Sam 5
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Ka khopouknae hah na pouk pouh haw.
Give ear to my words, Adonai. Consider my (meditation)
2 Ka siangpahrang hoi ka Cathut, ka hramnae hah na thai pouh haw. Nang koevah, ka ratoum.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
3 Oe BAWIPA, amom vah, ka lawk na thai han. Amom vah nang koe lah kangvawi laihoi, lathueng lah ka khet han.
Adonai, in the morning you shall sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh thoenae dawk a lung kahawi e Cathut nahoeh. Thoenae hai nang koe awm hoeh.
For you are not a God who has pleasure in ethical wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
5 Na hmithmu vah kâoupnaw teh kangdout thai mahoeh. Payonnae ka sak e pueng teh na hmuhma.
The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of vain striving of iniquity.
6 Laithoe kadeinaw hah na raphoe teh, dumyennae hoi tami theikahrannaw hah Bawipa ni a panuet.
You will destroy those who speak lies. Adonai abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 Hatei kai teh, na lungmanae apap kecu dawk na im vah ka tho han. Nang taki laihoi kathounge Bawkim koelah kangvawi laihoi na bawk han.
But as for me, in the abundance of your chesed ·loving-kindness· I will come into your house. I will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8 Oe BAWIPA, ka tarannaw kecu dawk na lannae hoi na hrawi haw, ka hmalah na lam hah lan sak haw.
Lead me, Adonai, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a pahni dawk yuemkamcunae awmhoeh. Athung lae teh rawknae doeh. A lawkron teh kamawng e tangkom doeh. A laihoi dueng doeh ayânaw a oup awh.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
10 Oe Cathut, yon pen haw. Amamouh ni a sak awh e dawk letlang bawt awh naseh. Kâtapoenae moipap dawkvah, tâkhawng haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang taran laihoi taran a thaw awh.
Hold them condemned guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their rebellious breaches of relationships, for they have rebelled against you.
11 Hatei, nang ka kâuep e pueng, konawm awh naseh. Na ngue dawkvah, konawm laihoi hram awh naseh. Na min ka lungpataw naw hai nang dawk konawm awh naseh.
But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who 'ahav ·affectionately love· your name be joyful in you.
12 Bangtelane Oe BAWIPA, tamikalan yawhawi na poe vaiteh, minhmai kahawi hoi bahling patetlah na ramuk han.
For you will bless the upright. Adonai, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
