Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
Kawmih a tym awh awm Bawipa taw zoeksang kawng nyng; amah kyihcahnaak ce ka hui kam lai awh awm quiqah kaw.
2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.
Ka hqingnaak ve Bawipa awh ak tha awm kaw; ak khuikhakhqi ing za seitaw zeel u seh.
3 Magnify you the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Bawipa ce nim kyihcah pyi unawh; ang ming ce kut oet cana zoeksang lah u sih.
4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
Bawipa ce sui nyng, amah ing nim hlat hy; kak kqihnaak boeih awhkawng amah ing ni hul hy.
5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
Amah ak toek thlangkhqi boeih taw vang unawh; ami haaikhqi ce chahnaak ing am dah pe qoe hy.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
Khawdeng thlang ing ak khy awh ce, Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh, a khuikhanaak khqi boeih awhkawng anih ce hul hy.
7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
Amah ak kqih thlangkhqi taw BawipaK khan ceityihkhqi ing chung unawh anih ce hul uhy.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
Bawipa a leeknaak ce tan unawh taw hu lah uh; amah awh ak thukkhqi taw a zoseen hy.
9 Fear the Lord, all you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.
Nangmih amah ak thlangciimkhqi, Bawipa ce kqih lah uh, kawtih amah ak kqihkhqi taw ikaw awm am deng ti kawm uh.
10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not lack any good thing. (Pause)
Sendeih taw ak tha boeih nawh ak phoen cawi thai hy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi taw ik-oeih leek am deng qoe uhy.
11 Come, you children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Ka cakhqi law unawh taw ngai lah uh; Bawipa kqihnaak ce ni cawngpyi vang nyng.
12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
Nangmih hqingnaak ak lungnaakkhqi ingkaw khawnghik leek khawzah huh aham ak ngaihkhqi,
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
awihche am nak kqawnnaak aham nam lai ce cyt unawh na hui ing qaai awi amak kqawnnaak aham cyt lah uh.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Ik-oeih che ce cehta unawh ik-oeih leek ce sai lah uh; qoepnaak ce sui unawh hquut lah uh.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
Thlakdyng ak khan awh Bawipa amik taw awm nawh ak khynaak awi ce ang haa ing ngai pehy.
16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,
Cehlai, ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi ce Bawipa ing hawi taak nawh, khawmdek awh a mingmih ami awm ce am sim loet voel hy.
17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
Thlakdyng ak khynaak ce Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh; cekkhqi ce kyinaak ak khui awhkawng hul khqi hy.
18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
Kawlung ak kqekkhqi venawh Bawipa taw zoe penawh lingbyi ak kqekkhqi ce hul hy.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.
Thlakdyng taw kyinaak khawzah hu seiawm, cekkhqi boeih ak khui awhkawng Bawipa ing anih ce hul hy;
20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
a quhkhqi boeih ce ak chung a hlip peek a dawngawh, pynoet ca awm am ek tikaw.
21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
Cehlai, thlak che taw leeknaak ing him kawmsaw; thlakdyng a qaal ce thawlh sak na awm kaw.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
Bawipa ing a tyihzawihkhqi ce hul nawh; amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih taw am thawlh qoe kaw.
