Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, lannae koe lah awm nateh, ka hramnae hah na thai pouh haw. Dumnae ka dei boihoeh e pahni hoi ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
Ka kong dawk lawk tâtuengnae hah na hmalah tâcawt naseh, na mit teh kalan e hno dawk um naseh.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Ka lungthin teh na tanouk toe. Karum vah na pai toe. Na tanouk teh banghai na hmawt hoeh. Ka pahni ni payon hoeh nahanelah ka noe toe.
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
Taminaw ni sak e kong dawk, karaphoekungnaw e lam hah na lawk lahoi ouk ka roun toe.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
Na lamthung dawk ka dawn lahun nah ka tâlaw payon hoeh nahanlah, na ka bawm haw.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
Oe Cathut, nang ni na thai pouh dawkvah, kai ni ka hei. Na hnâ pakeng nateh, ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Nang kâuepnaw hah, katarankungnaw e kut dawk hoi, rungngangkung Cathut, pahrenlungmanae hah kamnuek sak haw.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
Kai rep na kacuengroe e tamikayonnaw hoi kai thei hanlah na kalup e tarannaw kut dawk hoi,
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
Mitmu patetlah kai hah na ring haw. Na rathei rahim vah na ramuk haw.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Ahnimouh teh amamae thâwnae hah a kâuep awh teh, kâoup laihoi lawk a dei awh.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Ka ceinae lam hah a kalup awh teh, talai dawk rawp sak hanelah a mit pakhap laipalah na khet awh.
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
Sendek ni a kei e moi ca han thouk a ngai e patetlah thoseh, sendek kanaw ni arulahoi a pawp e patetlah thoseh ao awh.
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Kangdout sin nateh, rawm sak haw. Tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi na tahloi hoi na rungngang haw.
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
Oe BAWIPA, talai tami lah kaawm e hotnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Ahnimouh teh atuvah, amamouh hanelah, a pang awh toe. Ahnimae ngainae hah hnopai hoi a kawi sak. A canaw hai a tawnta awh teh, a catounnaw koe a hnopainaw hah a parâw pouh awh.
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
Kai niteh, lannae lahoi na minhmai ka hmu han. Nang patetlah ka kâhlaw toteh ka lung a kuep han.
