Sam 116
1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh BAWIPA teh ka lungpataw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lawk hoi ka kâhei e hah na thai pouh.
I love YHWH, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
2 Kai koe lah a hnâ a pakeng dawkvah, ka hringyung thung ka kaw han.
Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Hat toteh, Oe BAWIPA, pahren lahoi ka hringnae hah na rungngang haw telah BAWIPA min teh ka palaw.
Then I called on the name of YHWH: "YHWH, I beg you, deliver my soul."
5 BAWIPA teh lungmakung hoi lannae lah ao. Bokheiyah, maimae Cathut teh lungmanae hoi akawi.
YHWH is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
6 BAWIPA ni tami kamawngramenaw hah a khetyawt. Kai teh ka kârahnoum navah, ama ni na rungngang.
YHWH preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

Return to your rest, my soul, for YHWH has dealt bountifully with you.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh duenae koehoi na rungngang teh, ka mit heh mitphi bonae koehoi, ka khok heh tâlawnae koehoi na rungngang toe.
For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I believed, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
11 Tami pueng laithoe a dei awh telah koe ka dei payon.
I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
12 Kai lathueng vah, BAWIPA ni hnokahawi a sak e naw dawkvah, bangmouh ahni hanlah hawinae ka sak van han vai.
What will I give to YHWH for all his benefits toward me?

Precious in the sight of YHWH is the death of his faithful ones.
