Sam 30

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA na pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tawmrasang. Ka tarannaw ni na panuikhai hane na pasoung hoeh.

A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

2 Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, nang koe ka hram teh, na kabawp teh na dam sak.

O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.

3 Oe BAWIPA, ka hringnae heh phuen thung hoi na rasa teh, tangkom dawk ka bo hoeh nahanlah na hring sak. (Sheol h7585)

Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 A tamikathoungnaw, BAWIPA pholen hoi la sak awh. A min kathoung pahnim hoeh nahanlah, konawm lawk dei awh.

Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

5 A lungkhueknae teh tawkkadek doeh, a ngaikhainae teh hringyung hane doeh. Kanae teh tangmin vah a roe. Hatei, amom vah konawmnae a pha.

For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

6 Ka tawnta nateh, ka vout mahoeh toe ka ti.

And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

7 BAWIPA na ngaikhainae lahoi, ka mon teh kacaklah na kangdue sak. Na minhmai na hro toteh, ka lungrei a thai.

O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

8 Oe BAWIPA nang koe ka hram teh, BAWIPA koe ka kâhei.

To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

9 Tangkom dawk ka bo toteh, ka thi ni bang hawinae maw a tawn. Vaiphu ni na pholen vaiteh na lawkkatang hah a pâpho han na maw.

What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

10 Oe BAWIPA, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Na pahren haw. BAWIPA kabawmkung lah pou awm haw.

The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

11 Ka cingounae hah lamnae lah na coung sak.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

12 Apout totouh ka bawilennae ni kâhat laipalah na pholen teh, la a sak thai nahanlah, Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, a yungyoe hoi konawmnae lawk ka dei han.

To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
