< Psalms 28 >
1 To thee, O Jehovah, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA nang teh na kaw. Ka lungsong, lawkkamuem na awm mahoeh. Nang ni banglahai na ngaihoeh lah, lawkkamuem na awm pawiteh, kai teh tangkom dawk ka bawt e patetlah doeh ka o toe.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Bawipa nang koe ka hramki laihoi kabawpnae ka hei nahai thoseh, Bawipa nange hmuenkathoung, a thung lah ka kut ka dâw to hai thoseh, kai ni ka hei e hah na thai pouh haw.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.
Tamikathoutnaw hoehpawiteh, yonnae ka sak e naw hoi cungtalah kai hah na sawn hanh la.
4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them after the operation of their hands. Render to them their recompense,
Ahnimae sakyoenae hoi kathoute nuencang patetlah patho haw. Amamae kut hoi a sak awh e patetlah patho haw. Ahnimouh ni a khang kawi e hah amamae van bout phat sak haw.
5 because they regard not the works of Jehovah, nor the operation of his hands. He will break them down and not build them up.
Ahnimouh teh, BAWIPA e thawnaw hai thoseh, A kutsaknaw hai thoseh, kâhruetcuet laihoi a pouk awh hoeh dawkvah, ahnimanaw hah raphoe vaiteh, nâtuek hai ahnimouh teh bout thaw thai mahoeh toe.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.
BAWIPA teh yawhawinae awmseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka heinae lawk hah a thai toe.
7 Jehovah is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.
BAWIPA teh kaie ka thaonae hoi kaie e bahling lah ao. Ka lungthin ni a kâuep teh, kabawpnae hah a coe. Hatdawkvah, puenghoi ka konawm. Kai ni la hoi ka pholen han.
8 Jehovah is their strength, and he is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
BAWIPA teh a miphunnaw e tha lah ao teh, satui awi e naw ni kâuep e rungngangnae lah ao.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
Na miphun hah rungngang na teh, Nange râw hah yawhawi poe haw. Ahnimae tukhoumkung lah awm na teh, ahnimanaw hah a yungyoe sin haw.
