Sam 31
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh. Na lannae hoi na rungngang haw.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
2 Kai koelah na hnâpakeng nateh, karanglah na rungngang haw. Ka kâhronae lungsong hoi rungngang nahanlah ngangnae rapan lah awm haw.
Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka lungsong hoi ka kâhronae lah na o. Hatdawkvah, na min kecu dawk na hrawi nateh, na patue haw.
For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
4 Kai hanlah, arulahoi a phai awh e tamlawk dawk hoi na rasat haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka thaonae doeh.
You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
5 Oe BAWIPA, lawkkatang Cathut, na kut dawk ka muitha ka hruek.
Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
6 Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk alawkpui lah kahruengnaw hah ka hmuhma. Hatei, kai teh BAWIPA ka kâuep.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
7 Na pahrennae lahoi, ka konawm vaiteh, ka lung pou ahawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka runae hah ouk na hmu pouh. Runae thung ka hringnae hah na panue.
I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
8 Taran kut dawk na poe laipalah, A hmuen kawnae koe ka khok hah ouk na hruek.
You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
9 Oe BAWIPA, na pahren haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae thungvah ka o. Ka lungmathoe lawi ka mit koung a ro toe. Bokheiyah, ka muitha hoi ka takthai totouh a ro toe.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh lungmathoenae hoi koung ka hno toe. Kum moikasawlah ka cingou. Ka payonnae ni ka thaonae a baw sak. Ka hru hai koung a hmawn toe.
For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.
11 Ka tarannaw ni pathoe hanelah doeh ka o. A lawkpui lah, ka imrinaw hanelah hoe ka o. Ka hui kahawi ni na panuet teh, lam dawk na ka hmawt e ni na yawng takhai.
Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.
12 Tami kadout patetlah pahnim lah ka o teh, ampaikei patetlah ka o.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami moikapap ni a dei awh e ka thai. A hmuen tangkuem takinae ao. Ka hringnae la hanelah kâcai laihoi a kamkhueng awh teh, kho a khan awh.
For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
14 Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, kai ni teh nang doeh na kâuep. Ka Cathut doeh ka ti.
But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15 Kaie tuengnaw teh na kut dawk ao. Ka tarannaw kut dawk hoi, na kapahuipalamnaw kut dawk hoi, na rungngang haw.
My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
16 Na san koe na mei ang naseh. Na pahrennae lahoi na rungngang lawiseh.
Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
17 Oe BAWIPA, kaya hoi na awm sak hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na kaw toe. Tamikathoutnaw teh, kaya laihoi phuen vah duem awm awh naseh. (Sheol h7585)
O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Tamikalannaw taran lahoi, kâoupnae, hoi matheng laihoi laithoe deinae pahni teh, lawkkamuem lah o sak lah awm seh.
May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
19 Oe nang kataketnaw hanelah, na pâkhueng e hoi tami capanaw mithmu vah, nang kâuepnaw hanelah, na noe e na hawinae hah banghloimaw a bawilen.
How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
20 Taminaw e arulahoi khokhangnae thung hoi, hlout sak nahanelah, ahnimanaw teh, na onae koe na hmalah na hro han. Tamthoe kadeinaw e lai dawk hoi na rungngang vaiteh, na rim dawk na hro han.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
21 BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kângairu a pahrennae teh, kacakpounge khopui dawk na hmu sak.
Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh na mithmu vah, tâkhawng lah yo ka o toe telah tang ka dei. Hatei, ka hram teh pahrennae ka hei e lawk hah na thai.
In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
23 Oe tamikathoungnaw pueng, BAWIPA teh lungpataw awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni yuemkamcu e hah a khetyawt teh, kâoupnaw hah moi a pathung.
Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
24 BAWIPA kâuepnaw pueng, tarankahawi lah awm awh, na lungthin a thao sak han.
Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
