Psalms 16
1 God, protect me because I go to you to keep me safe!
Aw Khawsa, ni loet sak lah, namah a venawh ni kang thuk law.
2 I said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord; all the good things that I have come from you.”
Bawipa venawh, Nang taw ka Bawipa na awm hyk ti; nang kaa taw leeknaak tehca awm am ta nyng,” ka ti.
3 Your people who live in this land are wonderful; I delight to be with them.
Qam khuiawh ak awm thlang ciimkhqi ce, Boeimangnaak ing ak be kai a zeelnaak kungkhqi na awm uhy.
4 Those who choose to worship other gods will have many things that cause them to be sad. I will not join them when they make sacrifices [to their gods]; I will not even join them when they speak [MTY] the names of their gods.
Ak chang khawsakhqi venna ak cenkhqi ak kawseetnaak taw pung khqoet kaw. A mingmih a thi ce khawsakhqi hamna am hawk pe kawng nyng saw, a mingmih ang ming awm ka hui awh ap kqawn qoe kawng nyng.
5 Yahweh, you are the one whom I have chosen, and you give me great blessings. You protect me and control what happens to me.
Bawipa, ka huh hly kawi ingkaw ka boet ce ni taak pe hyt hawh tiksaw; ka huh hly kawi ce ni taak pe khak hawh hyk ti.
6 Yahweh has given me a wonderful place in which to live; I am delighted with all the things that he has given me [MET].
Khawqi ing a leeknaak soeih awh kai aham khan qu nawh; ka qo pang hly kawi awh ce zeel soeih nyng.
7 I will praise Yahweh, the one who teaches/disciplines me; even at night [he] you put in my mind what is right for me to do.
Khaw anik poek peekkung Bawipa ce kyihcah vang; khawmthan awh awm kak kawlung ing ni cawngpyi hy.
8 I know that Yahweh is always with me. He is beside me; so nothing will (perturb me/cause me to be worried).
Bawipa ce ka haiawh awm sak poepa nyng. Anih ce kak tang ben awh a awm dawngawh, am thyn qoe ti kawng.
9 Therefore I am glad and I [MTY, DOU] rejoice; I can rest securely
Cedawngawh kak kawlung zeel nawh kam lai ak kaw zeel hy; ka pum awm a sa loet kaw.
10 because you, Yahweh, will not allow my soul/spirit to remain in the place where the dead people are; you will not allow me, your godly one, to stay there. (Sheol h7585)
Ikawtih, nang ing phyi awh am ni cehta hyt kawm tiksaw, nak Thlang Ciim ce am thu sak kawp ti. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the road that leads to [receiving eternal] life, and you will make me joyful when I am with you. I will have pleasure forever when I am (at your right hand/seated next to you).
Hqingnaak lam ce nani sim sak hawh a dawngawh; na haiawh zeelnaak, nak tang ben awhkaw kumqui zeelnaak ing ni be sak kawp ti.
