Sam 69
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui ni ka lahuen totouh na muem toe.
Unto the end. For those who will be changed: of David. Save me, O God, for the waters have entered, even to my soul.
2 Ka dung e tangdong dawk ka bo teh, kangdue nahan awm hoeh. Tui kadung, tuicapa ni na ramuknae koe ka pha.
I have become stuck in a deep quagmire, and there is no firm footing. I have arrived at the height of the sea, and a tempest has overwhelmed me.
3 Ka hram lawi ka tâwn toe. Ka dangka a ke toe. Ka Cathut ngaihawi laihoi ka mit a tâwn toe.
I have endured hardships, while crying out. My jaws have become hoarse; my eyes have failed. Meanwhile, I hope in my God.
4 A khuekhaw awm laipalah na kahmuhmanaw teh, ka sam hlak apap awh. Ayawmyin lah na taran awh teh, raphoe hanlah kakâcainaw teh, a thao awh. Banghai ka parawt hoeh ei, boutbout pathoe hanelah ao.
Those who hate me without cause have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. My enemies, who persecuted me unjustly, have been strengthened. Then I was required to pay for what I did not take.
5 Oe Cathut, ka pathunae heh ka panue. Ka yonnae heh ka hrawk hoeh.
O God, you know my foolishness, and my offenses have not been hidden from you.
6 Oe Jehovah, ransahu Cathut, na karingkungnaw teh kai kecu dawk kayak awh nahanh seh. Oe Isarel Cathut, nang katawngkung hah kai kecu dawk a lungpout awh nahanh seh.
Let those who wait for you, O Lord, the Lord of hosts, not be shamed in me. Let those who seek you, O God of Israel, not be confounded over me.
7 Nang kecu dawk pathoenae ka kâhmo teh, kayanae ni ka minhmai a ramuk.
For because of you, I have endured reproach; confusion has covered my face.
8 Ka hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk imyin lah ka o teh, manu buet touh ni na khe e thung dawk patenghai ramlouk e tami lah ka o.
I have become a stranger to my brothers and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.
9 Na im hanlah pouknae ni na ca teh, na kapathoenaw e lawk teh kai dawk a pha.
For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.
10 Rawcahai hoi ratoum hringnae dawk doeh na pathoe awh.
And I covered my soul with fasting, and it has become a reproach to me.
11 Buri ka khohna toteh, na panuikhai awh.
And I put on a haircloth as my garment, and I became a parable to them.
12 Longkha koe katahungnaw ni ka kong a dei awh teh, yamuhrinaw ni la lah na sak awh.
Those who sat at the gate spoke against me, and those who drank wine made me their song.
13 Hatei, kai hanelah teh ka ratoumnae heh nang koe doeh. Oe BAWIPA, ngai kaawm e tueng dawk Oe Cathut, na lungmanae apap e patetlah, na rungngangnae lawkkatang hoi ka lawk heh na thai pouh haw.
But as for me, truly, my prayer is to you, O Lord. This time has pleased you well, O God. In the multitude of your mercy, in the truth of your salvation, hear me.
14 Kai hah tangdong dawk hoi na rasat haw, na bawt sak hanh. Na kahmuhmanaw kut dawk hoi thoseh, tui kadung thung hoi thoseh, na hlout sak haw.
Rescue me from the quagmire, so that I may not become trapped. Free me from those who hate me and from deep waters.
15 Tui kalen ni na muem teh, tui kadung ni na payawp hanh naseh. Tangkom kadung ni na pakhum hanh naseh.
Do not allow the tempest of water to submerge me, nor the deep to absorb me. And do not allow the well to close in on me.
16 Oe BAWIPA na thai pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungpatawnae teh ahawi. Lungmanae kapap hoi kai koe lah kamlang haw.
Hear me, O Lord, for your mercy is kind. Look upon me, according to the fullness of your compassion.
17 Na san koehoi na minhmai hrawk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae koe ka pha toe. Karang poung lah na thai pouh haw.
And do not turn your face away from your servant, for I am in trouble: heed me quickly.
18 Ka hringnae koe hnai nateh, na ratang haw. Ka tarannaw ao dawkvah, na rungngang haw.
Attend to my soul, and free it. Rescue me, because of my enemies.
19 Kayanae, yeiraiponae hoi na barihoehnae teh na panue. Ka taran pueng teh na hmalah koung ao.
You know my reproach, and my confusion, and my reverence.
20 Pathoenae ni ka lung a pout sak teh a lungpuen sak. Na kapahrenkung ka tawng teh buet touh hai ka hmawt hoeh. Lungpahawikung ka tawng teh buet touh hai ka hmawt hoeh.
All those who trouble me are in your sight; my heart has anticipated reproach and misery. And I sought for one who might grieve together with me, but there was no one, and for one who might console me, and I found no one.
21 Ka rawca lah kakhat e na poe awh teh, tui kahran toteh misurtui kathut e hah na poe awh.
And they gave me gall for my food. And in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Ahnimae caboi teh amamouh hanelah karap lah thoseh, tangkhek lah thoseh, a kang hanelah thoseh, coung awh naseh.
Let their table be a snare before them, and a retribution, and a scandal.
23 A hmu thai awh hoeh nahanlah a mitmawm naseh. A laheibaw thouk pâyaw naseh.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and may their back always be crooked.
24 Na lungkhueknae hah ahnimouh lathueng awi nateh, na lungphuennae ni rekpatawt naseh.
Pour out your indignation upon them, and may the fury of your anger take hold of them.
25 Ahnimouh khosaknae hmuen teh kingkadi lah awm naseh, ahnimae im dawk apihai awm hanh naseh.
May their dwelling place be deserted, and may there be no one who dwells in their tabernacles.
26 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na rek e hah a rektap awh teh, hmâ na ca sak e naw hah, rek a panai awh.
For they persecuted whomever you struck. And they have added to the grief of my wounds.
27 ahnimae yon dawk yon rek poe nateh, na lannae dawk kâen hanh naseh.
Assign an iniquity upon their iniquity, and may they not enter into your justice.
28 Hringnae cauk dawk hoi raphoe lah awm awh naseh. Tamikalannaw hoi rei thut lah awm hanh naseh.
Delete them from the Book of the Living, and let them not be written down with the just.
29 Hateiteh kai teh mathoe hoi lung ka mathout e lah ka o. Oe Cathut, na rungngangnae ni a rasangnae koe na tat naseh.
I am poor and sorrowful, but your salvation, O God, has taken me up.
30 Cathut min teh la hoi ka pholen han. Lunghawilawkdeinae hoi ama teh ka tawm han.
I will praise the name of God with a canticle, and I will magnify him with praise.
31 BAWIPA ni ki hoi khoksamen hoi kaawm e maitotan a ngai e hlak, hote hringnuen hah a ngaihnawn.
And it will please God more than a new calf producing horns and hoofs.
32 Ka kârahnoumnaw ni hetheh a hmu awh vaiteh, a lunghawi awh han. Nangmouh Cathut katawngnaw e lung teh thaonae hoi akawi han.
Let the poor see and rejoice. Seek God, and your soul will live.
33 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mathoenaw e lawk hah a thai pouh teh, thongim ka bawt e amae taminaw hah pacekpahlek hoeh.
For the Lord has heard the poor, and he has not despised his prisoners.
34 Talai hoi kalvan ni ama teh a pholen teh, talîpui hoi a thung kaawm e pueng ni, ama teh, pholen naseh.
Let the heavens and the earth praise him: the sea, and everything that crawls in it.
35 Cathut ni Zion a rungngang teh, Judah kho hah a kangdue sak teh, Ahnimouh ni ao awh teh a pang awh.
For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built up. And they will dwell there, and they will acquire it by inheritance.
36 A san catounnaw ni hai pang awh vaiteh, a min ka lungpataw e teh athung vah kho a sak awh han.
And the offspring of his servants will possess it; and those who love his name will dwell in it.
