Psalms 27
1 “Of David.” The Lord is my light and my salvation; of whom shall I be afraid? the Lord is the fortress of my life; of whom shall I have dread?
Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA nang teh angnae hoi kaie rungngangnae doeh. Apihai ka taket ma hoeh. BAWIPA nang teh na kanguekung ka rapan la doeh na o ka lungpuen mahoeh.
2 When evil-doers come near against me to eat up my flesh, my assailants and my enemies at me: then do they stumble and fall.
Tami kahawihoehnaw ni na tuk teh thei hanlah na nout navah ouk a rawp awh teh ouk a tâlaw awh.
3 If an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war should arise against me, even then will I have trust.
Ransahu kalenpoung ni na kalup nakunghai ka lungpuen mahoeh. Taran ni na ka tuk nahai Cathut nang teh na kângue mingming han.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek for: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the loveliness of the Lord, and to be every morning early in his temple.
BAWIPA koe hno hei han ka ngai e hno buet touh doeh kaawm. Hothateh ka hring yunglam BAWIPA imthung o hane hoi yah, kângai runae lahoi lam na hrawi tie hah doeh.
5 For he will hide me in his pavilion on the day of evil; he will conceal me in the secret of his tabernacle; upon a rock will he place me high.
Rucatnae atueng dawkvah hnâroumcalah a rathei rahim na o sak. A bawkim thung vah hnâroumcalah na ta, ka rasang e lungsong van na thueng.
6 And now will my head be lifted up above my enemies all round about me; and I will sacrifice in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing, and I will triumphantly play unto the Lord.
Hatdawkvah ka tengpam e kaawm e ka taran teh katâ han lunghawinae pawlawk hoi a bawkim thungvah thuengnae teh ka poe han.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, [when] I call, and be gracious unto me, and answer me.
BAWIPA pahren lahoi, kai ni na kaw navah ka lawk na thai pouh nateh kahei e na thai pouh haw.
8 Of thee, said my heart, “Seek ye my presence”: thy presence, Lord, will I seek.
Kai koe, Tho haw na ka tet e BAWIPA koe ka tho han.
9 Hide [then] not thy face from me; reject not in anger thy servant, thou [who] hast been my help: cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Kai koe na minhmai hrawk hanh. Kai koe na lungphuen hanh, na san heh na pâlei hanh lah a. Oe Cathut kaie rungngangnae nang teh kabawmkung doeh. Na cettakhai hanh. Pak na tha hanh lah a.
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me; but the Lord will take me up.
Anu hoi apa ni na ka pahnawt nakunghai BAWIPA nang ni pou na khenyawn lah a.
11 Point me out thy way, O Lord! and guide me on a level path, because of those that regard me enviously.
Oe, BAWIPA taran ka tawn dawkvah roumnae lam koe lahoi na cetkhai lah a. Na ngainae na pâtu haw.
12 Give me not up to the [revengeful] desire of my assailants; for there are risen up against me false witnesses, and such as utter violence.
Laithoe hoi pou na ka yue e taran koe na tat hanh.
13 Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of life—
A taminaw lathueng BAWIPA hawinae ka hmu roeroe han telah ka yuem.
14 Wait on the Lord; be strong, and let thy heart be of good courage; and only wait on the Lord.
BAWIPA teh kângue awh, yuemnae tawn awh, na lungpout awh hanh. BAWIPA teh kângue awh.
