1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, Devit hai thoseh, a khang e rektapnae hai thoseh,
A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all his afflictions.
2 BAWIPA koe bangtelane thoe a kâbo tie hai thoseh, Jakop miphun e athakaawme Bawipa koe bangtelamaw lawk a kam tie hai thoseh, pouk haw.
Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 Ahni ni BAWIPA onae, Jakop miphun e Athakasaipounge a onae hmuen ka hmu hoehroukrak,
'If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
4 kama im ka ban mahoeh, ka ikhun dawk ka luen mahoeh,
If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids — slumber,
5 ka ip mahoeh, ka mit ka pakhap mahoeh telah lawk a kam.
Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the Mighty One of Jacob.
6 Khenhaw! Ephrath vah, ka thai a teh, ratu thung vah ka hmu awh.
'Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
7 Ama onae koe cet awh sei. Ama khok toungnae hmalah tabawk awh sei.
We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
8 Oe BAWIPA nama e thaonae thingkong hoi cungtalah, nama e roumnae koe luen haw.
Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength,
9 Nange vaihmanaw teh lannae hah khohnat awh naseh. Nange tami kathoungnaw ni hai lunghawicalah la sak awh naseh.
Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones cry aloud.
10 Na san Devit minhmai khet lahoi satui na awi e hah pahnawt hanh loe.
For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face of Thine anointed.
11 BAWIPA ni Devit koe thoe a bo teh bout raphoe hoeh hane lawk teh: na catoun hah na bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung sak han.
Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.
12 Na capanaw ni kaie lawkkam hoi kaie lawkpanuesaknae hah tarawi awh pawiteh, ahnimae capanaw hai nange bawitungkhung dawk pou a tahung awh han tie hah doeh.
If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Zion hah a rawi teh, hawvah o nahane hmuen lah ta hane a ngai dawkvah,
For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
14 hote hmuen teh a yungyoe kaie roumnae hmuen lah ao. Hote hmuen hah ka ngai dawkvah, hawvah ka o han.
This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.
15 Hote hmuen koe rawca yawhawi ka poe han. Hote hmuen koe mathoenaw hai rawca ka boum sak han.
Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy [with] bread,
16 Hote hmuen koe e vaihmanaw heh rungngangnae hoi ka ramuk vaiteh, tami kathoungnaw ni lunghawi laihoi la a sak awh han.
And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.
17 Hawvah, Devit e ki hah ka cawn sak han. Satui ka awi e tami hanelah, hmaiim sut ka hruek pouh.
There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.
18 Kai ni ahnie tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi ka ramuk pouh han. Ahni koe teh, amae lentoenae lukhung kamhlawng sak han telah a ti.
His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth his crown flourish!
