Saam 59
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Miktam. Anih ih bungmu to paro pae hmah. David hum hanah Saul mah angmah im ah kami patoeh nathuem ih. Aw ka Sithaw, ka misanawk ban thung hoi na loisak ah; ka misanawk ban thung hoiah pakaa ah.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Kasae sah kaminawk thung hoiah na loisak ah; athii anghae kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
Deliver me from evildoers. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Khenah, nihcae loe kai hum hanah angang o; Aw Angraeng, thacak kaminawk loe ka zaehaih pongah na ai, ka sakpazaehaih pongah doeh na ai ah, ka nuiah kahoih ai hmuen sak hanah amkhueng o.
For, look, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Jehovah.
4 Nihcae loe ka sakpazaehaih tidoeh om ai ah, cawnh o moe, tuk hanah amsak o coek boeh; kai abomh hanah angthawk ah loe na khen ah!
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, look, and help me.
5 Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, Israel Sithaw, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk thuitaek hanah angthawk ah; kasae sah kami loe, kawbaktih kami nuiah doeh palungnathaih to tawn hmah. (Selah)
You, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
6 Nihcae loe duembang ah amlaem o; ui baktiah hangh o moe, vangpui thungah amkaeh o.
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7 Khenah, nihcae loe patoekhaih lok to thuih o; nihcae ih pahni thungah loe sumsen to oh, mi mah maw thaih tang tih, tiah a thuih o.
Look, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"
8 Toe Aw Angraeng, nihcae to pahnui thui ah loe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk boih to pahnui thui ah.
But you, Jehovah, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9 Anih thacakhaih ah kaom nang, nang to kang zing han; Aw Sithaw, nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh.
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10 Amlunghaih ka Sithaw mah na pakaa tih; ka misanawk nuiah anghoehaih to Sithaw mah na hnusak tih.
My God of mercy will come to meet me. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11 Kaicae angvaenghaih, Aw Angraeng, nihcae to hum hmah; na hum nahaeloe kai ih kaminawk mah pahnet o ving moeng tih; na thacakhaih hoiah nihcae to anghaehsak phaeng ah loe, pakhrah tathuk ah.
Do not kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Jehovah our shield.
12 Pakha hoi tangoenghaih, kamoek pahninawk hoiah a thuih o ih lok amlaihaih pongah aman o king nasoe.
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13 Palungphuihaih hoiah nihcae to amrosak ah loe, tamit boih ah; Jakob hoi long boenghaih khoek to Sithaw mah ni uk, tiah nihcae mah panoek o nasoe. (Selah)
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the farthest parts of the earth. (Selah)
14 Nihcae loe duembang ah amlaem o nasoe; ui baktiah hang o nasoe loe, vangpui thungah amkae o nasoe.
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 Buh pakronghaih hoiah ahmuen kruekah amhet o nasoe loe, zok kamthlam ah aqum puek hang o nasoe.
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
16 Toe kai loe na thacakhaih to laa ah ka sak han; ue, raihaih ka tong naah, nang loe kang vaenghaih hoi ka buephaih ah na oh pongah, na palungnathaih pongah akhawnbang ah hanghaih hoiah laa ka sak han.
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Aw ka thacakhaih, nang khaeah laa ka sak han; Sithaw loe ka buephaih ah oh moe, amlunghaih Sithaw ah oh.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
