< 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 psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
2 Ratoung tamawi kâhlaw haw. Kai hai amom ka kâhlaw han.
Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
3 Oe BAWIPA, tamimaya hmalah na pholen han. Miphunnaw rahak vah, nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.
I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungmanae ni kalvannaw totouh thoseh, na lawkkatang ni tâmai totouh thoseh a pha.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
5 Oe Cathut, kalvannaw lathueng tawm lah awm nateh, na bawilennae teh talai van pueng lathueng vah, tawm lah awm seh.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
6 Na pahren e naw hlout sak lah ao awh nahanelah, aranglae kut hoi rungngang nateh, na thai pouh haw.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save 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 promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
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.
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
9 Moab teh tui kamhluknae hlaam lah ao teh, Edom van vah khokkhawm ka tâkhawng han. Filistin van vah tânae ka pang han.
Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
10 Ka cak e khopui dawk apinimaw na kaênkhai han. Edom vah apinimaw na hrawi han.
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into 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.
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
12 Runae thung hoi na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw e kabawpnae teh cungkeihoeh.
Give us thine aid in our distress, 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 we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
