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.
In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed 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)
Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? (Pause)
3 BAWIPA ni cathutlae tami teh a rawi tie hah panuek awh haw. Ka kaw toteh BAWIPA ni na thai pouh han.
And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
4 Na lungkhuek yawkaw, yonnae teh sak hanh. Na ikhun dawk na lung hoi pouk nateh duem awm.
Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
5 Lannae thuengnae hah poe nateh, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw.
Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
6 Apinimaw hawinae na hmusak han na ka tet pouh e moi ao awh. BAWIPA kaimouh koe na minhmai angnae hoi na tue haw.
The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
7 Cakang hoi misur moikapap a hmu awh dawk konawmnae hlak kalenhnawn e konawmnae hah ka lung thung na ta toe.
By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
8 Duem ka yan vaiteh, ka i han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, nang ni dueng doeh karoumcalah na o sak thai.
In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
