Psalms 34
1 BY DAVID, IN HIS CHANGING HIS BEHAVIOR BEFORE ABIMELECH, AND HE DRIVES HIM AWAY, AND HE GOES. [ALEPH-BET] I bless YHWH at all times, His praise [is] continually in my mouth.
Kathutkung: Devit, Abimelek hmalah pathu a kâsak nah ahni ni a hrek teh, a ceitakhai nah sak e la BAWIPA teh pou ka pholen han. Ama pholennae teh ka kâko hoi pou tâcawt seh.
2 In YHWH my soul boasts herself, The humble hear and rejoice.
Ka hringnae ni BAWIPA dawk a kâoup han. Kârahnoumnaw ni a thai awh vaiteh, a lunghawi awh han.
3 Ascribe greatness to YHWH with me, And we exalt His Name together.
Oe BAWIPA teh na pholen khai awh haw. A min teh rei kâoupkhai awh sei.
4 I sought YHWH, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
BAWIPA ka tawng navah, ama ni na thai pouh. Ka takinae pueng thung hoi na rasa.
5 They looked expectingly to Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
Ama kakhennaw teh, minhmai a pan awh. Nâtuek hai kayanae awm mahoeh.
6 This poor [one] called, and YHWH heard, And saved him from all his distresses.
Hete mathoe ni a hram teh, BAWIPA ni a thai. Runae pueng thung hoi a rasa.
7 A messenger of YHWH is encamping, Around those who fear Him, And He arms them.
Ama kataketnaw teh, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni a teng vah petkâkalup lahoi a tungpup sin awh teh, ouk a rasa awh.
8 Taste and see that YHWH [is] good, O the blessedness of the man who trusts in Him.
Oe, BAWIPA hawinae patek awh nateh khen awh haw. Ama kâuepnaw teh tami a yawkahawinaw doeh.
9 Fear YHWH, you His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
Oe, a tamikathoungnaw, BAWIPA teh taket awh. A ma kataketnaw teh voutthoup hoi awm boihoeh.
10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking YHWH do not lack any good,
Sendektancanaw patenghai ca hane tawn laipalah vonhlam hoi ouk ao awh. Hatei, BAWIPA katawngnaw teh, hnokahawi tawn laipalah, awm awh mahoeh.
11 Come, children, listen to me, I teach you the fear of YHWH.
Camonaw tho awh haw, ka lawk thai awh haw. BAWIPA takinae na cangkhai awh han.
12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
Apimaw nuenkahawi hoi hring han ka ngai. Apimaw hnokahawi hmu hanlah hring saw ka ngai.
13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
Na lai teh yonnae thung hoi ring nateh, na pahni hah dumnae lawk dei hoeh nahanlah ring haw.
14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
Yonnae cettakhai nateh hawinae sak. Roumnae tawng nateh pâleih.
15 The eyes of YHWH [are] to the righteous, And His ears to their cry.
BAWIPA mit ni tamikalannaw a khet teh, a hramnae lawk thai hanelah a hnâ a pakeng.
16 (The face of YHWH [is] on doers of evil, To cut off their memorial from earth.)
BAWIPA minhmai ni hawihoehnae kasakkungnaw hah a taran. Talai van ahnimouh pou pouknae tâkhawng pouh lah ao han.
17 They cried, and YHWH heard, And delivered them from all their distresses.
Tamikalan a hram toteh, BAWIPA ni a thai pouh teh runae thung hoi a rasa.
18 YHWH [is] near to the broken of heart, And He saves the bruised of spirit.
A lungkareknaw hanelah, BAWIPA a hnai teh, muitha lungkamathoutnaw a rungngang.
19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous, YHWH delivers him out of them all.
Tamikalannaw ni runae moi a kâhmo awh. Hatei, BAWIPA ni hotnaw thung hoi a rungngang.
20 He is keeping all his bones, Not one of them has been broken.
A hru pueng a ring pouh, buet touh boehai khoe lah awm mahoeh.
21 Evil puts the wicked to death, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
Hawihoehnae ni tamikathout thet vaiteh, tamikalan kahmuhmanaw teh thoebo lah ao awh han.
22 YHWH redeems the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
BAWIPA ni a sannaw hringnae hah a ratang teh, ama kâuepnaw teh buet touh boehai thoebo lah awm mahoeh.
