Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue me.
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit teh Gath kho vah, Filistin kut dawk a pha nah a sak e la Oe Cathut, kai na pahren haw. Taminaw ni padoun hanelah hnintangkuem na tuk teh, na rektap awh.
2 My enemies harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
Ka tarannaw ni hnintangkuem na kaven awh. Oe Lathueng Poung, na ka tarannaw teh apap poung.
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
Ka lung a puen toteh, nang na kâuep han.
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
Cathut dawk (a lawk ka pholen han), Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, taki han awm hoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
Ahnimouh teh kaie lawk hah hnintangkuem alouklah a pouk awh. Kai dawk kahawihoehe pouknae dueng doeh a pouk awh.
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
Kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh teh, cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, ka khokhnuk hah mitnout a ta awh.
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
Ahnimouh teh a payonnae dawk hoi a hlout awh han namaw. Oe Cathut, na lungkhuek nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung pâlei haw.
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
Ka kâvanae hah na touk teh, tuium dawk ka mitphi hah na ta. Na cauk dawk ao nahoehmaw.
9 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
Nang koe ka hram toteh, ka tarannaw koung a yawng awh han. Hetheh ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaie doeh.
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
Cathut dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han), BAWIPA dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han).
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, ka taket mahoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
Oe Cathut, nang koe ka lawkkamnae ni na katek teh, nang koevah, pholennae ka dei han.
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh duenae thung hoi na rungngang. Kahringnaw e angnae rahim vah, Cathut hmalah ka pai thai na han, ka khok kamthui hoeh nahan, na rungngang toe nahoehmaw.
