Sam 56
1 Kathutkung: Devit, Devit teh Gath kho vah, Filistin kut dawk a pha nah a sak e la Oe Cathut, kai na pahren haw. Taminaw ni padoun hanelah hnintangkuem na tuk teh, na rektap awh.
For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
2 Ka tarannaw ni hnintangkuem na kaven awh. Oe Lathueng Poung, na ka tarannaw teh apap poung.
Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
3 Ka lung a puen toteh, nang na kâuep han.
They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
4 Cathut dawk (a lawk ka pholen han), Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, taki han awm hoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
5 Ahnimouh teh kaie lawk hah hnintangkuem alouklah a pouk awh. Kai dawk kahawihoehe pouknae dueng doeh a pouk awh.
All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
6 Kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh teh, cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, ka khokhnuk hah mitnout a ta awh.
They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
7 Ahnimouh teh a payonnae dawk hoi a hlout awh han namaw. Oe Cathut, na lungkhuek nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung pâlei haw.
Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
8 Ka kâvanae hah na touk teh, tuium dawk ka mitphi hah na ta. Na cauk dawk ao nahoehmaw.
O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.
9 Nang koe ka hram toteh, ka tarannaw koung a yawng awh han. Hetheh ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaie doeh.
Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.
10 Cathut dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han), BAWIPA dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han).
In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
11 Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, ka taket mahoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
12 Oe Cathut, nang koe ka lawkkamnae ni na katek teh, nang koevah, pholennae ka dei han.
The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh duenae thung hoi na rungngang. Kahringnaw e angnae rahim vah, Cathut hmalah ka pai thai na han, ka khok kamthui hoeh nahan, na rungngang toe nahoehmaw.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
