Saam 71
1 Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk; ityk awh awm chah qai koeh ni huh sak.
By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in you: let me never be put to shame.
2 Na dyngnaak ing ni boem nawhtaw ni hul lah; kai benna nang haa hawi law nawhtaw ni hul lah.
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline your ear to me, and save me.
3 Ka cehnaak loet aham kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh; kai hul aham awi pe lah, kawtih nang taw ka lungnu ingkaw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for you are my fortress and my refuge.
4 AW ka Khawsa, thlak thawlhkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak tlung am tunaak awhkawng ni hul lah.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
5 Aw Boeimang Bawipa, nang taw kang ngaih-unaak kung na awm hyk ti, ka tawng plang awhkawng ka ypnaak na awm hawh hyk ti.
For you are my support, O Lord; O Lord, [you are] my hope from my youth.
6 Ka thang plek ca awhkawng ni nang awh kang hang qu hawh hy; nang ing ka nu puk khui awhkawng nik dawk hyk ti. Nang ve ang loet na nim kyihcah vang.
On you have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother you are my protector: of you is my praise continually.
7 Thlang khawzah ang ngaihkyi naak na awm nyng. Cehlai, nang taw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
I am become as it were a wonder to many: but you are [my] strong helper.
8 Kam kha ve nang kyihcahnaak ing be nawh, khawnghi zung na boeimangnaak ce kqawn hy.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn your glory, [and] your majesty all the day.
9 Ka pacawng awh ce nang ing koeh ni qoek sut; kak tha a boeih awh ce koeh ni qoeng sut.
Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 Ikawtih, ka qaalkhqi ing kai ama ni ngaihnaak awi kqawn unawh; kai him aham anik qehkhqi mi kut oet na hqui qu uhy.
For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Cekkhqi ing, Khawsa ing qoek hawh hy; hquut u nawhtaw tu uh, u ingawm am hul tang ti kaw,” ti uhy.
saying, God has forsaken him: persecute you and take him; for there is none to deliver [him].
12 Aw Khawsa, ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak: Aw ka Khawsa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw near to my help.
13 Kai thawlh anik pukkhqi ce chahqai phyi u seitaw, kai a thawlh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kqawn setnaak ingkaw kaw boetnaak ing sing khqi khoep seh nyng.
Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonor.
14 Cehlai, kai ingtaw ngaih-unaak ta loet nyng; nang ce nim kyihcah khqoet khqoet kawng nyng.
But I will hope continually, and will praise you more and more.
15 Kam kha ing nang a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawmsaw, a nyhtahnaak am sim hqawh bai nyng seiawm, na hulnaak ce myngawi na kqawn kawng.
My mouth shall declare your righteousness openly, [and] your salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs [of men].
16 Aw Boeimang Khawsa, law nyng saw nang ak thaawm ik-oeih saikhqi ce khypyi kawng nyng; nang a koe, nang doeng a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawng nyng.
I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of your righteousness only.
17 Aw Khawsa, ka tawng plang awhkawng nang ing ni cawngpyi tiksaw, tuhngawi dy awh nang a kawpoek kyi ik-oeih saikhqi ce kqawn nyng,
O God, you have taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare your wonders;
18 Hang pacawng nawh ka lusam kqawk hawh seiawm, Aw Khawsa, nak thaawmnaak ce ak law hly cadilkhqi ingkaw ak law hly thlangkhqi venawh kak kqawn hlan dy, nang ing koeh ni qoek sut.
even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared your arm to all the generation that is to come:
19 Aw Khawsa, ik-oeih bau soeih ak saikung, na dyngnaak ing khawnghi hak pha hy, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai?
even your power and your righteousness, O God, up to the highest [heavens, even] the mighty works which you has done: O God, who is like to you?
20 Kyinaak khawzah papa ingkaw ak kha soeih khawzah na ni huh sak hawh hlai hyk ti, ka hqingnaak ve ni pe tlaih kawp ti, dek a dungnaak a hun awhkawng ni hak dawk tlaih kawp ti.
What afflictions many and sore have you showed me! yet you did turn and quicken me, and brought me again from the depths of the earth.
21 Ka thangleeknaak pung law sak kawm tiksaw ni ngaih ding law sak tlaih bai kawp ti.
You did multiply your righteousness, and did turn and comfort me, and brought me again out of the depths of the earth.
22 Aw ka Khawsa, na ypawmnaak awh nang ce tingtoeng ing nim kyihcah kawng nyng saw; Aw Israel a thlak ciim, qaw tingtoeng tum doena nang kyihcahnaak laa ce sa vang.
I will also therefore give thanks to you, O God, [because of] your truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to you on the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Nang kyihcahnaak laa ka sak awh ce ka hui ve zeel doena khy kaw. Kai ve nang ing ni, nani hul hy.
My lips shall rejoice when I sing to you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 Kam lai ing nang a ik-oeih sai ak dyng ce khawnghi zung kqawn kaw, kawtih kai tlawh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce chahqai phyi unawh ngaihang tumna awm hawh uhy.
Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon your righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt.
