< Sam 4 >

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe lannae Cathut, na kaw toteh na thai pouh haw. Ka runae hah na hlai haw. Na pahren haw, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Oe tami capanaw, ka bawilennae hah nâtotouh maw kayanae lah na coung sak awh han. Nâtotouh maw ayawmyin hno hah na lungpataw awh vaiteh, payonnae hah na tawng awh han. (Selah)
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 BAWIPA ni cathutlae tami teh a rawi tie hah panuek awh haw. Ka kaw toteh BAWIPA ni na thai pouh han.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Na lungkhuek yawkaw, yonnae teh sak hanh. Na ikhun dawk na lung hoi pouk nateh duem awm.
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Lannae thuengnae hah poe nateh, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Apinimaw hawinae na hmusak han na ka tet pouh e moi ao awh. BAWIPA kaimouh koe na minhmai angnae hoi na tue haw.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 Cakang hoi misur moikapap a hmu awh dawk konawmnae hlak kalenhnawn e konawmnae hah ka lung thung na ta toe.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 Duem ka yan vaiteh, ka i han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, nang ni dueng doeh karoumcalah na o sak thai.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
