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.
BE merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Ka tarannaw ni hnintangkuem na kaven awh. Oe Lathueng Poung, na ka tarannaw teh apap poung.
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 Ka lung a puen toteh, nang na kâuep han.
What time I am afraid, 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 his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Ahnimouh teh kaie lawk hah hnintangkuem alouklah a pouk awh. Kai dawk kahawihoehe pouknae dueng doeh a pouk awh.
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait 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.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Ka kâvanae hah na touk teh, tuium dawk ka mitphi hah na ta. Na cauk dawk ao nahoehmaw.
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 Nang koe ka hram toteh, ka tarannaw koung a yawng awh han. Hetheh ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaie doeh.
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
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 word.
11 Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, ka taket mahoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Oe Cathut, nang koe ka lawkkamnae ni na katek teh, nang koevah, pholennae ka dei han.
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto 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.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
