Sam 8

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe kaimae Bawipa, Jehovah teh, talai van pueng dawk na min ahawi toungloung. Na bawilennae teh kalvannaw lathueng vah na ta.

Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tarannaw kecu dawk moipathungkung hoi taran na roum sak thai nahanlah, sanu ka net e camonaw pahni dawk hoi thaonae hah na cak sak.

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

3 Na kutdawn hoi na sak e kalvannaw hoi na caksak e thapa hoi âsinaw hah ka khet navah,

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

4 tami heh banglamouh ao teh, na lungthung hoi na pouk. Tami capa heh banglamouh ao teh khuet na pai sin.

What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni hah kalvantaminaw hlak bet ka rahnoum lah na sak teh, bawilennae hoi pholennae hah na kâmuk sak.

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:

6 Na kutsaknaw koe kâ na tawn sak teh, a khok rahim bangpuengpa na hruek pouh.

And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

7 Maitotan hoi tu pueng hai, kahrawngum e saring pueng hoi,

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

8 kalvan e tavanaw hoi, talî thung e tanganaw hoi, talaipui thung kaawm e pueng hoi,

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

9 Oe BAWIPA, kaimae Bawipa, talai van pueng dawk na min teh ahawi toungloung.

O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
