Sam 63

1 Kathutkung: Devit, Judah kahrawngum ao navah a sak e la Oe Cathut, nang teh ka Cathut doeh. Amom vah na tawng han. Ka hringnae ni nang na kahran. Ka takthai ni nang na rabui. Kenae hoi tui kahrannae, tui ohoehnae ram dawk kaawm e lah ka o.

[A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

2 Na bawilennae hmu hanlah, hmuen kathoung thung na tawng toe.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

3 Na pahrennae teh hringnae hlak hai a hawihnawn dawkvah, ka pahni hoi ka pholen han.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

4 Hot patetlah ka hringyung thung na pholen han. Na min lahoi ka kut ka dâw han.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 Ka hringnae heh rakhing hoi a thaw kaboum lah ca e patetlah a lungkuep han. Hateh, konawm pahni hoi na pholen han.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

6 Ka ikhun dawk hoi ka pouk navah, karumsaning totouh ouk ka pouk.

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na kabawmkung doeh. Hatdawkvah, na rathei rahim vah ka konawm han.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8 Ka hringnae ni kahnaicalah na hruiyun teh, nama e aranglae kut hoi na kuet.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

9 Hatei, ka hringnae thei hanlah katawngnaw teh, adungpoungnae koe talai thung vah a cei awh han.

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Tahloi hoi dout awh vaiteh, Asuinaw ni ca hanelah, ao han.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

11 Hatei, siangpahrang teh Cathut dawk konawm vaiteh, Cathut noe laihoi thoekâbo e pueng ni, a pholen awh han. Hatei laithoe kadeinaw e pahninaw teh, tabuem lah ao awh han.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
