Sam 18
1 Kathutkung: Devit, Bawipa e san, Devit ni Sawl koehoi taran kut dawk hoi, hloutsaknae hawinae coe torei teh, BAWIPA hmalah sak e la Oe ka thaonae BAWIPA, nang teh na lungpataw han.
Unto the end, for David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
2 BAWIPA teh kaie lungsong, kaie rapan, kaie rungngangkung lah ao. Kaie Cathut, ka thaonae, ka kâuep e bahling hoi ka rungngangnae ki hoi ka rapanim lah ao.
The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
3 Pholen kamcu BAWIPA teh ka kaw vaiteh, ka tarannaw um hoi rungngang lah ka o han.
Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
4 Due patawnae ni na kalup, Cathut takihoehnae tuikalen ni na taki sak.
The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Kângairu kecu dawk BAWIPA ka kaw teh, ka Cathut koe ka hram. A Bawkim koehoi na thai pouh teh, a hmalah ka hramnae hah a hnâ koe a pha.
In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.
7 Hottelah, talai a kâhuet teh a pâyaw. A lungkhuek dawkvah, mondunaw totouh a pâyaw teh, a kâhuet awh.
The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
8 A hnawng dawk hoi hmaikhu a luen takhang teh, a pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e hmai ni, koung a kak awh teh, hote e niyah hmaisaan a kaman sak.
There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
9 Ama ni kalvan a kamkuisak teh, a kum cathuk. A khok rahim vah hmonae teh ao.
He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 Cherub a kâcui teh a kamleng. Kahlî rathei van vah a kamleng.
And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
11 Hmonae teh ka dungpoung e hmuen lah a coung sak. Tui hmonae hoi kathapoung e kalvan tâmai hah ama kangangkung lah ao.
And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
12 A hmalae angnae ni, kathapoung e tâmai a kâhin sak teh, roun hoi hmaisaan a bo.
At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
13 BAWIPA ni kalvan hoi khoparit sak, A Lathueng Poung Cathut ni a lawk a tâcosak.
And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14 A lipala hah a pathui teh, a taran hah a pâyaw sak. Sumpa a palik sak teh, koung a tâ.
And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
15 Oe BAWIPA, na yuenae hoi na hnawng dawk e kâha ni a hmu dawkvah, talî laheipadin teh koung a kamnue teh, talaivan e dunaw teh a kamnue awh.
Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
16 Lathueng hoi na kut na dâw teh, moikapap e tui thung hoi na rasa toe.
He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
17 A thakaawmpounge ka taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang teh, na ka hmuhma ni teh athakaawmpounge naw koehoi haiyah na rungngang.
He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 Ahnimouh ni runae ka kâhmo navah, na kangdue sin awh. Hatei, BAWIPA teh ka kâuep e doeh.
They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
19 A hmuen kaw poung koe kai hah na thak. Kai dawk a lunghawi dawkvah, na rungngang.
And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
20 BAWIPA ni, ka lannae patetlah aphu na poe. Ka kut a thoung e patetlah na patho toe.
And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lamthung hah ka pâkuem teh, ka Cathut teh kahawihoeh lahoi ka cettakhai boihoeh.
Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lawkcengnae pueng teh ka hmalah ao teh, a coungnae hah ka tâkhawng boihoeh.
For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
23 A hmaitung toun awm laipalah ka o teh, payonnae hah ka roun.
And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
24 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni ka lannae patetlah na patho. A mithmu ka thoungnae patetlah na patho.
And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
25 Tami ka pahren e koe pahrennae na kamnue sak vaiteh, tamikalan koe lannae hah na kamnue sak han.
With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
26 Tami kathoung koe na thoungnae na kamnue sak vaiteh, tami ka taran e koe tarannae hah na kamnue sak han.
And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
27 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kârahnoumnaw hah, na rungngang teh, kâoupnaw hah na pabo han.
For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
28 Ka hmaiim hah na ang sak teh, BAWIPA ka Cathut ni kaie hmonae hah a ang sak han.
For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.
29 Nang pawlawk lahoi ransahu hah ka raphoe han. Ka Cathut pawlawk lahoi khorapan ka kawi thai han.
For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.
30 Cathut e lamthung teh a kuep. BAWIPA e lawk teh a thoung dawkvah, Ama kâuep e tami pueng hanelah bahling lah ao.
As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.
31 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA laipateh, bangpatet e Cathut alouke maw kaawm.
For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
32 Thaonae hoi na kapathoupkung teh Cathut doeh. Ka lamthung hai a kuep sak.
God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
33 Ama ni ka khok heh sayuk khok patetlah a sak teh, a hmuen rasangnae koe na o sak.
Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.
34 Ka kut heh tarantuknae a cangkhai. Hatdawkvah, ka kut ni rahum licung patenghai a sawn thai.
Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
35 Na rungngangnae bahling hai na poe toe. Aranglae kut hoi na kuet, na panguepnae ni na tawmdawm.
And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
36 Ka ceinae lamthung na kaw sak dawkvah, tâlaw laipalah ka o.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
37 Ka taran ka pâlei teh ka pha. Koung ka raphoe hoehroukrak ka ban takhai boihoeh.
I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
38 Bout a thaw thai hoeh nahanelah, hmâ ka paca teh, ka khok rahim koung a rawp awh.
I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
39 Tarantuk hanelah na pathoup toung dawkvah, na katarankung teh ka rahim vah tâ lah ao.
And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
40 Ka taran teh na yawng sak. Hottelah na kahmuhmanaw heh ka raphoe.
And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
41 Ahnimouh teh a hram awh. Hatei, ahnimouh rungngangkung awm hoeh. BAWIPA koe a hram awh ei, pato hoeh.
They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
42 Hottelah, vaiphu kahlî ni a palek e patetlah dikkaneng lah ka nep teh, lamthung dawk e songnawng patetlah ka tâkhawng.
And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
43 Ka yonnaw thung hoi na rungngang teh, miphunnaw e lû lah na coung sak. Ka panue hoeh e naw ni ka thaw a tawk awh han.
Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
44 Ka lawk a thai awh tahma vah, a tarawi awh teh, ramlouk taminaw hai kai koe a kâhei awh.
A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
45 Ramlouk taminaw teh koung a yawng awh teh, a kâhronae hmuen koehoi, taki laihoi a tâco awh.
The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
46 BAWIPA teh a hring. Kaie lungsong teh pholen lah awm seh. Kaie rungngangnae Cathut teh tawm lah awm seh.
The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:
47 Cathut teh moipathung pouh kung lah ao teh, ka rahim e taminaw katâkung lah ao.
O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
48 Ka tarannaw koehoi na rungngang teh, na katarankungnaw lathueng vah, na tawm. Rektapnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang.
And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
49 Hatdawkvah BAWIPA, Jentelnaw rahak vah, nang koe lunghawilawk ka dei vaiteh, na min pholen hoi la ka sak han.
Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
50 A siangpahrang koevah, ka len e hloutnae a poe teh, satui awi e Devit hoi, a catounnaw lathueng vah, a yungyoe hoi a lungmanae a kamnue sak.
Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed: and to his seed for ever.
