek khqi nawh tamnaa na ak awm thlangkhqi awm am hep hy.
For Jehovah heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Khan ingkaw dek ing amah kyihcah seitaw, tuicunli ingkaw ak khui awhkaw ak cawlhtat khqi boeih ingawm,
Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.
35 Ikawtih, Khawsa ing Zion ce hul kawmsaw Judah khawk baukhqi ce thawh tlaih kaw. Cawhtaw thlangkhqi ce ak khuiawh awm kawm usaw pang pahoei kawm uh;
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it:
36 A tyihzawihkhqi a cadilkhqi ing pang kawm usaw, ang ming ak lungnaak thlangkhqi ce a khawk khuiawh awm hawh kawm uh.
And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
