Saam 31
1 Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk hy, chah koeh ni phyih sak; na dyngnaak awh ce ni hul lah.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Nang haa keng law nawhtaw, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah; kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh, ka hulkung vawngcak na awm lah.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 Nang taw kang thuknaak ingkaw ka vawngnu na, na awm a dawngawh nang ming ak caming ni ceh pyi nawhtaw ni hqui lah.
For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Ka haiawh a dun qu thang awhkawng ni loet sak lah, nang taw kang thuknaak kung na na awm a dawngawh.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 Na kut awh kang myihla ni pe nyng; Aw Bawipa awitak Khawsa ni hul lah.
Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.
6 Kawna amak awm myiqawl ak bawkkhqi ce sawh na nyng saw; Bawipa ce ypna nyng.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.
7 Na lungnaak awh ce zeelmang ing awm vang, kawtih nang ing ka kyinaak ce hu law tiksaw kang myihla ing a khuikhanaak ce sim hyk ti.
I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Ka qaal a venawh amni pe nawh ka khaw qawi ve hun nepnaak awh ning dyih sak hyk ti.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Aw Bawipa ngaihang kawbin na ka awm a dawngawh, kai ve nim qeen lah; kak kawseet aih awh mik awm am dai hqa voel nyng; kang myihla ingkaw ka pum awm kawseet lungnat zawk hy.
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
10 Ka hqingnaak ve kawsetnaak ing daih nawh ka kumkhqi awm ko ang kqangnaak ing khaw kum boeih hy; ka khuikha aih awh kak tha awm boet hqoeng nawh, ka quh awm ak tha am awm voel hy.
For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11 Ka qaalkhqi dawngawh, ka pilnamkhqi ing ni hep unawh; ka pyikhqi ing nik kqih uhy - lam awh kai anik hukhqi ing ni centaak boeih uhy.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Ak thi hawh amyihna cekkhqi ing nim hilh boeih uhy; dek-am ak kqek zak amyihna ni ka awm hqoeng hawh.
I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13 Thlang khawzah ing a mini tengnaak awi doeng za nyng; voei a vang awh kqihnaak hqoeng na awm hy; kai ing am ka ngaihnaak ben awh ce za qu unawh ka hqingnaak him aham cai uhy.
For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Cehlai, Bawipa nang ni ka ni ypnaak; “nang taw ka Khawsa ni” ti nyng.
But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 Ka tymkhqi ve nang a kut khuiawh ni a awm; ka qaalkhqi ingkaw kai anik hqutkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Na tyihzawih ak khan awh na haai hlangpan sak nawh; amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing ni hul lah.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
17 Aw Bawipa, chah koeh ni phyih sak, nang a venawh ni kak khy law; cehlai thlak chekhqi taw chah phyih sak nawh phyi khuiawh awimyh na zaih sak khing lah. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Cekkhqi ing qaai awi amik kqawnnaak hui ce sit sak lah, oek qunaak ingkaw hepnaak ing thlakdyngkhqi ce amik kaa naak a dawngawh.
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19 Nang anik kqihkhqi aham cun pe nawh, thlanghqingkhqi haiawh nang awh ak thukkhqi aham na taak zoseennaak taw bau soeih hy.
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
20 Ang hyp na ak tengkungkhqi ven awhkawng na haai awhkaw awmnaak hun awh ak mawng na ta hyk ti.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Khawk bau cak awh ka awm awh kawpoek kyi qeennaak ce ang dang law sak a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng.
Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
22 Ka ly aih awh, “ning hawi taak valh hawh amih hyk ti!” ti nyng. Cehlai, qeennaak ka thoeh law awh ce qeennaak ing kak khynaak awi ce ngai law hyk ti.
As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 A thlakciimkhqi boeih aw, Bawipa ce lungna lah uh! Bawipa ing ypawm thlangkhqi ce hqui a sawi nawh ak oek qu thlangkhqi taw a khawboe amyihna thung pehy.
Oh love the LORD, all you his holy ones! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Nangmih Bawipa awh ngaih-unaak ak takhqi boeih namik tha awm sak unawh na mim thin caksak lah uh.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
