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.
God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
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 will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
3 BAWIPA ni cathutlae tami teh a rawi tie hah panuek awh haw. Ka kaw toteh BAWIPA ni na thai pouh han.
All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
4 Na lungkhuek yawkaw, yonnae teh sak hanh. Na ikhun dawk na lung hoi pouk nateh duem awm.
When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
5 Lannae thuengnae hah poe nateh, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw.
Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
6 Apinimaw hawinae na hmusak han na ka tet pouh e moi ao awh. BAWIPA kaimouh koe na minhmai angnae hoi na tue haw.
Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
7 Cakang hoi misur moikapap a hmu awh dawk konawmnae hlak kalenhnawn e konawmnae hah ka lung thung na ta toe.
You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
8 Duem ka yan vaiteh, ka i han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, nang ni dueng doeh karoumcalah na o sak thai.
I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
