< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na roum sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang doeh na kângue.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
Oe ka hringnae, Jehovah koe nang teh ka Bawipapa doeh, nang laipateh ka hawinae hah banghai bang hoeh lah ao telah dei haw.
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
Talaivan kaawm e tami kathoungnaw hanelah, ahnimouh teh tami kahawi katang, ka konawmnae pueng onae doeh telah ka ti.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
Karangpoung lah cathut louk hnukkâbangnaw teh, rucatnae moi a khang awh han. Awi hane thuengnae thi hah ka poe mahoeh. Ka pahni hoi a min hai ka dei mahoeh.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Oe BAWIPA, nang teh ka ham hoi ka manang lah na o teh, ka ham hah na cak sak.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Ka khori teh, kai hanlah kahawipoung e ram dawk a kâen. Kahawi katang e râw teh ka coe han.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
Pouknae na kapoekung BAWIPA teh ka pholen han. Karum hai ka lungthin ni kahringnae a hroecoe.
8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
BAWIPA teh kahma lah pou ka hruek. Ama teh aranglae kut lah ao dawkvah, ka kâhuen mahoeh.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Hatdawkvah, ka lungthin a lunghawi teh, ka bawilennae teh a konawm. Ka takthai hai ngaihawinae hoi a kâhat han.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka muitha teh phuen vah na cettakhai mahoeh. Na tami kathoung teh pawklawi e na pasoung mahoeh. (Sheol )
11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Hringnae lamthung na hmu sak han. Nang koe konawmnae ka kuep teh ao. Nange aranglae kut dawk a yungyoe nawmnae teh ao.
