< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit ni a sak e la: A capa Absalom koehoi a yawng nah sak e Oe BAWIPA, kaie tarannaw teh apap poung. Kai na ka tarannaw apap poung.
2 Many are saying of my soul, 'There is no salvation for him in God.' (Selah)
Taminaw ni, ahni teh Cathut koehoi e kabawpnae awmhoeh telah kai hanelah a dei awh. (Selah)
3 And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.
Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, nang teh kai hanlah kânguenae bahling, kaie bawilennae lah na o teh, kaie lû katawmkung lah na o.
4 My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, (Selah)
Kai ni hram laihoi, BAWIPA hah ka kaw toteh, ahni ni kathounge mon dawk hoi kai hah na pato. (Selah)
5 I — I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
BAWIPA ni na kabawp dawkvah, kai teh ka i thai teh, ka kâhlaw thai.
6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.
Kai hah avoivang lahoi na kalup niteh, na ka tuk e tami thong hra touh ka phat hai ka taket hoeh.
7 Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Kaie Cathut, na rungngang haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni ka tarannaw pueng e kamhru hah, na hem pouh teh, tamikathoutnaw e a hâ hah na khoe pouh.
8 Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! (Selah)
Rungngangnae teh BAWIPA e doeh. Nange yawhawinae teh, na taminaw koe phat lawiseh. (Selah)
