Sam 22
1 Kathutkung: Devit Ka Cathut, ka Cathut, bangkongmaw na cei takhai. Bangkongmaw ka kâhramnae lawk thai laipalah, na kabawp hoeh nahanlah ahlanae koe na o.
Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
2 Oe Cathut, khodai lah kâhram ei, nang ni na thai pouh hoeh. Karum lahai duem ka onae awm hoeh.
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
3 Hatei, nang teh, na thoung. Isarelnaw ni pholen e lah na o.
But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
4 Ka mintoenaw ni na kâuep teh, na rungngang.
In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
5 Na kaw awh teh, na rungngang. Na kâuep awh teh, yeiraipo boi awh hoeh.
They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 Hatei, kai teh tangraet lah doeh ka o. Ayâ ni pathoe e hoi pacekpahlek e lah ka o.
But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
7 Na ka hmawt e pueng ni na panuikhai, a pahni na ke sin awh. A lû na saling sin awh.
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
8 BAWIPA a kâuep nahoehmaw, ama ni rungngang na haw seh. Ahni dawk a ngainae awm pawiteh, atu roeroe rungngang na haw seh, telah ati awh.
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9 Hatei, nang teh anu von thung hoi na karasatkung doeh. Sanu ka nei lahun nah puennae na takhoe pouh.
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10 Pek khe hoi nang dawk hruek e lah ka o. Anu von thung hoi patenghai, nang teh ka Cathut lah yo la na o toe.
I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God,
11 Kai koehoi ahlanae koe awm hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae a hnai teh kabawmkung awm hoeh.
Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
12 Maitotan moikapap ni na kalup. Bashan ram e athakaawme maitotannaw ni na kalup.
Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
13 A pahni na ang sin awh teh, sendek patetlah a cairing awh.
They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
14 Tui patetlah rabawk lah ka o teh, ka hruhrawng pueng teh koung a kâla. Ka lungthin teh khoilai patetlah ka thung vah, a kamyawt toe.
I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
15 Ka tharui teh ampaikei patetlah a ke teh, ka lai hai ka dangka dawk a kâbet teh, duenae vaiphu dawk na ceikhai.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, uinaw ni na kalup awh. Tamikathoutnaw ni na kalup awh. Ka kut hoi ka khok pawkkayawng lah a thut awh.
For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
17 Ka hru pueng koung ka touk thai. Pout laipalah na khet awh teh, a lungkhuekti awh.
They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
18 Ka khohna a kârei awh teh, ka angki hah cungpam a rayu awh.
They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
19 Oe BAWIPA na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka thaonae karanglah na kabawm haw.
But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
20 Senehmaica hoi na rungngang haw, ka hringnae ka sungren e heh uinaw thaonae koehoi na rungngang haw.
Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.
21 Sendek kâko dawk hoi na rungngang nateh, savi ki dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Na pato leih.
Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
22 Ka hmaunawnghanaw koe na min ka pâpho vaiteh, kamkhuengnaw koe na pholen han.
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
23 Nangmouh BAWIPA kataketnaw, ama teh pholen awh. Jakop catounnaw pueng ama teh tawmrasang awh nateh, Isarel catounnaw pueng ama teh taket awh.
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
24 Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae ka khang e runae hah, dudam hoeh niteh, ahni koehoi a minhmai hai hrawk hoeh. Hatei, ahni koe a hram toteh a thai.
Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
25 Kalen e kamkhuengnae koe ka pholen e teh nang han doeh. Ama kataketnaw hmalah ka lawkkam hah ka kuep sak han.
With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
26 Tami ka roedeng ni cat vaiteh a von a paha han. Ama katawngnaw ni BAWIPA teh a pholen han. Na lungthin hah pou kâhlaw seh.
The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
27 Talai poutnae pueng ni a pâkuem awh teh, BAWIPA koe a kamlang awh vaiteh, miphun pueng ni na bawk awh han.
All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, uknaeram teh BAWIPA e doeh. Miphunnaw hah a uk.
For the kingdom is the Lord’s; and he shall have dominion over the nations.
29 Talaivan katawntanaw pueng ni cat awh vaiteh a bawk awh han. Ma e hringnae ring thai awh hoeh. Vaiphu lah ka ban e pueng a hmalah a tabo awh han.
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
30 Ahnimae catounnaw ni hai a bawk awh vaiteh, catounnaw ni hai BAWIPA e kamthang hah a dei awh han.
And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.
31 A lannae, pâpho hanelah a tho awh vaiteh, khe lah kaawm hane naw koe BAWIPA ni hetheh a sak telah a pâpho awh han.
There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
