< Psalms 4 >
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by string instruments. When I call, please answer me, God who vindicates me. When I was hemmed in by troubles, you gave me a way out. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
Aw ka dyngnaak Khawsa, ka nik khy awh ce oei lah. Ngaih kyi ing ka awm awh ngaihqepnak ni pe lah; nim qeen nawh kak cykcah awi ning ngai pe lah.
2 How long will you people ruin my reputation? How long will you love what is worthless and tell lies? (Selah)
Aw thlangkhqi, ka boeimangnaak ve han dy awh nu chahqai na naming coeng hly sak hy voei? Han dy awh nu oek thawlhnaak ce lungna unawh, amak thym khawsa ce nami sui khak kaw?
3 You should realize that the Lord shows special favor to the faithful. The Lord listens when I call to him.
Bawipa ing amah ben awh ak ypawm thlangkhqi ce amah aham hoep hawh hy ti sim lah uh; kak khy awh Bawipa ing kak awi za kaw.
4 Be in awe, do not sin. When you rest, reflect on this, and keep quiet! (Selah)
Namik kaw a sonaak awh koeh thawlh uh; ihkhun awh naming zaih awh namik kaw poek hqeet unawh awm dym uh.
5 Offer sacrifices with the right attitude. Trust in the Lord.
Ak thym bulnaak ce nawn nawh Bawipa ce ypna lah.
6 Many say, “Who is going to show us some good?” Lord, may your face shine upon us.
U ing nu them leek a nim huh lah voei?” thlang khawzah ing ti uhy. Aw Bawipa na haai vangnaak ce kak khanawh be sak lah.
7 The happiness you give me is better than those who have a plentiful harvest of grain and new wine.
Caang ingkaw misur thaih ami zen awhkaw zeelnaak anglakawh, kak kawlung ve zeelnaak ak bau soeih ing be sak khqpet hyk ti.
8 I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you, Lord, alone keep me safe.
Zaih nyng saw ngaihding cana ip hly hawh nyng; Aw Bawipa ka loetnaak taw nang doek khoeih ni.
