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.
Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
2 Ka tarannaw ni hnintangkuem na kaven awh. Oe Lathueng Poung, na ka tarannaw teh apap poung.
My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
3 Ka lung a puen toteh, nang na kâuep han.
From the height of the day I shall fear: 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, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against 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 detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
6 Kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh teh, cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, ka khokhnuk hah mitnout a ta awh.
They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
7 Ahnimouh teh a payonnae dawk hoi a hlout awh han namaw. Oe Cathut, na lungkhuek nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung pâlei haw.
For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,
8 Ka kâvanae hah na touk teh, tuium dawk ka mitphi hah na ta. Na cauk dawk ao nahoehmaw.
I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.
9 Nang koe ka hram toteh, ka tarannaw koung a yawng awh han. Hetheh ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaie doeh.
Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know 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 the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.
11 Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, ka taket mahoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 Oe Cathut, nang koe ka lawkkamnae ni na katek teh, nang koevah, pholennae ka dei han.
In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
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.
Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
