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.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,
2 Tamikathoutnaw e kâdeikâpannae koehoi thoseh, Payonnae kasaknaw kamkhuengnae koehoi thoseh, na ngue haw.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
3 Ahnimouh ni amamae lai hah, tahloi patetlah a hran sak awh.
Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.
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.
To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not 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 strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”
6 Hawihoehnae hah ma hanelah a pâphue awh. Ngit a pâphue awh. Lungthin thung lengkaleng a pouknae teh a dungpoung.
They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.
7 Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni pala hoi a ka vaiteh, pouk laipalah hmâ a ca awh han.
And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,
8 A dei awh e lawk dawk letlang a rawp sak vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni a yawng takhai awh han.
And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.
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.
And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.
10 Tamikalan teh BAWIPA dawk konawm vaiteh, ama hah a kâuep han. A lungthin kalan e pueng ni a pholen awh han.
The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!
