Sam 41
1 Kathutkung: Devit Tamimathoe hanelah ka pouk pouh e tami teh a yawkahawi e doeh. Runae tueng nah ahni hah BAWIPA ni a hlout sak han.
For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.
2 BAWIPA ni a hlout sak vaiteh, a pasai han. A tarannaw koe poe hanlah na pasoung mahoeh.
He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.
3 A pataw teh sut a yan navah BAWIPA ni thapoe vaiteh, amae hmalah bout na thaw sak han.
The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.
4 BAWIPA na pahren haw, ka hringnae heh dam sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang taranlahoi ka yon toe telah ka ti.
For this cause I say, “Lord, show me your favor; heal me, because I have sinned against you.”
5 Ka tarannaw ni nâtuek maw a due vaiteh a min raphoe lah ao han telah, thoenae koelah dueng na dei awh.
My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”
6 Na tho sin nahaiyah laithoe duengdoeh a dei awh. A lungthin ni payonnae dueng hah a pâkhueng teh, alawilah a tâco nah tangkuem koe ouk a dei.
When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.
7 Na kahmuhmanaw pueng ni kai taranlahoi arulawk a kâdei awh teh, kai pataw nahane dueng doeh a kâdei awh.
In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.
8 Patawnae kathout ni a man toung dawkvah, atu sut a yan toe, thaw mahoeh toe telah a kâdei awh.
“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.”
9 Ka hui kahawi, ka kâuep e, kaie rawca ka cat e niyah, kai taranlahoi a khokpaimai na tawm sin.
My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.
10 Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, ahnimouh moi ka pathung thai nahanlah, na pahren nateh, bout na thaw sak haw.
But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.
11 Hete kong dawk kai dawk na lunghawi doeh tie ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw ni na tâ awh hoeh.
By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.
12 Kai teh pouknae kalan ka tawn dawkvah, na tawm nateh na hmalah pou na hrueng haw.
For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.
13 Isarel BAWIPA teh, a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh pholen lah awm lawiseh. Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen.
