Psalms 34
1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.
Kawmih a tym awh awm Bawipa taw zoeksang kawng nyng; amah kyihcahnaak ce ka hui kam lai awh awm quiqah kaw.
2 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
Ka hqingnaak ve Bawipa awh ak tha awm kaw; ak khuikhakhqi ing za seitaw zeel u seh.
3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
Bawipa ce nim kyihcah pyi unawh; ang ming ce kut oet cana zoeksang lah u sih.
4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
Bawipa ce sui nyng, amah ing nim hlat hy; kak kqihnaak boeih awhkawng amah ing ni hul hy.
5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
Amah ak toek thlangkhqi boeih taw vang unawh; ami haaikhqi ce chahnaak ing am dah pe qoe hy.
6 This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
Khawdeng thlang ing ak khy awh ce, Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh, a khuikhanaak khqi boeih awhkawng anih ce hul hy.
7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
Amah ak kqih thlangkhqi taw BawipaK khan ceityihkhqi ing chung unawh anih ce hul uhy.
8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
Bawipa a leeknaak ce tan unawh taw hu lah uh; amah awh ak thukkhqi taw a zoseen hy.
9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
Nangmih amah ak thlangciimkhqi, Bawipa ce kqih lah uh, kawtih amah ak kqihkhqi taw ikaw awm am deng ti kawm uh.
10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
Sendeih taw ak tha boeih nawh ak phoen cawi thai hy, cehlai Bawipa ak sui thlangkhqi taw ik-oeih leek am deng qoe uhy.
11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
Ka cakhqi law unawh taw ngai lah uh; Bawipa kqihnaak ce ni cawngpyi vang nyng.
12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
Nangmih hqingnaak ak lungnaakkhqi ingkaw khawnghik leek khawzah huh aham ak ngaihkhqi,
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
awihche am nak kqawnnaak aham nam lai ce cyt unawh na hui ing qaai awi amak kqawnnaak aham cyt lah uh.
14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
Ik-oeih che ce cehta unawh ik-oeih leek ce sai lah uh; qoepnaak ce sui unawh hquut lah uh.
15 The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
Thlakdyng ak khan awh Bawipa amik taw awm nawh ak khynaak awi ce ang haa ing ngai pehy.
16 (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
Cehlai, ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi ce Bawipa ing hawi taak nawh, khawmdek awh a mingmih ami awm ce am sim loet voel hy.
17 They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
Thlakdyng ak khynaak ce Bawipa ing zaak pe nawh; cekkhqi ce kyinaak ak khui awhkawng hul khqi hy.
18 Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
Kawlung ak kqekkhqi venawh Bawipa taw zoe penawh lingbyi ak kqekkhqi ce hul hy.
19 Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
Thlakdyng taw kyinaak khawzah hu seiawm, cekkhqi boeih ak khui awhkawng Bawipa ing anih ce hul hy;
20 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
a quhkhqi boeih ce ak chung a hlip peek a dawngawh, pynoet ca awm am ek tikaw.
21 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
Cehlai, thlak che taw leeknaak ing him kawmsaw; thlakdyng a qaal ce thawlh sak na awm kaw.
22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
Bawipa ing a tyihzawihkhqi ce hul nawh; amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih taw am thawlh qoe kaw.
