Psalms 4
1 God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
Aw ka dyngnaak Khawsa, ka nik khy awh ce oei lah. Ngaih kyi ing ka awm awh ngaihqepnak ni pe lah; nim qeen nawh kak cykcah awi ning ngai pe lah.
2 How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
Aw thlangkhqi, ka boeimangnaak ve han dy awh nu chahqai na naming coeng hly sak hy voei? Han dy awh nu oek thawlhnaak ce lungna unawh, amak thym khawsa ce nami sui khak kaw?
3 All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
Bawipa ing amah ben awh ak ypawm thlangkhqi ce amah aham hoep hawh hy ti sim lah uh; kak khy awh Bawipa ing kak awi za kaw.
4 When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
Namik kaw a sonaak awh koeh thawlh uh; ihkhun awh naming zaih awh namik kaw poek hqeet unawh awm dym uh.
5 Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
Ak thym bulnaak ce nawn nawh Bawipa ce ypna lah.
6 Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
U ing nu them leek a nim huh lah voei?” thlang khawzah ing ti uhy. Aw Bawipa na haai vangnaak ce kak khanawh be sak lah.
7 You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
Caang ingkaw misur thaih ami zen awhkaw zeelnaak anglakawh, kak kawlung ve zeelnaak ak bau soeih ing be sak khqpet hyk ti.
8 I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
Zaih nyng saw ngaihding cana ip hly hawh nyng; Aw Bawipa ka loetnaak taw nang doek khoeih ni.
