Sam 71
1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh.
Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't disappoint me.
2 Na lannae hoi na rungngang nateh, na hlout sak haw. Kai koe lah na hnâpakeng nateh na rungngang haw.
Save me, rescue me, because you always do what is right.
3 Kai ni pou ka pâtam teh ka onae lungsong lah awm haw. Kai rungngang hanelah kâ na poe teh, kaie lungsong, kaie rapan lah na o.
Please listen to me, and save me. Be my rock of protection where I can always go and hide. You gave the command to save me; for you are my rock and fortress.
4 Oe ka Cathut, tamikathout kut dawk hoi thoseh, tamikalanhoehe hoi tamitongthoe kut dawk hoi thoseh, na rungngang haw.
My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of those who are evil and brutal.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh ka camo nahoi na kâuep e lah na o.
For you, Lord God, are my hope. You are the one I have trusted since I was young.
6 Pek ka khe hoi na kuet teh, nang teh anu von thung hoi na ka lat e lah na o. Nang teh pou na pholen han.
I have depended on you since birth; you have taken care of me from my mother's womb. That's why I'm always praising you!
7 Tami moikapap kângai karusakkung lah ka o. Hatei, nang teh kacake kânguenae doeh.
My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.
8 Ka pahni teh nang pholennae hoi akawi teh, hnintangkuem nange pholennae hoi kawi naseh.
All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!
9 Ka matawng toteh na hnoun hanh lah a. Ka tha a youn toteh na cettakhai hanh lah a.
Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw ni na pathoe awh. Kai thei han a ngai awh dawkvah, pouknae a kâpoe awh teh, na pawp awh.
For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.
11 Cathut ni a ceitakhai toe. Pâlei awh nateh man awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rungngang hane awm hoeh telah ati awh.
They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”
12 Oe Cathut, na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka Cathut, karanglah na kabawm haw.
God, please don't stay away from me. My God, hurry to help me!
13 Ka hringnae ka tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi rawknae koe phat awh naseh. Runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah pahuipalamnae hoi yeiraiponae ni ramuk awh naseh.
Defeat my accusers, get rid of them! May those who want to cause me trouble be covered with shame and disgrace!
14 Hatei, pou ka ngaihawi vaiteh, hoehoe ka pholen han.
As for me, I will go on hoping in you, and I will praise you more and more.
15 Ka pahni ni na lannae a dei vaiteh, na rungngangnae heh hnintangkuem a hramkhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae parei teh baw thai hoeh.
I will talk about your goodness and your salvation every day, even though it's more than I can understand.
16 Bawipa Jehovah, thaonae dawk ka cei han. Na lannae nange lannae dueng doeh ka dei han.
I will come and explain what the Lord has done. I will remind people that you alone do what is right.
17 Oe Cathut, ka camo nah hoi na cangkhai toe, Atu totouh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka pâpho.
God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still tell others about all the wonderful things you do.
18 Sekatha taminaw hoi ka tâcawt hane naw koe na thaonae hoi na hnotithainae ka pâpho hoeh roukrak, ka matawng teh ka sam a po toteh, Oe Cathut na cettakhai hanh.
Even though I'm old and gray, please don't abandon me, God. Let me tell the new generation about your power. Let me explain to all who are to come the great things you do.
19 Oe Cathut, na lannae hai a rasang poung. Oe Cathut, hnokalen kasakkung, nang patetlah apimouh ouk kaawm va.
God, your trustworthy and true nature is higher than the highest heaven! You have done incredible things! God, who is like you?
20 Kalen ni teh ka patawpoung e runae na kâhmosakkung nang ni na roung sak nateh, kadung poung e talai thung hoi bout na rasat haw.
You had me face many troubles and plenty of misery, but you will bring me back to life; you will rise me up from the depths of the earth.
21 Ka tawntanae na pung sak vaiteh, lung bout na pahawi han.
You will give me even greater prestige, and you will make me happy again.
22 Tamawi hoi na pholen han. Oe Cathut, yuemkamcu lah na onae hah ka pholen han. Oe Isarel e Kathoung Cathut, ratoung hoi la sak laihoi na pholen han.
Then I will praise you on the harp for your trustworthiness, my God. I will sing praises to you on the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 Nang pholen laihoi la ka sak toteh, ka pahni teh a lunghawi katang han. Na ratang e ka hringnae hai a lunghawi han.
I will shout for joy as I sing praises to you, for you have redeemed me.
24 Ka lai ni hai kanîruirui pout laipalah na lannae a dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah lungpout laihoi yeiraipo sak lah ao toe.
All day long I will tell about all the good things you have done, for those who tried to cause me misery have been disgraced and humiliated.
