< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
Aw Khawsa, ni loet sak lah, namah a venawh ni kang thuk law.
2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
Bawipa venawh, Nang taw ka Bawipa na awm hyk ti; nang kaa taw leeknaak tehca awm am ta nyng,” ka ti.
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
Qam khuiawh ak awm thlang ciimkhqi ce, Boeimangnaak ing ak be kai a zeelnaak kungkhqi na awm uhy.
4 Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.
Ak chang khawsakhqi venna ak cenkhqi ak kawseetnaak taw pung khqoet kaw. A mingmih a thi ce khawsakhqi hamna am hawk pe kawng nyng saw, a mingmih ang ming awm ka hui awh ap kqawn qoe kawng nyng.
5 The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
Bawipa, ka huh hly kawi ingkaw ka boet ce ni taak pe hyt hawh tiksaw; ka huh hly kawi ce ni taak pe khak hawh hyk ti.
6 Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
Khawqi ing a leeknaak soeih awh kai aham khan qu nawh; ka qo pang hly kawi awh ce zeel soeih nyng.
7 I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
Khaw anik poek peekkung Bawipa ce kyihcah vang; khawmthan awh awm kak kawlung ing ni cawngpyi hy.
8 I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
Bawipa ce ka haiawh awm sak poepa nyng. Anih ce kak tang ben awh a awm dawngawh, am thyn qoe ti kawng.
9 Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
Cedawngawh kak kawlung zeel nawh kam lai ak kaw zeel hy; ka pum awm a sa loet kaw.
10 For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol )
Ikawtih, nang ing phyi awh am ni cehta hyt kawm tiksaw, nak Thlang Ciim ce am thu sak kawp ti. (Sheol )
11 You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
Hqingnaak lam ce nani sim sak hawh a dawngawh; na haiawh zeelnaak, nak tang ben awhkaw kumqui zeelnaak ing ni be sak kawp ti.
