Sam 141
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nang teh, kai ni na kaw. Karanglah kai koe tho haw. Kai ni nang na kaw nah kaie ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
A psalm of David. Lord, I call to you: hasten, to me, attend to my voice, when I call to you.
2 Kaie ratoumnae teh na hmalah hmuitui hmaisawi e patetlah thoseh, ka kut ka dâw e teh kanî a khup nah thueng e patetlah thoseh, pouk e lah awm lawiseh.
Let my prayer be presented as incense before you, and my uplifted hands as the evening meal-offering.
3 Oe BAWIPA, ka pahni karingkung na tat pouh haw. Ka pahni takhang hai ring haw.
Set, O Lord, a watch on my mouth, put a guard on the door of my lips.
4 Payonnae ka sak e taminaw hoi hawihoehnae sak nahanelah, ka lungthin heh hawihoehnae koe lah na kangvawi sak hanh. Ahnimae canei kawi hai na catnet sak hanh.
Incline not my heart to an evil matter, to busy myself in deeds of wickedness, in company with workers of evil: never may I partake of their dainties.
5 Tami kalan ni kai na hem naseh. Hot hateh pahrenlungmanae lah ao. Kai hah na yue naseh. Hot hateh, lû dawk satui awi e lah ao. Ka lû ni hot hateh mat hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie ratoumnae niteh, hawihoehnae ka sak e naw hah pou a taran han.
A wound or reproof from a good person in kindness is oil which my head shall never refuse. In their misfortune my prayer is still with them.
6 Ahnimouh ka ukkungnaw teh pango dawk tanawt lah ao awh han. Hat toteh, kaie lawknaw teh ngai ao tie hah na panue awh han.
Abandoned they are to the hands of their judges: they shall learn that my words are true.
7 Talai tai e laitueng pâpâwn e patetlah, kaie ka hrunaw teh phuen longkha koe a kâyat. (Sheol h7585)
Like stones on a country road cleft and broken so lie our bones scattered for Death to devour. (Sheol h7585)
8 Hatei, Oe Bawipa Jehovah, kai teh, nang doeh na khet toe. Nang doeh na kângue toe. Ka hringnae hah kângue han kaawm hoeh lah awm sak hanh.
But my eyes are turned towards you, O Lord. Do not pour out my life, for in you I take refuge.
9 Ahnimouh ni kai hanelah sut patûng e tangkam dawk hoi thoseh, payonnae kasaknaw e karap dawk hoi thoseh, kai hah na khoum haw.
Keep me safe from the trap they have laid for me, from the snares of the workers of trouble.
10 Kai ni hote tangkamnaw ka tapoung toteh, tamikathoutnaw teh amamouh ni a patûng awh e tangkam dawk reirei bawt awh naseh.
Into their own nets let wicked people fall; while I pass by in safety.
