Saam 64
1 Aw Khawsa, kang ngaih kyinaak awi ka sa awh ve, ngai law lah; kqih awm qaal anglakawhkawng ka hqingnaak ve hlip chung lah.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Thlakchekhqi a tengnaak awhkawng ni thuh nawhtaw, khawboek chekhqi awipungkhqi ven awhkawng ni thuh lah.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Amim laikhqi ce zawzi amyihna taak pat la unawh, ak chy ak ngan la amyihna amik awi ing thlang hyt uhy.
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 Ak awm dym thlang ce mah unawh kaap uhy, kqihnaak taak kaana, anih ce kaap zap uhy.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Ak che ik-oeih poeknaak awh tha pe qu unawh, ang hypna ami dun thang akawng ce kqawn uhy; “U ing a huh tang kaw?” ti uhy.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?
6 Amak thym ik-oeih awh za qu unawh, “sai ham hly nik poek hloem lauh hy aa!” ti uhy. Thlanghqing ak kawlung ve qaai kqawn thai pai hy.
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 Cehlai, cekkhqi ce Khawsa ing la ing kaap kaw; kawlkalh awh cekkhqi ce kaap hawh kaw.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 A mimah am lai ha ce hawi pek khqi khup phlet kawmsaw plawci sak khqi kaw; ak hukhqi boeih ing thekhanaak ing a lu thlek sih kawm uh.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Thlanghqing boeih ing kqih hawh kawm uh; Khawsa bibi ce kqawn kawm usaw a ik-oeih sai ce poek kawm uh.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 Thlakdyng ingtaw Khawsa awh zeel seitaw amah awh ce thuk seh; kawlung ak dyngkhqi boeih ing amah kyihcah seh!
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
