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.

“A psalm of David.” The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the shield of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

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 me, Even my persecutors and enemies, they 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 a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, yet will I be confident.

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 have I desired of the LORD; that do I yet seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the grace of the LORD, And to gaze upon 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 pavilion; Yea, in the secret place of his tabernacle will he shelter me; He will set me 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.

Yea, already doth he lift my head above my enemies, who are around me; Therefore in his tabernacle will I offer sacrifices with the sound of trumpets; I will sing, yea, with instruments of music I will give praise 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 my voice, O LORD! when I cry unto thee; Have pity upon me, and answer me!

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

When I think of thy precept, “Seek ye my face!” Thy face, LORD, do I 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.

O hide not thou thy face from me; Cast not thy servant away in displeasure! Thou hast been my help, do not leave me; Do not forsake me, O God, my helper!

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

For my father and my mother have forsaken me; But the LORD will take me up.

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

Teach me thy way, O LORD! And lead me in the right path, because of my enemies!

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

Give me not up to the will of my adversaries! For false witnesses have risen up against me, And such as breathe out injustice.

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

I trust that I shall see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Hope thou in the LORD!

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

Be of good courage; let thy heart be strong; Hope thou in the LORD!
