< Psalms 4 >
1 Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe lannae Cathut, na kaw toteh na thai pouh haw. Ka runae hah na hlai haw. Na pahren haw, ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
Oe tami capanaw, ka bawilennae hah nâtotouh maw kayanae lah na coung sak awh han. Nâtotouh maw ayawmyin hno hah na lungpataw awh vaiteh, payonnae hah na tawng awh han. (Selah)
3 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
BAWIPA ni cathutlae tami teh a rawi tie hah panuek awh haw. Ka kaw toteh BAWIPA ni na thai pouh han.
4 Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
Na lungkhuek yawkaw, yonnae teh sak hanh. Na ikhun dawk na lung hoi pouk nateh duem awm.
5 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
Lannae thuengnae hah poe nateh, BAWIPA hah kâuep haw.
6 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
Apinimaw hawinae na hmusak han na ka tet pouh e moi ao awh. BAWIPA kaimouh koe na minhmai angnae hoi na tue haw.
7 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
Cakang hoi misur moikapap a hmu awh dawk konawmnae hlak kalenhnawn e konawmnae hah ka lung thung na ta toe.
8 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
Duem ka yan vaiteh, ka i han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe BAWIPA, nang ni dueng doeh karoumcalah na o sak thai.
