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 speaks the words of this song to YHWH in the day YHWH has delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
2 BAWIPA teh kaie lungsong, kaie rapan, kai na kahloutsakkung bawi.
and he says: “YHWH [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
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—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! 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 call on YHWH, [who is worthy] to be praised: And I am saved from my enemies.
5 Duenae tuicapa ni na kalup teh Cathut banglah noutnahoehnae tuicapa ni na taki sak.
When the breakers of death surrounded me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, The snares of death have been before 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 adversity I call on YHWH, And I call to my God, And He hears my voice from His temple, And my cry [is] in His ears,
8 Hatnavah, a lungkhueknae lahoi talai a kâhuetsak, kalvan du ditouh lengleng a kâhuet.
And the earth shakes and trembles, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He has wrath!
9 A hnawng dawk hoi hmaikhu a tâco teh, a pahni dawk hoi hmaikaknae lahoi, hmaisaan kaman sak.
Smoke has gone up by His nostrils, And fire devours from His mouth; Brands have been kindled by it.
10 Ama ni kalvan hai a pakui teh, a khoktabei rahim kho lah a hmo.
And He inclines the heavens and comes down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
11 Cherubim a kâcui teh a kamleng. Bokheiyah, kahlînaw e rathei van a hmu awh.
And He rides on a cherub and flies, And is seen 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,
And He sets darkness around Him [for His] dwelling places, Darkness of waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 a hma lae angnae lahoi hmaisaan a kaman sak.
From the brightness before Him Brands of fire were kindled!
14 BAWIPA teh kalvan vah a cairing teh, ka lentoe poung e Cathut ni lawk a dei.
YHWH thunders from the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice.
15 Licung samtang a pathui teh, ahnimanaw a kâkayei sak. Sumpapalik sak teh ahnimanaw hah a rawk sak.
And He sends forth arrows, and scatters them; Lightning, and troubles 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.
And the streams of the sea are seen, [The] foundations of the world are revealed, By the rebuke of YHWH, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
17 A rasangnae hmuen koehoi a kut a kâyap teh, tui moikapap thung hoi na rasa.
He sends from above—He takes me, He draws me out of many waters.
18 A thakasaipoung e taran kut thung hoi na rungngang. Ahnimouh ni kai na hmuhma awh teh, kai hlak a thasai awh.
He delivers me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than me.
19 A rucatnae koe ka phanae tueng dawk, na ngang awh nakunghai, BAWIPA teh kaie kânguenae lah ao.
They are before me in a day of my calamity, And YHWH is my support,
20 Kai hah kalenpounge hmuen koe na ceikhai awh teh, kai dawk a lunghawi dawkvah, na hlout sak.
And He brings me out to a large place, He draws me out for He delighted in me.
21 BAWIPA ni ka lannae patetlah na tawkphu na poe teh, ka kut a thoung e patetlah na patho.
YHWH repays me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to me.
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 YHWH, And have not done wickedly against my God.
23 A lawkcengnae pueng hah ka hmaitung vah ao. A phunglam ka cettakhai boihoeh.
For all His judgments [are] before me, As for His statutes, I do not turn from them.
24 A hmaitung hai toun hane kawi lah kaawm hoeh. Ka payonpakainae dawk hoi na hlout sak.
And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
25 Hatdawkvah, ka lannae patetlah na pathung. A mithmu vah kathounge patetlah na patho.
And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 Pahrennae ka tawn e koe pahrennae ka tawn e patetlah na kamnue teh, tamikalan koe tamikalan lah na kamnue van han.
With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
27 Tamikathoung koe, kathounge lah na kamnue vaiteh, tami lungkapataknaw koe a lungpatanae lahoi na kamnue van han.
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler.
28 Kârahnoum e tami hah na rungngang teh, kâoupnaw na pabo hanelah pou na khet.
And You save the poor people, But Your eyes on the high cause [them] to fall.
29 Oe BAWIPA, nang teh kaie hmaiim lah na o. BAWIPA ni kaie hmonae a ang sak han.
For You [are] my lamp, O YHWH, And YHWH lightens my darkness.
30 Kai ni nang na kângue e lahoi ransahu ka tâ teh, rapan hai ka yawngtapue thai.
For by You I run [against] a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
31 Cathut e a lamthung teh a kuep. Yuemkamcu lawk teh tanouk lah ao. Kâuepnaw pueng hanelah bahling lah ao.
God—His way [is] perfect, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him.
32 BAWIPA hoeh e laipalah Cathut alouke ao maw. Cathut laipalah, lungsong alouke ao maw.
For who is God except YHWH? 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—my bulwark, [my] strength, And He makes my way perfect;
34 Ka khok heh sayuk e a khok patetlah a hue a rang sak teh, a hmuen karasang e koe na o sak.
Making my feet like does, And causes me to stand on my high places,
35 Ka kut teh tarantuk nahan a cangkhai. Hottelah rahum licung hai ka sawn thai.
Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my arms,
36 Nama ni rungngangnae saiphei hah na poe teh, a lungsawnae lahoi kai teh na tawm rasang e lah ka o.
And You give the shield of Your salvation to me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
37 Kai ni ka cei nahane lamthung na pacei teh, ka khoknaw hai thawn hoeh.
You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles have not slipped.
38 Ka tarannaw ka pha teh ka thei, koung ka thei hoehroukrak kai ni ka ban hoeh.
I pursue my enemies and destroy them, And I do not turn until they are consumed.
39 Kaie ka khok rahim a rawp awh teh, a thaw thai awh hoeh nahanelah, katinkaawi teh ka thei.
And I consume them, and strike them, And they do not rise, and fall under my feet.
40 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tarantuk sak hanelah, nang ni thaonae hoi na pathoup teh, kai na katuknaw hah kaie rahim na sung sak.
And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under 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.
And my enemies—You give to me the neck, Those hating me—and I cut them off.
42 A hram awh ei, ka rungngang hane tami awmhoeh. BAWIPA teh a khet awh ei, pato awh hoeh.
They look, and there is no savior; To YHWH, and He has not answered them.
43 Hatnavah, kai ni ahnimanaw hah vaiphu patetlah reppasei lah ka phawm teh, lam dawk songnawng patetlah ka coungroe awh teh, kaheikalai awh.
And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small—I spread them out!
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.
And You deliver me From the strivings of my people, You place me for a head of nations; A people I have not known serve me.
45 Jentelnaw hah kai koe a kâpoe awh vaiteh, a thai awh tahma ka lawk a ngai awh han.
Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they listen to me.
46 Jentelnaw a tâco awh han.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
47 BAWIPA teh yungyoe a hring. Kaie lungsong, pholennae lah awm seh. Kaie rungngangnae lungsong Cathut teh, tawmrasang e lah awm naseh.
YHWH lives, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God—The Rock of my salvation.
48 Kai koe lah moi ka pathung pouh e hoi miphun pueng kaie rahim ka pabawt e teh katâkung Cathut doeh.
God—who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under 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.
And bringing me forth from my enemies, Indeed, You raise me up above my withstanders. You deliver me from a man of violence.
50 Hatdawkvah, Oe BAWIPA, kai teh Jentelnaw koevah, lunghawinae lawk ka dei vaiteh, na min pholennae la ka sak han.
Therefore I confess You, O YHWH, among nations, And I sing praise 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.
Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!”
