Saam 13

1 Aw Bawipa, handy hly nu? Kai na nim hilh hly loet hawh nawh nu? Handy nu na haai na thuh kaw.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, YHWH? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

2 Handy awh kawpoek ingqawi kqak qu nih nawh myngawi kawseet ing ka awm loet kaw? Handy nu ka qaalkhqi ing kai ami noeng kaw?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

3 Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ni toek nawhtaw nim hlat lah. Kamik ve dai law sak lah, cek kaa mantaw thihnaak ing ip loet hawh kawng nyng;

Look, and answer me, YHWH, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

4 Cawhtaw ka qaalkhqi ing, “Noeng hawh nyng,” ni tina kawm usaw, kang tluk awh ce ka qaalkhqi zeel hawh kawm uh.

Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

5 Cehlai, amak dyt thai na lungnaak ce cangna nyng; na hulnaak awh kak kawlung zeel hy.

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 Kak khan awh leek saw, Bawipa venawh laa sa vang nyng.

I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of YHWH Most High.
