Sam 84
1 Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Oe ransahu BAWIPA, na onae teh banghloimaw ngai ao.
For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. On the gittith. How wonderful is the place where you live, Lord Almighty!
2 Ka hringnae ni a rabui, Bokheiyah, BAWIPA thongma rabui laihoi ka tâwn. Ka lungthin hoi ka takthai ni kahring Cathut teh atangcalah a kaw.
I long, I ache, to be in the courts of the Lord. My mind and my body sing for joy to the living God.
3 Oe ransahu BAWIPA, ka Siangpahrang hoi ka Cathut, na thuengnae khoungroe dawk pusu ni tabu a tuk teh, pingpit ni hai a canaw ta nahanelah tabu a tuk.
Even a sparrow finds a home there, and a swallow builds a nest for herself where she can raise her chicks near to your altars, Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
4 Na im dawk kaawmnaw teh, a yaw kahawi e doeh. Pou na pholen awh han. (Selah)
How happy are those who live in your house—they are always praising you! (Selah)
5 Nang thaonae lah ka hnonaw hoi hmuen ka thoung koe cei ngainae lungthin ka tawn naw teh tami a yaw kahawi e doeh.
How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make a pilgrimage.
6 Baca yawn dawk a cei awh navah, tuiphuek tâconae lah a coung sak teh, khotui hai a kamuem sak.
As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.
7 Thaonae koehoi thathoenae koe lah cei awh teh, buet touh hnukkhu buet touh Zion Cathut hmalah a kamnue awh.
They go from strength to strength, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.
8 Oe ransahu Cathut BAWIPA, ka ratoumnae heh na thai pouh haw. Oe, Jakop Cathut, na hnâpakeng haw.
Lord God Almighty, please hear my prayer; please listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Oe Cathut, ka bahling khen nateh, Satui na awi e mei hah khenhaw!
Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na thongma dawk hnin touh o e teh, alouklah hnin 1,000 touh o e hlak ahawihnawn. Thoenae rim dawk o e hlak teh Cathut im longkha ring e ka ngaihnawn.
One day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the homes of the wicked.
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut teh kanî hoi bahling doeh. BAWIPA ni lungmanae hoi bawilennae a poe han.
For the Lord God is our sun and shield, and he gives us grace and honor. The Lord doesn't hold back anything good from those who do right.
12 Oe ransahu BAWIPA, nang kâuep e teh a yaw kahawi e doeh.
Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.
