< Psalms 19 >
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
Kathutkung: Devit Kalvannaw ni Cathut bawilennae a pathang awh. Kakaw poung e kalvan ni a kutsak tie a kamnue sak.
2 Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
Khosei ni khodai koe lawk a dei teh, karum ni karum koe a cangkhai.
3 There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
Lawk dei e, lawk kâpan e ahnimae pahni dawk hoi thai hoeh eiteh,
4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
ahnimae lawk teh talai van pueng a cei teh, talai poutnae koe totouh a pha. Ahnimouh koevah, kanî hanelah lukkareiim a ta pouh.
5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
Hahoi, kanî teh, yupaluenkung imrakhan thung hoi ka tâcawt e patetlah ao teh, yawngkâtânae koe a tha kaawm poung e, konawm laihoi ka yawng hane patetlah ao.
6 His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
Avang lae kalvan apoutnae koehoi, a tâco teh, avanglae kalvan apoutnae koe totouh, a kâhei dawkvah, a kâannae dawk hoi kahlout e awm hoeh.
7 The LORD’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
BAWIPA e kâlawk teh akuep dawkvah, hringnae a roung sak. BAWIPA e lawkpanuesaknae teh a kamceng dawkvah, kamawngrame hah a lung a ang sak.
8 The LORD’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
BAWIPA e phunglawk teh a lan teh, lungthin a konawm sak. BAWIPA ni kâpoe e teh a thoung teh, mit a ang sak.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
BAWIPA takinae teh a thoung teh, a yungyoe a kangning. BAWIPA lawkcengnae teh a lan teh, katang e lah ao.
10 They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
Sui hlak hai sôlêi e sui hlak hai ngai hanelah ao. Khoitui hoi khoipha hlak hai a radiphnawn.
11 Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
Hothloilah, hotnaw hno lahoi na san hah kâhruetcuet na poe teh, hote lawknaw tarawinae tawkphu teh a len poung.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
Apimaw mae payonnae ka panuek thai. Pâpha e payonnae dawk hoi na thoung sak haw.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
Na san heh yonnae ka sak hoeh nahanlah, thama lahoi na kuen nateh, hotnaw teh ka lathueng vah kâ tawn sak hanh.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.
Oe BAWIPA, ka thaonae hoi na ka ratangkung, ka dei e dawk hoi ka pouk e naw heh, na mithmu vah na lung ka youk lah awm seh.
