< Psalms 116 >
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
Ka huithuinah ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng dongah ka lungnah.
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
Kai taengla a hna a kaeng dongah ka hing tue khuiah ka khue ni.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol )
Dueknah rhuihet neh saelkhui longcaek loh kai n'caeng. Citcai loh kai m'hmuh tih kothae loh m'vuei. (Sheol )
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
Te vaengah, “Aw BOEIPA ka hinglu he poenghal sak lah,” tila BOEIPA ming te ka khue.
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
Lungvatnah BOEIPA tah dueng tih mamih kah Pathen loh a haidam.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
BOEIPA loh hlangyoe a ngaithuen. Ka tlayae vaengah kai n'khang.
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
BOEIPA loh nang ham a phai coeng dongah aw ka hinglu na ngolbuel la ha mael laeh.
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
Ka hinglu he dueknah lamkah, ka mik he mikphi lamkah, ka kho khaw thuihkoek dong lamkah nan pumcum sak.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
Te dongah mulhing khohmuen kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka pongpa van ni.
10 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.
Kai loh, “Ka tholh tangkik,” ka ti vaengah pataeng ka tangnah.
11 I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”
Kai loh ka tamto vaengah, “Hlang boeih he laithae ni,” ka ti.
12 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?
Kai ham a thennah boeih he BOEIPA taengah metlam ka thuung eh?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
Khangnah boengloeng te ka pom vetih BOEIPA ming te ka khue ni.
14 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.
BOEIPA taengkah ka olcaeng te a pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah ka thuung pawn ni.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.
A hlangcim rhoek kah dueknah he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah vang.
16 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.
Aw BOEIPA, kai he na sal pai ni. Na salnu kah a ca, na sal kai he, ka kuelrhui lamloh nan hlam.
17 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.
Nang taengah uemonah hmueih ka nawn vetih BOEIPA ming te ka khue ni.
18 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,
BOEIPA taengkah ka olcaeng te a pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah,
19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
BOEIPA im vongup neh Jerusalem nang khuiah ka thuung pawn ni. BOEIPA tah thangthen uh.
