Psalms 34
1 “By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.
Kawmih a tym awh awm Bawipa taw zoeksang kawng nyng; amah kyihcahnaak ce ka hui kam lai awh awm quiqah kaw.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.
Ka hqingnaak ve Bawipa awh ak tha awm kaw; ak khuikhakhqi ing za seitaw zeel u seh.
3 Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Bawipa ce nim kyihcah pyi unawh; ang ming ce kut oet cana zoeksang lah u sih.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.
Bawipa ce sui nyng, amah ing nim hlat hy; kak kqihnaak boeih awhkawng amah ing ni hul hy.
5 They [who] looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.
Amah ak toek thlangkhqi boeih taw vang unawh; ami haaikhqi ce chahnaak ing am dah pe qoe hy.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.
Khawdeng thlang ing ak khy awh ce, Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh, a khuikhanaak khqi boeih awhkawng anih ce hul hy.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.
Amah ak kqih thlangkhqi taw BawipaK khan ceityihkhqi ing chung unawh anih ce hul uhy.
8 Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.
Bawipa a leeknaak ce tan unawh taw hu lah uh; amah awh ak thukkhqi taw a zoseen hy.
9 Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.
Nangmih amah ak thlangciimkhqi, Bawipa ce kqih lah uh, kawtih amah ak kqihkhqi taw ikaw awm am deng ti kawm uh.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.
Sendeih taw ak tha boeih nawh ak phoen cawi thai hy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi taw ik-oeih leek am deng qoe uhy.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.
Ka cakhqi law unawh taw ngai lah uh; Bawipa kqihnaak ce ni cawngpyi vang nyng.
12 Who is the man that desireth life, loveth [many] days, that he may see happiness?
Nangmih hqingnaak ak lungnaakkhqi ingkaw khawnghik leek khawzah huh aham ak ngaihkhqi,
13 Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
awihche am nak kqawnnaak aham nam lai ce cyt unawh na hui ing qaai awi amak kqawnnaak aham cyt lah uh.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Ik-oeih che ce cehta unawh ik-oeih leek ce sai lah uh; qoepnaak ce sui unawh hquut lah uh.
15 The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.
Thlakdyng ak khan awh Bawipa amik taw awm nawh ak khynaak awi ce ang haa ing ngai pehy.
16 [But] the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.
Cehlai, ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi ce Bawipa ing hawi taak nawh, khawmdek awh a mingmih ami awm ce am sim loet voel hy.
17 Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.
Thlakdyng ak khynaak ce Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh; cekkhqi ce kyinaak ak khui awhkawng hul khqi hy.
18 The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken-hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.
Kawlung ak kqekkhqi venawh Bawipa taw zoe penawh lingbyi ak kqekkhqi ce hul hy.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.
Thlakdyng taw kyinaak khawzah hu seiawm, cekkhqi boeih ak khui awhkawng Bawipa ing anih ce hul hy;
20 He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
a quhkhqi boeih ce ak chung a hlip peek a dawngawh, pynoet ca awm am ek tikaw.
21 The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.
Cehlai, thlak che taw leeknaak ing him kawmsaw; thlakdyng a qaal ce thawlh sak na awm kaw.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and all that trust in him shall not incur guiltiness.
Bawipa ing a tyihzawihkhqi ce hul nawh; amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih taw am thawlh qoe kaw.
