Sam 55
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw, nang koe kâhei navah na kâhrawk takhai hanh.
[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
2 Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw pawlawk hoi, tamikathoutnaw ni repcoungroenae kecu dawk, runae kai dawk a pha sak teh, lungkhuek laihoi na hmuhma awh.
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
8 Hete kahlî tûilî ka tho e hoi ka hlout nahanlah, karanglah ka yawng han toe telah ka pouk.
"I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
9 Oe BAWIPA, ahnimae lawk hah a kahma nahanlah, koung kâkapek sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kho thung vah, thamanae hoi lawpnae ka hmu.
Confuse them, YHWH, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Karum khodai pout laipalah, rapan dawk hoi a kâhêi awh teh, kho thung vah thoenae hoi runae lah ao awh,
Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
11 Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her 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 an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
13 Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
15 Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
As for me, I will call on God. YHWH will save me.
17 Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
18 Kai taranlahoi na tuknae hmuen koehoi, ka hringnae heh karoumcalah a ratang toe. Kai koelah kaawm e teh apap awh.
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose 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, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
20 Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated his covenant.
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.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
22 Na hnokari hah BAWIPA dawk patue haw, ama ni na hlai han. Tami kalan rawp hane pasoung hoeh.
Throw your burden upon YHWH, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
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, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
