Saam 41
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Kamtang tahmenhaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih: raihaih tongh naah Angraeng mah anih to pahlong tih.
Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 Angraeng mah anih to toep tih, anih to hingsak pongah, long nuiah tahamhoihaih hnu tih: Angraeng mah anih to a misanawk khaeah paek mak ai.
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 Ngannat naah Angraeng mah om thui tih: ngannat thung Angraeng mah anih ih iihkhunnawk boih to toep pae tih.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.
4 Kai mah, Aw Angraeng, na tahmen raeh: na nuiah zaehaih ka sak boeh pongah, ka hinghaih ngantuisak ah, tiah ka naa.
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.
5 Ka misanawk mah, Anih loe natuek naa ah maw dueh ueloe, ahmin to anghmaa tih? tiah kasae ang thuih o.
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 Kai hnuk hanah anih angzoh naah, amsoem ai lok to a thuih: anih ih palungthin loe sethaih khue talawk moe, tasa bang a caeh naah to kawng to a thuih.
And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.
7 Kai hnuma kaminawk boih mah nawnto kai kasae ang thuih o: kai nganbawh kana paek hanah a poek o.
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 Anih loe nathaih kasae mah phak thuih boeh pongah, angsonghaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk let mak ai boeh, tiah ang naa o.
An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
9 Ue, ka oep koek ih, kai ih takaw kacaa, ampui kangzong mah doeh, kai hae khok hoiah ang pathuih boeh.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 Toe Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ka sak pathok hanah, na tahmen raeh loe, na pathawk ah.
But you, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 Ka misanawk mah na pazawk o ai pongah, ka nuiah anghoehaih na tawnh, tito ka panoek.
By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Ka ciim pongah kai hae nang bomh, anih hmaa ah dungzan khoek to nang om thui tih.
And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.
13 Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to tahamhoihaih om nasoe. Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
