Psalms 16
1 [A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na roum sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang doeh na kângue.
2 I said to Jehovah, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
Oe ka hringnae, Jehovah koe nang teh ka Bawipapa doeh, nang laipateh ka hawinae hah banghai bang hoeh lah ao telah dei haw.
3 As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Talaivan kaawm e tami kathoungnaw hanelah, ahnimouh teh tami kahawi katang, ka konawmnae pueng onae doeh telah ka ti.
4 Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Karangpoung lah cathut louk hnukkâbangnaw teh, rucatnae moi a khang awh han. Awi hane thuengnae thi hah ka poe mahoeh. Ka pahni hoi a min hai ka dei mahoeh.
5 Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Oe BAWIPA, nang teh ka ham hoi ka manang lah na o teh, ka ham hah na cak sak.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
Ka khori teh, kai hanlah kahawipoung e ram dawk a kâen. Kahawi katang e râw teh ka coe han.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Pouknae na kapoekung BAWIPA teh ka pholen han. Karum hai ka lungthin ni kahringnae a hroecoe.
8 I have put Jehovah before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
BAWIPA teh kahma lah pou ka hruek. Ama teh aranglae kut lah ao dawkvah, ka kâhuen mahoeh.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Hatdawkvah, ka lungthin a lunghawi teh, ka bawilennae teh a konawm. Ka takthai hai ngaihawinae hoi a kâhat han.
10 For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka muitha teh phuen vah na cettakhai mahoeh. Na tami kathoung teh pawklawi e na pasoung mahoeh. (Sheol h7585)
11 You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
Hringnae lamthung na hmu sak han. Nang koe konawmnae ka kuep teh ao. Nange aranglae kut dawk a yungyoe nawmnae teh ao.
