Sam 143
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kaie ratoum lawk heh na thai pouh haw. Kai ni ka kâhei e hah na thai pouh haw.
A psalm of David. Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
2 Nange yuemkamcunae lahoi thoseh, nange lannae lahoi thoseh, kai hah na pato haw. Nange na san hoi lawkcengnae koe na kâenkhai hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahring e tami buet touh boehai na hmalah a lan tie awm hoeh.
Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
3 Atangcalah taran ni ka hringnae heh a rektap teh, ka hringnae hai talai dawk rekrek a suk teh, ngailawi kasawlah kadout tangcoung e patetlah hmonae um hai kai hah na o sak.
The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
4 Kai teh, ka lung apout teh ka thung vah ka lung a rek.
I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
5 Kaloum tangcoung e a hninnaw hah ka pouk teh, Bawipa ni a sak e hnonaw hoi kut hoi a sak e hnonaw hah luepluep ka pouk.
I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
6 Bawipa nang koe ka kut ka daw. Talai ka ke e patetlah ka hringnae ni nang teh na doun. (Selah)
I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. (Selah)
7 Oe BAWIPA karanglah na pato haw. Ka muitha teh a tha abaw toe. Kai teh duenae tangkawm dawk ka kum hane tami patetlah alouklah na kangvawi takhai hanh loe.
Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
8 Amom vah nange pahrenlungmanae hah na thai sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ni nang teh na kâuep toe. Ka dawn hane lamthung hah na panuek sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae ni nang doeh na kângue toe.
Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
9 Oe BAWIPA, ka tarannaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na hlout sak haw. Kai teh nang doeh na kângue.
Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
10 Nange ngainae ka tawk thai nahan, na cangkhai haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh kaie Cathut lah na o. Nange Muitha teh ahawi, kai hah lamkalan dawk na thak lawiseh.
Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
11 Oe BAWIPA na min kecu dawk kai hah na hring sak haw. Na lannae kecu dawk ka hringnae hah runae thung hoi rasat haw.
Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
12 Kai teh nange san lah ka o dawkvah, namae pahrenlungmanae lahoi ka tarannaw hah, na takhoe pouh haw.
In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
