Sam 64
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka phuenangnae dawk, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Ka tarannaw ka takinae koehoi ka hringnae na khetyawt lawih.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Tamikathoutnaw e kâdeikâpannae koehoi thoseh, Payonnae kasaknaw kamkhuengnae koehoi thoseh, na ngue haw.
Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
3 Ahnimouh ni amamae lai hah, tahloi patetlah a hran sak awh.
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4 Yonnae ka tawn hoeh e tami hah arulahoi ka hanelah, lawkthoeumkha pala hoi a nue awh teh, takinae tawn laipalah vaitalahoi ouk a ka awh.
ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
5 Hawihoehnae dawk buet touh hoi buet touh a kâhroecoe awh. Tangkhek patung hanelah a kâpan awh teh, apinimouh na hmu han vah ouk ati awh.
They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
6 Hawihoehnae hah ma hanelah a pâphue awh. Ngit a pâphue awh. Lungthin thung lengkaleng a pouknae teh a dungpoung.
They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7 Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni pala hoi a ka vaiteh, pouk laipalah hmâ a ca awh han.
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
8 A dei awh e lawk dawk letlang a rawp sak vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni a yawng takhai awh han.
They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
9 Tami pueng ni taket vaiteh, Cathut ni a sak e doeh tie a pâpho awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmantang a sak awh e hah a pouk awh han.
Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
10 Tamikalan teh BAWIPA dawk konawm vaiteh, ama hah a kâuep han. A lungthin kalan e pueng ni a pholen awh han.
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
