Sam 26

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA, nang ni kai lawk na ceng haw, lungcaknae hoi ka cei teh BAWIPA nang na kâuep dawkvah ka kâhuen mahoeh.

[By David.] Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.

2 Kai hah na noumcai nateh, oe BAWIPA, ka lung ni a ngai e naw hoi ka pouknae hah na khen pouh haw.

Examine me, LORD, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3 Ka cak e na lungpatawnae lamthung kai na patue haw, yuemkamcunae ni pou na hrawi.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

4 Dumyennae hoi cungtalah ka hmawng hoeh. Tami kahawihoehnaw hai ka hmawng hoeh.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 Tami kahawihoehnaw e kamkhuengnae hah ka hmuhma, Tamikathoutnaw hoi reirei ka tahung hoeh.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 Ka kut heh thoungnae hoi ka pâsu teh BAWIPA namae thuengnae ka lawngven.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD;

7 Lunghawilawkdeinae la ka sak teh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka dei.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works.

8 BAWIPA na onae im hah kai lungpataw teh na bawilennae hmuen hah kai ni ka ngai.

LORD, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

9 Tamikayonnaw koe kai mek thei sin hanlah tami kathetnaw koe kai na tâkhawng sin hanh.

Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

10 Ahnimouh teh hawihoehnae yungyoe a sak awh. Tadawnghno ka ngai e taminaw doeh.

in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

11 Kai teh hnokahawi hoeh e ka sak, na pahren nateh na rungngang haw.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 Hnâroumcalah tanghling dawk ka kangdue teh maya a kamkhuengnae koe BAWIPA nang na pholen.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
