Sam 40

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh lungsaw laihoi ka ring. Kai koe lah a kamlang teh, ka hram e lawk hah a thai.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

2 Rawknae tangkom hoi tangdong thung hoi na rasa. Ka khok hah talung van a hruek teh, kacaklah na kangdue sak.

And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.

3 Maimae Cathut pholennae la katha hah ka pahni dawk a hruek. Tamimaya ni hot hah hmawt vaiteh, a taki awh vaiteh, BAWIPA a kâuep awh han.

And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

4 Ka kâoupnaw hoi cathutkaphawk koe lah lam kaphennaw koe lam ka phen hoeh niteh, BAWIPA ka kâuepnaw teh tami yawkahawi e doeh.

O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

5 Oe BAWIPA kaie Cathut, kângairu hno na sak e naw hoi, kaimouh hanlah na pouk e naw hah moi apap. Na hmalah boeba hai ka dei thai lek hoeh. Ka dei vaiteh, ka pâpho pawiteh, touk thai e hloilah doeh ao.

You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

6 Thuengnae hoi poenae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi yon thuengnae hah na hei e nahoeh. Ka hnâ teh na ang sak.

Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

7 Hatnavah, khenhaw! cakalawng dawk kaie kong thut e patetlah kai teh ka tho.

Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,

8 Oe Cathut, na lungngai sak e heh ka konawmnae doeh. Na kâlawk hai ka lungthung vah ao.

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”

9 Kalenpounge kamkhuengnae koe vah, lannae kamthang hah ka pâpho toe. Dei hanelah ka kâcakuep hoeh. Oe BAWIPA, nang nama ni roeroe na panue doeh.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

10 Na lannae teh, ka lungthung vah ka hro teh, yuemkamculah na onae hoi na rungngangnae hah ouk ka pâpho. Puenghoi kamkhuengnae koe na pahrennae hoi na lawkkatang teh duem kaawm khai thai hoeh.

I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

11 Oe BAWIPA, ngai kaawm e na lungmanae teh na pasoung laipalah awm hoeh. Na pahrennae hoi na lawkkatang ni, pout laipalah na ngue lawiseh.

You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.

12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, touklek hoeh e runae ni na kalup, ka payonnae ni na tâ. Hatdawkvah, lathueng lah ka khen thai hoeh. Ka lû dawk e sam hlak apap. Hatdawkvah, ka lungthin teh a tâwn.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

13 Oe BAWIPA, pahren lahoi na rungngang haw. Oe BAWIPA, karanglah na kabawm haw.

Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

14 Ka hringnae raphoe hanlah katawngnaw teh, kaya laihoi awm awh naseh. Kai thoenae dueng kangainaw teh, kaya laihoi pâlei lah awm naseh.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

15 Eheh, Eheh, katetnaw hah a pouknae kadeng lah kayak awh naseh.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

16 Nang katawngnaw pueng teh, nang dawk konawm laihoi lunghawi awh naseh. Na rungngangnae ka lungpataw naw ni, BAWIPA teh tawmrasang lah awmseh telah pout laipalah tet awh naseh.

All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”

17 Kai teh tamimathoe hoi tamikavout doeh. Hatei, BAWIPA ni ouk na pouk. Nang teh na kabawmkung hoi rungngangkung doeh. Hnawngcawn hanh lawi a ka Cathut.

And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
