Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.
Ka huithuinah ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng dongah ka lungnah.
2 Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.
Kai taengla a hna a kaeng dongah ka hing tue khuiah ka khue ni.
3 I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. (Sheol h7585)
Dueknah rhuihet neh saelkhui longcaek loh kai n'caeng. Citcai loh kai m'hmuh tih kothae loh m'vuei. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!”
Te vaengah, “Aw BOEIPA ka hinglu he poenghal sak lah,” tila BOEIPA ming te ka khue.
5 The Lord is so kind and good! Our God is so compassionate!
Lungvatnah BOEIPA tah dueng tih mamih kah Pathen loh a haidam.
6 The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me.
BOEIPA loh hlangyoe a ngaithuen. Ka tlayae vaengah kai n'khang.
7 I can once again be at peace because the Lord has been good to me.
BOEIPA loh nang ham a phai coeng dongah aw ka hinglu na ngolbuel la ha mael laeh.
8 For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
Ka hinglu he dueknah lamkah, ka mik he mikphi lamkah, ka kho khaw thuihkoek dong lamkah nan pumcum sak.
9 Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.
Te dongah mulhing khohmuen kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka pongpa van ni.
10 I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”
Kai loh, “Ka tholh tangkik,” ka ti vaengah pataeng ka tangnah.
11 I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”
Kai loh ka tamto vaengah, “Hlang boeih he laithae ni,” ka ti.
12 What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?
Kai ham a thennah boeih he BOEIPA taengah metlam ka thuung eh?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and worship the Lord.
Khangnah boengloeng te ka pom vetih BOEIPA ming te ka khue ni.
14 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see.
BOEIPA taengkah ka olcaeng te a pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah ka thuung pawn ni.
15 It hurts the Lord when those who trust in him die.
A hlangcim rhoek kah dueknah he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah vang.
16 Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free.
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 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you and I will worship you.
Nang taengah uemonah hmueih ka nawn vetih BOEIPA ming te ka khue ni.
18 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see,
BOEIPA taengkah ka olcaeng te a pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah,
19 there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
BOEIPA im vongup neh Jerusalem nang khuiah ka thuung pawn ni. BOEIPA tah thangthen uh.
