Psalms 16
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Aw Khawsa, ni loet sak lah, namah a venawh ni kang thuk law.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Bawipa venawh, Nang taw ka Bawipa na awm hyk ti; nang kaa taw leeknaak tehca awm am ta nyng,” ka ti.
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Qam khuiawh ak awm thlang ciimkhqi ce, Boeimangnaak ing ak be kai a zeelnaak kungkhqi na awm uhy.
4 Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
Ak chang khawsakhqi venna ak cenkhqi ak kawseetnaak taw pung khqoet kaw. A mingmih a thi ce khawsakhqi hamna am hawk pe kawng nyng saw, a mingmih ang ming awm ka hui awh ap kqawn qoe kawng nyng.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Bawipa, ka huh hly kawi ingkaw ka boet ce ni taak pe hyt hawh tiksaw; ka huh hly kawi ce ni taak pe khak hawh hyk ti.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Khawqi ing a leeknaak soeih awh kai aham khan qu nawh; ka qo pang hly kawi awh ce zeel soeih nyng.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Khaw anik poek peekkung Bawipa ce kyihcah vang; khawmthan awh awm kak kawlung ing ni cawngpyi hy.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
Bawipa ce ka haiawh awm sak poepa nyng. Anih ce kak tang ben awh a awm dawngawh, am thyn qoe ti kawng.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Cedawngawh kak kawlung zeel nawh kam lai ak kaw zeel hy; ka pum awm a sa loet kaw.
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
Ikawtih, nang ing phyi awh am ni cehta hyt kawm tiksaw, nak Thlang Ciim ce am thu sak kawp ti. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
Hqingnaak lam ce nani sim sak hawh a dawngawh; na haiawh zeelnaak, nak tang ben awhkaw kumqui zeelnaak ing ni be sak kawp ti.
