< Psalms 16 >
1 A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
Aw Khawsa, ni loet sak lah, namah a venawh ni kang thuk law.
2 I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you has no need of my goodness.
Bawipa venawh, Nang taw ka Bawipa na awm hyk ti; nang kaa taw leeknaak tehca awm am ta nyng,” ka ti.
3 On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
Qam khuiawh ak awm thlang ciimkhqi ce, Boeimangnaak ing ak be kai a zeelnaak kungkhqi na awm uhy.
4 Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with 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 the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
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 The lines have fallen to me in the best places, yes, I have a most excellent 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 bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.
Khaw anik poek peekkung Bawipa ce kyihcah vang; khawmthan awh awm kak kawlung ing ni cawngpyi hy.
8 I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on my right hand, that I should 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 Therefore my heart rejoiced an my tongue exulted; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Cedawngawh kak kawlung zeel nawh kam lai ak kaw zeel hy; ka pum awm a sa loet kaw.
10 because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
Ikawtih, nang ing phyi awh am ni cehta hyt kawm tiksaw, nak Thlang Ciim ce am thu sak kawp ti. (Sheol )
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy with your countenance: at your right hand [there are] delights for 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.
