Saam 41

1 Tha amak awm khawdeng thlang ak husim thlang taw a zoseen hy; kyinaak a huh awh anih ce Bawipa ing loet sak lawt kaw.

For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.

2 Bawipa ing anih ce hloep kawmsaw a hqingnaak ce loet pe sak kaw; qam khuiawh anih ce zoseennaak pe kawmsaw a qaalkhqi ak kawngaihnaak a soepnaak aham anih ce am pe tikaw.

He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.

3 A tlawh awh awm Bawipa ing awm pyi kawmsaw a tlawhnaak ihkhun awhkawng thawh tlaih kaw.

The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.

4 Kai ing, Aw Bawipa, kai ve nim qeen lah; ni qoei sak lah, nak khan awh thawlh vik nyng,” ti nyng.

For this cause I say, “Lord, show me your favor; heal me, because I have sinned against you.”

5 Ka qaalkhqi ing kai ve “ityk awh nu thi nawh a plaltham kaw?” ni tina uhy.

My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”

6 kai huh aham ak law poh ing, amak thym hqoeng kqawn hy, ak kawk khuiawh thetnaak awi hqoeng awm hy; a ceh coengawh ak doem khqoet na kqawn hyn bai hy.

When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.

7 Ka qaalkhqi boeih ing kai ve thlak che na ni hu unawh, ak che doek khoeih ka ham poek uhy,

In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.

8 Tlawhche ing pha hawh nawh, ang zaihnaak hun awhkawng am tho voel tikaw,” ni tina uhy.

“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.”

9 Ka pyihleek soeih, ka ypnaak soeih ingkaw phaihpi anik veel pyi nawn ing, a khawdil nik thlek sih hy.

My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.

10 Cehlai, Aw Bawipa, nang ing nim qeen lah; cekkhqi kut ka thungnaak aham, nim thawh cang lah.

But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.

11 Ka qaalkhqi ing a mami noeng dawngawh, kak khan awh nak kaw zeel hy ti sim nyng.

By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.

12 Ak thym kawlung ka taak dawngawh nang ing nim tu khak nawh na haai awh kumqui dyna ni awm sak hyk ti.

For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.

13 Israel Khawsa, Bawipa venawh thangleeknaak awm seh nyng, kumqui awhkawng kumqui dyna Amen ingkaw Amen.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen.
