Sam 5
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Ka khopouknae hah na pouk pouh haw.
To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David. To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:
2 Ka siangpahrang hoi ka Cathut, ka hramnae hah na thai pouh haw. Nang koevah, ka ratoum.
Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, 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.
O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh thoenae dawk a lung kahawi e Cathut nahoeh. Thoenae hai nang koe awm hoeh.
For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:
5 Na hmithmu vah kâoupnaw teh kangdout thai mahoeh. Payonnae ka sak e pueng teh na hmuhma.
Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes, —Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:
6 Laithoe kadeinaw hah na raphoe teh, dumyennae hoi tami theikahrannaw hah Bawipa ni a panuet.
Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood, —The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.
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, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:
8 Oe BAWIPA, ka tarannaw kecu dawk na lannae hoi na hrawi haw, ka hmalah na lam hah lan sak haw.
O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:
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 in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, —An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.
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.
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, —Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: —
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.
That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.
12 Bangtelane Oe BAWIPA, tamikalan yawhawi na poe vaiteh, minhmai kahawi hoi bahling patetlah na ramuk han.
For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield—with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
