Sam 7
1 Kathutkung: Devit, Devit teh Benjamin tami Kush e lawk kecu dawk BAWIPA hmalah a sak e la Oe BAWIPA, ka Cathut, nang teh na kâuep. Na ka pacekpahlek e pueng koehoi na rungngang nateh na hlout sak haw.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord about Cush, the Benjamite. Lord my God, I take refuge in you. Deliver me, save me from all who pursue me;
2 Hoehpawiteh, sendek patetlah na kei vaiteh, rungngangkung ao hoehnahlan vah, na paset awh han doeh.
or like lions they will tear me to pieces, and rend me, past hope of rescue.
3 Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kai ni hottelah ka sak vaiteh, ka kut dawk payonnae kaawm nakunghai,
Lord, my God, if my life has been such if my hands have been stained with guilt,
4 Kai koe duem kaawm e hah thoenae hoi ka patho teh, ka tarannaw hah a khuekhaw awm laipalah ka coungroe pawiteh,
if friends I paid back with evil, if I plundered my foes without cause,
5 taran ni na pâlei naseh, na phat naseh. Kahringnae hah talai dawk repcoungroe awh naseh. Minhmai barinae hah vaiphu dawk tat awh naseh. (Selah)
may the enemy chase and find me, trample my life to the ground, my honour leave in the dirt! (Selah)
6 Oe BAWIPA, lungkhuek laihoi thaw haw, ka tarannaw e lungkhueknae hah ngang haw. Kâ na poe tangcoung patetlah kai han lawkceng hanlah thaw haw.
Arise, Lord, in anger, against my foes rise in fury. Awake for my help: let justice be done.
7 Miphunnaw kamkhueng awh vaiteh, nang hah na kalup awh han. Ahnimouh hanlah arasangnae koe ban haw.
Gather the nations about you, and sit on your lofty throne,
8 BAWIPA ni lawk a ceng han. Oe BAWIPA, ka lannae hoi ka thung kaawm e yuemkamcu lah ka o e patetlah lawk na ceng haw.
as the Lord, the judge of the peoples. Judge me, Lord, in my innocence and according to my integrity.
9 Oe tamikathoutnaw, thoenae teh poutsak lah awm lawiseh. Hatei, lannae teh caksak lah awm seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lan e Cathut ni lungthin hoi pouknae hah ouk a tanouk.
Put an end to the wrong of the wicked, protect the righteous. Searcher of hearts and minds, righteous God.
10 Lungthin kalannaw rungngangkung Cathut teh kai kânguenae lah ao.
God is my shield: he saves the upright in heart.
11 Cathut teh kalan e lawkcengkung lah ao teh, Cathut teh tamikathoutnaw koe hnintangkuem a lungkhuek.
God is a just judge, constant in righteous anger.
12 Pankângai hoehpawiteh, a tahloi hah kata vaiteh, licung hah sawn vaiteh, coungkacoe lah ao han.
He will sharpen his sword without fail, his bow is bent and ready,
13 Duenae senehmaica hai ahni hanlah a rakueng teh, hmai kang thai e samtang hah a sak awh.
his deadly weapons are ready, his arrows he makes of flame.
14 Tamikathout ni yonnae hah a khe. Runae hah a vawn teh laithoe ouk a khe.
The enemy who conceives evil; pregnant with mischief, giving birth to lies,
15 Tangkom kadungpoung lah a tai teh, a tai e tangkom dawk ama letlang a bo.
a pit they have made and dug; but into the hole that they made they will fall.
16 A sak e runae hah amae lû van bout ban vaiteh, a tâcosak e thoenae teh amae lû van bout a pha han.
On their own heads their mischief comes back; on their own skulls their violence comes down.
17 BAWIPA teh a lan e patetlah ka pholen han. Lathueng Poung BAWIPA min pholen hoi la ka sak han.
I will give thanks to the Lord for his justice, and sing to the name of the Lord Most High.
