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 leader. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, 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 must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult 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 at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, 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 enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

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

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
