Psalms 34
1 [By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless Jehovah at all times. His praise will always 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 boast in Jehovah. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
Ka hqingnaak ve Bawipa awh ak tha awm kaw; ak khuikhakhqi ing za seitaw zeel u seh.
3 Oh magnify Jehovah with me. 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 Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Bawipa ce sui nyng, amah ing nim hlat hy; kak kqihnaak boeih awhkawng amah ing ni hul hy.
5 They looked to him and were radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.
Amah ak toek thlangkhqi boeih taw vang unawh; ami haaikhqi ce chahnaak ing am dah pe qoe hy.
6 This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
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 Jehovah encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
Amah ak kqih thlangkhqi taw BawipaK khan ceityihkhqi ing chung unawh anih ce hul uhy.
8 Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Bawipa a leeknaak ce tan unawh taw hu lah uh; amah awh ak thukkhqi taw a zoseen hy.
9 Oh fear Jehovah, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with 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 Jehovah shall not lack any good thing.
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, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
Ka cakhqi law unawh taw ngai lah uh; Bawipa kqihnaak ce ni cawngpyi vang nyng.
12 Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
Nangmih hqingnaak ak lungnaakkhqi ingkaw khawnghik leek khawzah huh aham ak ngaihkhqi,
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
awihche am nak kqawnnaak aham nam lai ce cyt unawh na hui ing qaai awi amak kqawnnaak aham cyt lah uh.
14 Turn away 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 Jehovah are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
Thlakdyng ak khan awh Bawipa amik taw awm nawh ak khynaak awi ce ang haa ing ngai pehy.
16 Jehovah's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
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 The righteous cry out, and Jehovah hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Thlakdyng ak khynaak ce Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh; cekkhqi ce kyinaak ak khui awhkawng hul khqi hy.
18 Jehovah is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Kawlung ak kqekkhqi venawh Bawipa taw zoe penawh lingbyi ak kqekkhqi ce hul hy.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.
Thlakdyng taw kyinaak khawzah hu seiawm, cekkhqi boeih ak khui awhkawng Bawipa ing anih ce hul hy;
20 He protects all of 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 Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
Cehlai, thlak che taw leeknaak ing him kawmsaw; thlakdyng a qaal ce thawlh sak na awm kaw.
22 Jehovah redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
Bawipa ing a tyihzawihkhqi ce hul nawh; amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih taw am thawlh qoe kaw.
