Psalms 16
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na roum sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang doeh na kângue.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Oe ka hringnae, Jehovah koe nang teh ka Bawipapa doeh, nang laipateh ka hawinae hah banghai bang hoeh lah ao telah dei haw.
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Talaivan kaawm e tami kathoungnaw hanelah, ahnimouh teh tami kahawi katang, ka konawmnae pueng onae doeh telah ka ti.
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.
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 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Oe BAWIPA, nang teh ka ham hoi ka manang lah na o teh, ka ham hah na cak sak.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Ka khori teh, kai hanlah kahawipoung e ram dawk a kâen. Kahawi katang e râw teh ka coe han.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Pouknae na kapoekung BAWIPA teh ka pholen han. Karum hai ka lungthin ni kahringnae a hroecoe.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
BAWIPA teh kahma lah pou ka hruek. Ama teh aranglae kut lah ao dawkvah, ka kâhuen mahoeh.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Hatdawkvah, ka lungthin a lunghawi teh, ka bawilennae teh a konawm. Ka takthai hai ngaihawinae hoi a kâhat han.
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka muitha teh phuen vah na cettakhai mahoeh. Na tami kathoung teh pawklawi e na pasoung mahoeh. (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.
Hringnae lamthung na hmu sak han. Nang koe konawmnae ka kuep teh ao. Nange aranglae kut dawk a yungyoe nawmnae teh ao.
