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 Musician: with stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer, And do not hide thyself from my supplication:
2 Na thai pouh haw, na pato haw. Ka reithainae dawkvah, pou ka phuenangnae kâhat thai hoeh.
Attend unto me, and answer me, I may ramble in my complaining, And be driven to and fro—
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 noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.
4 Ka lungthin teh ka lung thung puenghoi a pataw teh, due takinae ni na tho sin.
My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:
5 Takinae hoi pâyawnae ni na tho sin teh, kaluenae ni na ramuk.
Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me—a horror!
6 Oe bakhu patetlah rathei tawn ka ngai. Hottelah ka tawn pawiteh, vi kamleng vaiteh, duem kâhat han eite.
Then I said—Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:
7 Ahlanae koe ka cei vaiteh, kahrawng vah ka o han eite. (Selah)
Lo! I would take a distant flight, I would tarry 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 hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.
9 Oe BAWIPA, ahnimae lawk hah a kahma nahanlah, koung kâkapek sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kho thung vah, thamanae hoi lawpnae ka hmu.
Confuse, O My Lord, divide their speech, For I have seen violence and contention 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 go round her, upon her walls, And, trouble and misery, are in her midst;
11 Kho thung vah thoenae ao teh, repcoungroenae hoi dumnae teh lamnaw dawk ao.
Engulfing ruin, is in her midst, And there depart not from her broadway, oppression and deceit.
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 is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, —Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;
13 Hottelah ka tet e tami teh nang doeh. Kai hoi kâtakawi e ka hui, ka kâpanuek e doeh.
But it is, thou, a man esteemed as mine equal, mine associate, and mine acquaintance;
14 Buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kapan e, Cathut im dawk tamimaya hoi reirei ka cet e doeh.
So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.
15 Duenae ni man naseh. Hringo hoi sheol dawk cet naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae teh ahnimouh koe ao. (Sheol h7585)
Desolations on them! Let them go down into hades alive, For, wicked doings, are at home within them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Kai teh Cathut ka kaw vaiteh, BAWIPA ni na rungngang han.
I, unto God, will cry, —And, Yahweh, will save me.
17 Amom, kanîthun, tangmin lah ka ratoum han. Kacaipounglah ka hram vaiteh, ka lawk hah a thai han.
At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!
18 Kai taranlahoi na tuknae hmuen koehoi, ka hringnae heh karoumcalah a ratang toe. Kai koelah kaawm e teh apap awh.
He hath completely redeemed my soul, out of the attack upon me, For, in multitudes, were they [in conflict] with 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 hear, Yea He will humble them who aforetime sat [enthroned]. (Selah) With whom are no changings, Neither have they revered God.
20 Ahnimouh teh hui hah a taran awh teh, lawkkam a raphoe awh.
He hath thrust forth his hands, against them he was wont to salute, he hath 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.
Smoother than curds, were [the words of] his mouth, But, war, was [in] his heart, —Softer his words 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.
Cast upon Yahweh thy lot, and, he, will sustain thee: He will not suffer, to times age-abiding, the righteous one to be shaken.
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, thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction, Men of bloodshed and deceit, shall not live out half their days; But, I, will trust in thee.
