Sam 27

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA nang teh angnae hoi kaie rungngangnae doeh. Apihai ka taket ma hoeh. BAWIPA nang teh na kanguekung ka rapan la doeh na o ka lungpuen mahoeh.

Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?

2 Tami kahawihoehnaw ni na tuk teh thei hanlah na nout navah ouk a rawp awh teh ouk a tâlaw awh.

When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

3 Ransahu kalenpoung ni na kalup nakunghai ka lungpuen mahoeh. Taran ni na ka tuk nahai Cathut nang teh na kângue mingming han.

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

4 BAWIPA koe hno hei han ka ngai e hno buet touh doeh kaawm. Hothateh ka hring yunglam BAWIPA imthung o hane hoi yah, kângai runae lahoi lam na hrawi tie hah doeh.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

5 Rucatnae atueng dawkvah hnâroumcalah a rathei rahim na o sak. A bawkim thung vah hnâroumcalah na ta, ka rasang e lungsong van na thueng.

For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

6 Hatdawkvah ka tengpam e kaawm e ka taran teh katâ han lunghawinae pawlawk hoi a bawkim thungvah thuengnae teh ka poe han.

Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 BAWIPA pahren lahoi, kai ni na kaw navah ka lawk na thai pouh nateh kahei e na thai pouh haw.

Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

8 Kai koe, Tho haw na ka tet e BAWIPA koe ka tho han.

My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

9 Kai koe na minhmai hrawk hanh. Kai koe na lungphuen hanh, na san heh na pâlei hanh lah a. Oe Cathut kaie rungngangnae nang teh kabawmkung doeh. Na cettakhai hanh. Pak na tha hanh lah a.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 Anu hoi apa ni na ka pahnawt nakunghai BAWIPA nang ni pou na khenyawn lah a.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

11 Oe, BAWIPA taran ka tawn dawkvah roumnae lam koe lahoi na cetkhai lah a. Na ngainae na pâtu haw.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

12 Laithoe hoi pou na ka yue e taran koe na tat hanh.

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

13 A taminaw lathueng BAWIPA hawinae ka hmu roeroe han telah ka yuem.

Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 BAWIPA teh kângue awh, yuemnae tawn awh, na lungpout awh hanh. BAWIPA teh kângue awh.

Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!
