Sam 13

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, YHWH? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph 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.

Look, and answer me, YHWH, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in 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 my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of YHWH Most High.
