Sam 20

1 Kathutkung: Devit Runae hnin dawk BAWIPA ni na pato naseh. Jakop Cathut min lahoi na roum sak naseh.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

2 Hmuen kathoung koehoi kabawpnae teh tâcawt sak naseh. Zion hoi tha awm sak naseh.

May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

3 Na thuengnae pueng na thai pouh naseh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hai dâw naseh.

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

4 Na ngainae patetlah na poe naseh, na pouknae patetlah kuep sak naseh.

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

5 Na rungngangnae dawk ka konawm awh vaiteh, Cathut min lahoi lukkarei a yap awh han. BAWIPA ni na hei e pueng kuep sak lawiseh.

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

6 BAWIPA ni satui awi e a rungngang tie atuvah panue awh toe. Kathounge kalvan hoi a rungngangnae aranglae kut, athakaawme hoi na pato han.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

7 Atangawn ni leng a kâuep awh teh, atangawn ni marang a kâuep awh. Hatei, kaimouh teh, BAWIPA Cathut min hah pou ka kâuep awh han.

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Ahnimouh teh tabut hoi a rawp awh. Hatei, kaimouh teh ka thaw awh teh, kalancalah ka kangdue awh.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

9 BAWIPA rungngang haw. Ka kaw toteh siangpahrang ni na pato naseh.

Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
