2 Samuel 22
1 Devit ni, Sawl hoi a taran pueng e kut thung hoi BAWIPA ni a rungngang nah hnin vah, BAWIPA e hmaitung a sak e lanaw teh:
And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 BAWIPA teh kaie lungsong, kaie rapan, kai na kahloutsakkung bawi.
He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
3 Ka thaonae kaie Cathut, kai ni ka kâuep e, ka bahling hoi kai rungngangnae ki, ka rapanim kânguenae lah ao. Kaie rapan lah na o. Rektapnae thung hoi na rungngang haw.
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
4 Pholen han kamcu e BAWIPA teh ka kaw vaiteh, taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang han.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 Duenae tuicapa ni na kalup teh Cathut banglah noutnahoehnae tuicapa ni na taki sak.
For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ka lungreithai navah, BAWIPA ka kaw teh, ka Cathut koevah ka hram. Bawkim dawk hoi ka lawk a thai teh, ka hramnae lawk hah a hnâ thung a kâen.
In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.
8 Hatnavah, a lungkhueknae lahoi talai a kâhuetsak, kalvan du ditouh lengleng a kâhuet.
Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
9 A hnawng dawk hoi hmaikhu a tâco teh, a pahni dawk hoi hmaikaknae lahoi, hmaisaan kaman sak.
Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
10 Ama ni kalvan hai a pakui teh, a khoktabei rahim kho lah a hmo.
He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
11 Cherubim a kâcui teh a kamleng. Bokheiyah, kahlînaw e rathei van a hmu awh.
He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
12 A hmonae hah ama kalupkung lah a sak teh, tui hoi katha poung e tâmainaw a pâkhueng teh,
He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
13 a hma lae angnae lahoi hmaisaan a kaman sak.
From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
14 BAWIPA teh kalvan vah a cairing teh, ka lentoe poung e Cathut ni lawk a dei.
The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 Licung samtang a pathui teh, ahnimanaw a kâkayei sak. Sumpapalik sak teh ahnimanaw hah a rawk sak.
He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
16 BAWIPA ni yuenae hoi a hnawng dawk hoi kahlî a tâco sak e lahoi, tuipui a dengnae koehoi talaivan adu ungnae hah koung a kamnue sak.
The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17 A rasangnae hmuen koehoi a kut a kâyap teh, tui moikapap thung hoi na rasa.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
18 A thakasaipoung e taran kut thung hoi na rungngang. Ahnimouh ni kai na hmuhma awh teh, kai hlak a thasai awh.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
19 A rucatnae koe ka phanae tueng dawk, na ngang awh nakunghai, BAWIPA teh kaie kânguenae lah ao.
They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
20 Kai hah kalenpounge hmuen koe na ceikhai awh teh, kai dawk a lunghawi dawkvah, na hlout sak.
He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
21 BAWIPA ni ka lannae patetlah na tawkphu na poe teh, ka kut a thoung e patetlah na patho.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e a lamthung hah pou ka dawn teh, kaie Cathut koehoi yon hoi kahmat boihoeh.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 A lawkcengnae pueng hah ka hmaitung vah ao. A phunglam ka cettakhai boihoeh.
For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
24 A hmaitung hai toun hane kawi lah kaawm hoeh. Ka payonpakainae dawk hoi na hlout sak.
And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
25 Hatdawkvah, ka lannae patetlah na pathung. A mithmu vah kathounge patetlah na patho.
So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
26 Pahrennae ka tawn e koe pahrennae ka tawn e patetlah na kamnue teh, tamikalan koe tamikalan lah na kamnue van han.
To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
27 Tamikathoung koe, kathounge lah na kamnue vaiteh, tami lungkapataknaw koe a lungpatanae lahoi na kamnue van han.
to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
28 Kârahnoum e tami hah na rungngang teh, kâoupnaw na pabo hanelah pou na khet.
You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29 Oe BAWIPA, nang teh kaie hmaiim lah na o. BAWIPA ni kaie hmonae a ang sak han.
For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
30 Kai ni nang na kângue e lahoi ransahu ka tâ teh, rapan hai ka yawngtapue thai.
For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
31 Cathut e a lamthung teh a kuep. Yuemkamcu lawk teh tanouk lah ao. Kâuepnaw pueng hanelah bahling lah ao.
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 BAWIPA hoeh e laipalah Cathut alouke ao maw. Cathut laipalah, lungsong alouke ao maw.
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
33 Cathut teh ka thaonae hoi ka kângue e lah ao, ka lamthung a hmacawn sak.
God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
34 Ka khok heh sayuk e a khok patetlah a hue a rang sak teh, a hmuen karasang e koe na o sak.
He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
35 Ka kut teh tarantuk nahan a cangkhai. Hottelah rahum licung hai ka sawn thai.
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 Nama ni rungngangnae saiphei hah na poe teh, a lungsawnae lahoi kai teh na tawm rasang e lah ka o.
You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
37 Kai ni ka cei nahane lamthung na pacei teh, ka khoknaw hai thawn hoeh.
You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
38 Ka tarannaw ka pha teh ka thei, koung ka thei hoehroukrak kai ni ka ban hoeh.
I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 Kaie ka khok rahim a rawp awh teh, a thaw thai awh hoeh nahanelah, katinkaawi teh ka thei.
I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
40 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarantuk sak hanelah, nang ni thaonae hoi na pathoup teh, kai na katuknaw hah kaie rahim na sung sak.
You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
41 Kai na ka hmuhma e a lahuennaw hah kai koe na poe teh, nama ni kai na katuknaw hah hnuklah na kamlang sak.
You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
42 A hram awh ei, ka rungngang hane tami awmhoeh. BAWIPA teh a khet awh ei, pato awh hoeh.
They looked, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
43 Hatnavah, kai ni ahnimanaw hah vaiphu patetlah reppasei lah ka phawm teh, lam dawk songnawng patetlah ka coungroe awh teh, kaheikalai awh.
I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44 Nang ni ka taminaw hoi hawihoehnae dawk hoi na rungngang teh, Jentelnaw e kaukkung lah na o sak nahanelah, na ring e ka panuek boihoeh e naw ni, kaimae thaw a tawk awh han.
You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
45 Jentelnaw hah kai koe a kâpoe awh vaiteh, a thai awh tahma ka lawk a ngai awh han.
Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
46 Jentelnaw a tâco awh han.
Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
47 BAWIPA teh yungyoe a hring. Kaie lungsong, pholennae lah awm seh. Kaie rungngangnae lungsong Cathut teh, tawmrasang e lah awm naseh.
The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
48 Kai koe lah moi ka pathung pouh e hoi miphun pueng kaie rahim ka pabawt e teh katâkung Cathut doeh.
the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
49 Tarannaw e kut dawk hoi, na hlout sak. Kai na ka taran naw e a lathueng vah, na tawm teh, ka mathoutmakainaw e kut dawk hoi na hlout sak.
who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
50 Hatdawkvah, Oe BAWIPA, kai teh Jentelnaw koevah, lunghawinae lawk ka dei vaiteh, na min pholennae la ka sak han.
Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
51 Cathut teh a siangpahrang hanelah, rungngangnae imrasang lah ao teh, satui a awi e Devit hoi a canaw koe lathueng vah yungyoe hoi yungyoe totouh, pahren lungmanae a kamnue sak.
Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
