Psalms 18
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Kathutkung: Devit, Bawipa e san, Devit ni Sawl koehoi taran kut dawk hoi, hloutsaknae hawinae coe torei teh, BAWIPA hmalah sak e la Oe ka thaonae BAWIPA, nang teh na lungpataw han.
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
BAWIPA teh kaie lungsong, kaie rapan, kaie rungngangkung lah ao. Kaie Cathut, ka thaonae, ka kâuep e bahling hoi ka rungngangnae ki hoi ka rapanim lah ao.
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Pholen kamcu BAWIPA teh ka kaw vaiteh, ka tarannaw um hoi rungngang lah ka o han.
4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
Due patawnae ni na kalup, Cathut takihoehnae tuikalen ni na taki sak.
Sheol lungmathoenae ni na kalup teh, duenae tangkam ni na kangdue sin. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
Kângairu kecu dawk BAWIPA ka kaw teh, ka Cathut koe ka hram. A Bawkim koehoi na thai pouh teh, a hmalah ka hramnae hah a hnâ koe a pha.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
Hottelah, talai a kâhuet teh a pâyaw. A lungkhuek dawkvah, mondunaw totouh a pâyaw teh, a kâhuet awh.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
A hnawng dawk hoi hmaikhu a luen takhang teh, a pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e hmai ni, koung a kak awh teh, hote e niyah hmaisaan a kaman sak.
9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Ama ni kalvan a kamkuisak teh, a kum cathuk. A khok rahim vah hmonae teh ao.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
Cherub a kâcui teh a kamleng. Kahlî rathei van vah a kamleng.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Hmonae teh ka dungpoung e hmuen lah a coung sak. Tui hmonae hoi kathapoung e kalvan tâmai hah ama kangangkung lah ao.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
A hmalae angnae ni, kathapoung e tâmai a kâhin sak teh, roun hoi hmaisaan a bo.
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
BAWIPA ni kalvan hoi khoparit sak, A Lathueng Poung Cathut ni a lawk a tâcosak.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
A lipala hah a pathui teh, a taran hah a pâyaw sak. Sumpa a palik sak teh, koung a tâ.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Oe BAWIPA, na yuenae hoi na hnawng dawk e kâha ni a hmu dawkvah, talî laheipadin teh koung a kamnue teh, talaivan e dunaw teh a kamnue awh.
16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
Lathueng hoi na kut na dâw teh, moikapap e tui thung hoi na rasa toe.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
A thakaawmpounge ka taran kut dawk hoi na rungngang teh, na ka hmuhma ni teh athakaawmpounge naw koehoi haiyah na rungngang.
18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
Ahnimouh ni runae ka kâhmo navah, na kangdue sin awh. Hatei, BAWIPA teh ka kâuep e doeh.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
A hmuen kaw poung koe kai hah na thak. Kai dawk a lunghawi dawkvah, na rungngang.
20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
BAWIPA ni, ka lannae patetlah aphu na poe. Ka kut a thoung e patetlah na patho toe.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lamthung hah ka pâkuem teh, ka Cathut teh kahawihoeh lahoi ka cettakhai boihoeh.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lawkcengnae pueng teh ka hmalah ao teh, a coungnae hah ka tâkhawng boihoeh.
23 And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
A hmaitung toun awm laipalah ka o teh, payonnae hah ka roun.
24 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni ka lannae patetlah na patho. A mithmu ka thoungnae patetlah na patho.
25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
Tami ka pahren e koe pahrennae na kamnue sak vaiteh, tamikalan koe lannae hah na kamnue sak han.
26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
Tami kathoung koe na thoungnae na kamnue sak vaiteh, tami ka taran e koe tarannae hah na kamnue sak han.
27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kârahnoumnaw hah, na rungngang teh, kâoupnaw hah na pabo han.
28 For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
Ka hmaiim hah na ang sak teh, BAWIPA ka Cathut ni kaie hmonae hah a ang sak han.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Nang pawlawk lahoi ransahu hah ka raphoe han. Ka Cathut pawlawk lahoi khorapan ka kawi thai han.
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Cathut e lamthung teh a kuep. BAWIPA e lawk teh a thoung dawkvah, Ama kâuep e tami pueng hanelah bahling lah ao.
31 For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA laipateh, bangpatet e Cathut alouke maw kaawm.
32 The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
Thaonae hoi na kapathoupkung teh Cathut doeh. Ka lamthung hai a kuep sak.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
Ama ni ka khok heh sayuk khok patetlah a sak teh, a hmuen rasangnae koe na o sak.
34 Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
Ka kut heh tarantuknae a cangkhai. Hatdawkvah, ka kut ni rahum licung patenghai a sawn thai.
35 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
Na rungngangnae bahling hai na poe toe. Aranglae kut hoi na kuet, na panguepnae ni na tawmdawm.
36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
Ka ceinae lamthung na kaw sak dawkvah, tâlaw laipalah ka o.
37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
Ka taran ka pâlei teh ka pha. Koung ka raphoe hoehroukrak ka ban takhai boihoeh.
38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
Bout a thaw thai hoeh nahanelah, hmâ ka paca teh, ka khok rahim koung a rawp awh.
39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
Tarantuk hanelah na pathoup toung dawkvah, na katarankung teh ka rahim vah tâ lah ao.
40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
Ka taran teh na yawng sak. Hottelah na kahmuhmanaw heh ka raphoe.
41 They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
Ahnimouh teh a hram awh. Hatei, ahnimouh rungngangkung awm hoeh. BAWIPA koe a hram awh ei, pato hoeh.
42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Hottelah, vaiphu kahlî ni a palek e patetlah dikkaneng lah ka nep teh, lamthung dawk e songnawng patetlah ka tâkhawng.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
Ka yonnaw thung hoi na rungngang teh, miphunnaw e lû lah na coung sak. Ka panue hoeh e naw ni ka thaw a tawk awh han.
44 At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
Ka lawk a thai awh tahma vah, a tarawi awh teh, ramlouk taminaw hai kai koe a kâhei awh.
45 Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
Ramlouk taminaw teh koung a yawng awh teh, a kâhronae hmuen koehoi, taki laihoi a tâco awh.
46 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
BAWIPA teh a hring. Kaie lungsong teh pholen lah awm seh. Kaie rungngangnae Cathut teh tawm lah awm seh.
47 The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
Cathut teh moipathung pouh kung lah ao teh, ka rahim e taminaw katâkung lah ao.
48 Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
Ka tarannaw koehoi na rungngang teh, na katarankungnaw lathueng vah, na tawm. Rektapnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang.
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
Hatdawkvah BAWIPA, Jentelnaw rahak vah, nang koe lunghawilawk ka dei vaiteh, na min pholen hoi la ka sak han.
50 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
A siangpahrang koevah, ka len e hloutnae a poe teh, satui awi e Devit hoi, a catounnaw lathueng vah, a yungyoe hoi a lungmanae a kamnue sak.
