Sam 54

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na min lahoi na rungngang haw. Na thaonae hoi lawk na ceng pouh haw.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

2 Oe Cathut, ka ratoum e heh thai haw. Ka dei e lawk heh na thai pouh haw.

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ramlouknaw ni kai taranlahoi a thaw awh teh, rep kacuengroenaw ni thei hanlah a kâcai awh. Cathut minhmai khoeroe khen awh hoeh. (Selah)

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

4 Khenhaw! Cathut teh na kabawmkung doeh. BAWIPA teh ka hringnae karingkungnaw koe ao.

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

5 A tawksak awh e thoenae hah ama ni a patho han. Ahnimouh teh na lawkkatang hoi raphoe haw.

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

6 Kai hai lungthocalah hoi nang koe thuengnae ka sak han. Oe BAWIPA, na min teh ka pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na hawi.

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

7 Kai hah runae phunkuep thung hoi na hlout sak teh, ka tarannaw koe ka phat e hah ka mit ni khei a hmu toe.

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
