Sam 13

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nâtotouh maw na pahnim yungyoe han. Nâtotouh maw kai koehoi na minhmai na hro han rah.

How long wilt thou forget me, O Yhwh? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Kai teh, ka lung pou a mathoe. Nâtotouh ne kamadueng lungreithai hoi ka i han vai. Nâtotouh ne ka lathueng ka taran ni a kâoup han rah vai.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kangvawi nateh ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Ka mit ang sak haw. Hoehpawiteh, duenae patetlah ka ip payon vaih.

Consider and hear me, O Yhwh my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Hoehpawiteh, ka taran ni ahni ka tâ toe ati han doeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka kâroe navah, runae na kapoenaw a konawm awh langvaih.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Hatei, na lungmanae hah ka kâuep teh, na rungngangnae dawk ka lungthin a konawm han.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 BAWIPA koe la ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lathueng ahawi tangngak.

I will sing unto Yhwh, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
