< Sam 43 >
1 Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Oe Cathut, lawk na ceng pouh haw. Cathutlaipa e miphunnaw hmalah ka kong heh lawk na ceng pouh haw. Oe tamikathoutnaw hoi kadumyennaw koehoi na rungngang haw.
Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh kaie Cathut rapanim doeh. Bangkongmaw na hnoun. Bangkongmaw na ka tarannaw kecu ka lung ouk a mathoe.
For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oe, na angnae hoi lawkkatang hah patoun haw. Hot niyah na hrawi naseh. Na mon kathoung hoi na onae lukkareiim dawk na phatkhai naseh.
Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.
4 Hottelah Cathut e thuengnae khoungroe, ka konawmnae Cathut koe ka cei han. Oe Cathut, ka Cathut, ratoung hoi na pholen han.
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.
5 Oe ka hringnae Bangkongmaw na lung a mathoe. Bangkongmaw ka thung vah, runae na kâhmo. Cathut hah kâuep haw, ama teh ka pholen han. Na kabawmkung hoi na kadamsakkung Cathut doeh.
Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
