Sam 108

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka lungthin heh a cak, pholennae na poe haw la ka sak han. Ka bawilennae totouh na poe han.

“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

2 Ratoung tamawi kâhlaw haw. Kai hai amom ka kâhlaw han.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

3 Oe BAWIPA, tamimaya hmalah na pholen han. Miphunnaw rahak vah, nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungmanae ni kalvannaw totouh thoseh, na lawkkatang ni tâmai totouh thoseh a pha.

For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

5 Oe Cathut, kalvannaw lathueng tawm lah awm nateh, na bawilennae teh talai van pueng lathueng vah, tawm lah awm seh.

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 Na pahren e naw hlout sak lah ao awh nahanelah, aranglae kut hoi rungngang nateh, na thai pouh haw.

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 Cathut ni, a thoungnae lahoi ka konawm vaiteh, Shekhem hah ka pek han. Sukoth ram hah koung ka bangnue han telah a ti.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Gilead teh kaie lah ao teh, Manasseh teh kai doeh. Ephraim hai kai hanlah bawilakhung lah ao teh, Judah teh ka tahroe lah ao.

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

9 Moab teh tui kamhluknae hlaam lah ao teh, Edom van vah khokkhawm ka tâkhawng han. Filistin van vah tânae ka pang han.

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Ka cak e khopui dawk apinimaw na kaênkhai han. Edom vah apinimaw na hrawi han.

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

11 Oe Cathut, kai na ka pahnawt e nang ni na sak e nahoehmaw. Oe Cathut, kaimae ransanaw hoi cungtalah na ka cet hoeh e nang ni na sak nahoehmaw.

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

12 Runae thung hoi na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw e kabawpnae teh cungkeihoeh.

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

13 Cathut hoi cungtalah maimouh teh, taranhawi laihoi sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama teh, maimae tarannaw rep kacuengroekung doeh.

Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
