Sam 138
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kai teh nange pahrennae hah ka lungthin abuemlahoi ka pholen han, cathutnaw hmalah nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.
[A Psalm] of David. I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto thee.
2 Kai teh nange kathounge Bawkim koelah kangvawi laihoi ka bawk vaiteh, nange pahrenlungmanae hoi nange lawkkatang hanelah, na Min teh ka pholen.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh nama ni na dei e naw hah na min onae lathueng vah na tawm toe. Kai ni na kawnae hnin navah, nang ni na pato teh, ka hringnae teh tha hoi na kawisak.
In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
4 Oe BAWIPA talai van e siangpahrang pueng ni, nange lawk a thai awh toteh, na pholen awh han.
All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5 BAWIPA e lamthungnaw dawk la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e bawilennae teh a len poung.
Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD.
6 Atangcalah BAWIPA teh arasang ei nakunghai, ka rahnoum e naw hah a khetyawt. Hatei, kâoupnaw teh ahlanae koehoi a panue toe.
For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar.
7 Kai teh runae um ka cet ei nakunghai, Bawipa ni na hring sak han. Bawipa ni a kut dâw vaiteh, ka tarannaw e lungkhueknae hah ngang vaiteh, Bawipa e aranglae kut hoi kai hah na rungngang han.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8 BAWIPA ni kai hanlah a noenae a kuep sak han. Oe BAWIPA nange pahrenlungmanae teh a kangning. Na kut hoi na sak e naw heh hnoun hanh lah a.
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
