< Sam 3 >
1 Kathutkung: Devit, Devit ni a sak e la: A capa Absalom koehoi a yawng nah sak e Oe BAWIPA, kaie tarannaw teh apap poung. Kai na ka tarannaw apap poung.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
2 Taminaw ni, ahni teh Cathut koehoi e kabawpnae awmhoeh telah kai hanelah a dei awh. (Selah)
Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, nang teh kai hanlah kânguenae bahling, kaie bawilennae lah na o teh, kaie lû katawmkung lah na o.
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Kai ni hram laihoi, BAWIPA hah ka kaw toteh, ahni ni kathounge mon dawk hoi kai hah na pato. (Selah)
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 BAWIPA ni na kabawp dawkvah, kai teh ka i thai teh, ka kâhlaw thai.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 Kai hah avoivang lahoi na kalup niteh, na ka tuk e tami thong hra touh ka phat hai ka taket hoeh.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
7 Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Kaie Cathut, na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni ka tarannaw pueng e kamhru hah, na hem pouh teh, tamikathoutnaw e a hâ hah na khoe pouh.
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rungngangnae teh BAWIPA e doeh. Nange yawhawinae teh, na taminaw koe phat lawiseh. (Selah)
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
