Sam 69
1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui ni ka lahuen totouh na muem toe.
Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto 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 sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 Ka hram lawi ka tâwn toe. Ka dangka a ke toe. Ka Cathut ngaihawi laihoi ka mit a tâwn toe.
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for 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.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5 Oe Cathut, ka pathunae heh ka panue. Ka yonnae heh ka hrawk hoeh.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
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 not them that wait on thee, O Lord Yhwh of Armies, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Nang kecu dawk pathoenae ka kâhmo teh, kayanae ni ka minhmai a ramuk.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath 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 am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9 Na im hanlah pouknae ni na ca teh, na kapathoenaw e lawk teh kai dawk a pha.
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10 Rawcahai hoi ratoum hringnae dawk doeh na pathoe awh.
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 Buri ka khohna toteh, na panuikhai awh.
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 Longkha koe katahungnaw ni ka kong a dei awh teh, yamuhrinaw ni la lah na sak awh.
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
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, my prayer is unto thee, O Yhwh, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
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.
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Tui kalen ni na muem teh, tui kadung ni na payawp hanh naseh. Tangkom kadung ni na pakhum hanh naseh.
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Oe BAWIPA na thai pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungpatawnae teh ahawi. Lungmanae kapap hoi kai koe lah kamlang haw.
Hear me, O Yhwh; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 Na san koehoi na minhmai hrawk hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae koe ka pha toe. Karang poung lah na thai pouh haw.
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 Ka hringnae koe hnai nateh, na ratang haw. Ka tarannaw ao dawkvah, na rungngang haw.
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Kayanae, yeiraiponae hoi na barihoehnae teh na panue. Ka taran pueng teh na hmalah koung ao.
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
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.
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Ka rawca lah kakhat e na poe awh teh, tui kahran toteh misurtui kathut e hah na poe awh.
They gave me also gall for my meat; 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 become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 A hmu thai awh hoeh nahanlah a mitmawm naseh. A laheibaw thouk pâyaw naseh.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Na lungkhueknae hah ahnimouh lathueng awi nateh, na lungphuennae ni rekpatawt naseh.
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Ahnimouh khosaknae hmuen teh kingkadi lah awm naseh, ahnimae im dawk apihai awm hanh naseh.
Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na rek e hah a rektap awh teh, hmâ na ca sak e naw hah, rek a panai awh.
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 ahnimae yon dawk yon rek poe nateh, na lannae dawk kâen hanh naseh.
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Hringnae cauk dawk hoi raphoe lah awm awh naseh. Tamikalannaw hoi rei thut lah awm hanh naseh.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 Hateiteh kai teh mathoe hoi lung ka mathout e lah ka o. Oe Cathut, na rungngangnae ni a rasangnae koe na tat naseh.
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
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 song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 BAWIPA ni ki hoi khoksamen hoi kaawm e maitotan a ngai e hlak, hote hringnuen hah a ngaihnawn.
This also shall please Yhwh better than an ox or bullock that hath 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.
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka mathoenaw e lawk hah a thai pouh teh, thongim ka bawt e amae taminaw hah pacekpahlek hoeh.
For Yhwh heareth the poor, and despiseth not 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 heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
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 will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 A san catounnaw ni hai pang awh vaiteh, a min ka lungpataw e teh athung vah kho a sak awh han.
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
