< 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 by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Taminaw ni, ahni teh Cathut koehoi e kabawpnae awmhoeh telah kai hanelah a dei awh. (Selah)
Many there are who 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 you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who 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 cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 BAWIPA ni na kabawp dawkvah, kai teh ka i thai teh, ka kâhlaw thai.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains 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 tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
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! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Rungngangnae teh BAWIPA e doeh. Nange yawhawinae teh, na taminaw koe phat lawiseh. (Selah)
Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
