Sam 55
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw, nang koe kâhei navah na kâhrawk takhai hanh.
To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
2 Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw pawlawk hoi, tamikathoutnaw ni repcoungroenae kecu dawk, runae kai dawk a pha sak teh, lungkhuek laihoi na hmuhma awh.
I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
4 Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
5 Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
6 Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
7 Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
8 Hete kahlî tûilî ka tho e hoi ka hlout nahanlah, karanglah ka yawng han toe telah ka pouk.
I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
9 Oe BAWIPA, ahnimae lawk hah a kahma nahanlah, koung kâkapek sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kho thung vah, thamanae hoi lawpnae ka hmu.
Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
10 Karum khodai pout laipalah, rapan dawk hoi a kâhêi awh teh, kho thung vah thoenae hoi runae lah ao awh,
By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
11 Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
12 Kai na ka pathoe e teh ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ka pouk thai han ei. Na ka taran ni teh kai na ka hmuhma e hai ka taran nahoeh. Hoehpawiteh, ahni hah ka roun thai han ei.
For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
13 Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
14 Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
15 Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
17 Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
18 Kai taranlahoi na tuknae hmuen koehoi, ka hringnae heh karoumcalah a ratang toe. Kai koelah kaawm e teh apap awh.
He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
19 Ayan hoi kangning e Cathut ni a thai teh, ahnimouh hah a khang sak han. (Selah) Ahnimouh teh a kâthung awh hoeh dawkvah, Cathut taket awh hoeh.
God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
20 Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
21 Apâhni hoi a dei awh e lawk teh, maito sanutui kamkak e hlak a pâhnan. Hatei, a lungthung tarankâtuknae ao. A lawk teh satui hlak a nem eiteh, rayu tangcoung e tahloi lah doeh ao.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
22 Na hnokari hah BAWIPA dawk patue haw, ama ni na hlai han. Tami kalan rawp hane pasoung hoeh.
Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
23 Oe Cathut, alouknaw teh rawknae tangkom dawk koung na pabo han. Tamikathetnaw hoi yuemkamcuhoeh e naw teh, a hringyung tangawn patenghai hring awh mahoeh. Kai teh nang doeh na kâuep han.
But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
