Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David. Jehovah is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Bawipa taw ka maihchoei ingkaw ka hulnaak na awm hy - u nu kak kqih bai kaw? Bawipa taw ka hqingnaak vawngcak na awm hy - u nu kak kqih re bai kaw?
2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, [Even] mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Ka sa daih aham thlak chekhqi ing ni pan unawh ka qaalkhqi ingkaw ka thunkhakhqi ing amim tu awh ce bah kawm usaw tlu kawm uh.
3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.
Qalkap ing nik chung khoep seiawm, kak kawlung am thyn qoe tikaw; tangboek ing ni boeng qoe seiawm kak kawlung yp khak kaw.
4 One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: That I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Jehovah, And to inquire in his temple.
Bawipa venawh ik-oeih pynoet doeng thoeh nyng, ka thoeh taw veni; ka hqing khui pyt Bawipa im awh awm aham ingkaw Bawipa a myi daw soeih ce toek doena a bawkim khuiawh amah sui ve doeng ni.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
Ikawtih kyinaak ka um awh ce a awmnaak hun awh kai ce ngaihding cana ni awm sak kaw; a hizan im awmnaak khuiawh ni thuh kawmsaw lungnu awh ce ak sang na nim hawih kaw.
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah.
Cawhtaw kai anik chung khoep ka qaalkhqik khanawh ka luu ve zoeksang kaw; a hizan im awh zeel doena khy nawh lucik nawn nyng saw; Bawipa kyihcah ing laa sa hawh kawng nyng.
7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Aw Bawipa, ka nik khy awh ce kak awi ngai law lah; nim qeen nawhtaw nim hlat lah.
8 [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek.
Kak kawlung ing “A haai sui lah!” ni tina hy. Bawipa nang haai ni ka sui hly.
9 Hide not thy face from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Na haai ce koeh thuh valh nawh, na tyihzawih ve koeh mang taak; nang taw kai anik bawmkung ni. Aw Khawsa ka hulkung, koeh ni qoeng nawhtaw koeh ni cen taak.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then Jehovah will take me up.
Ka pa ingkaw ka nu ing ni cehta seiawm, Bawipa ing ni do ngai kaw.
11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; And lead me in a plain path, Because of mine enemies.
Aw Bawipa, na lam ce ni cawng sak nawh; kai anik thekhanaakkhqi awh na lap dyng awh ni sawi lah.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries: For false witnesses are risen up against me, And such as breathe out cruelty.
Ka qaalkhqi ngaihnaak awh kai ce koeh ni pe, amak thym dyihthingkhqi ing ni thawh sih unawh, amak leek ben awi ce amik kqawn a dawngawh.
13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.
Ka hqingnaak qam awh ve Bawipa a leeknaak hu ngai kawng tinawh yp qu na mang kang nyng.
14 Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.
Bawipa mah qeh lah; kawlung cak doena nak tha awm sak nawh, Bawipa mah qeh lah.
