< 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 the presence of his son Abessalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
2 Taminaw ni, ahni teh Cathut koehoi e kabawpnae awmhoeh telah kai hanelah a dei awh. (Selah)
Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. (Pause)
3 Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, nang teh kai hanlah kânguenae bahling, kaie bawilennae lah na o teh, kaie lû katawmkung lah na o.
But you, O Lord, are my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.
4 Kai ni hram laihoi, BAWIPA hah ka kaw toteh, ahni ni kathounge mon dawk hoi kai hah na pato. (Selah)
I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. (Pause)
5 BAWIPA ni na kabawp dawkvah, kai teh ka i thai teh, ka kâhlaw thai.
I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help 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 people, who beset 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, Lord; deliver me, my God: for you have struck all who were without cause mine enemies; you have broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Rungngangnae teh BAWIPA e doeh. Nange yawhawinae teh, na taminaw koe phat lawiseh. (Selah)
Deliverance is the Lord's, and your blessing is upon your people.
