2 Samuel 22
1 A thunkha cungkuem kut lamkah oe, Saul kut lamkah BOEIPA loh anih a huul hnin vaengah, David loh BOEIPA taengah hekah laa lung he a thui.
David spoke to YHWH the words of this song in the day that YHWH delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 Te vaengah, “BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong neh kai ham tah kai aka hlawt la om.
and he said, "YHWH is my Rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
3 Ka lungpang Pathen amah dongah ni ka ying, ka photling neh khangnah ki, ka imsang neh ka thuhaelnah, khangkung loh kai he kuthlahnah lamloh nan khang.
My God, my Rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; from violent people he saves me.
4 Thangthen ham tueng BOEIPA te ka khue dongah ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamloh ng'khang.
I call on YHWH, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
5 Dueknah tuiphu loh kai n'li tih, aka muen soklong loh n'let sak he.
For the waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. Te vaengah ka pang ol te a bawkim lamloh a hna neh a yaak.
In my distress I called upon YHWH, and I cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
8 Te vaengah diklai te tuen la tuen tih hinghuen. Anih taengah a sai dongah vaan kah a yung te tlai tih tuen.
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
9 A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih, a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
10 Te phoeiah vaan a koiloep tih, a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmuila pawk.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
11 Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae sola phoe.
He rode on a cherub, and flew; and he soared on the wings of the wind.
12 A kaepvai khohmuep neh khomong khomai dongkah tui tun te dungtlungim la a khueh.
He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
13 Amah hmaikah a aa loh a hmai-alh te a dom.
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
14 BOEIPA te vaan lamloh a kawk vaengah Khohni loh a ol a huel.
YHWH thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
15 Thaltang a kah tih amih te a taekyak phoeiah, amih te rhaek neh a khawkkhek la a khawkkhek.
And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
16 BOEIPA kah tluungnah neh a hiil dongkah a thintoek yilh loh lunglai kah yung hoep tih sokca tuipuei khaw tueng.
Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of YHWH, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui lamkah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
18 Kai ham tah tlung uh dae ka thunkha hlangtlung neh ka lunguet taeng lamkah kai n'huul.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19 Ka rhainah hnin ah kai m'mah uh cakhaw BOEIPA tah kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la om.
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but YHWH was my support.
20 Kai khuiah a naep dongah kai he hoengpoeknah la kai n'khuen tih n'pumcum sak.
He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thung tih, ka kut kah a cimcaihnah vanbangla kamah taengla ham mael coeng.
YHWH rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 BOEIPA kah longpuei te ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamloh ka poehlip van pawh.
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Amah kah laitloeknah boeih te tah a laitloeknah bangla ka hmaiah ka khueh tih a khosing lamloh ka phael pawh.
For all his ordinances were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
24 A hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih ka thaesainah lamkah khaw ka cue uh.
I was also perfect toward him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
25 A mikhmuh kah ka duengnah, ka cimcaihnah vanbangla BOEIPA loh ka taengah han thuung coeng.
Therefore YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
26 Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlangrhalh taengah na cungkuem coeng.
With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
27 Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih, voeldak te tah na hnueih.
With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
28 Pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih, na mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek te na hlak.
You save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
29 BOEIPA namah tah ka hmaithoi la na om tih, ka hmaisuep khaw BOEIPA loh a tue coeng.
For you light my lamp. YHWH my God lights up my darkness.
30 Namah nen tah caem khaw ka poeng tih, ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
31 Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih, BOEIPA kah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of YHWH is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
32 BOEIPA phoeikah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
For who is God, besides YHWH? Who is a rock, besides our God,
33 Ka lunghim Pathen tah ka thadueng la om tih, a longpuei te ka longpuei ham khangmai la a khueh.
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
34 Ka kho sayuk kho bangla a khueh tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
He makes my feet like those of a deer, and sets me on my high places.
35 Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
36 Namah kah daemnah photling te ka taengah nam paek tih, namah kah kodonah neh kai nan ping sak.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
37 Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
38 Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih, ka mitmoeng sak vaengah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
39 Amih te ka khah tih ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
And I consumed them, and struck them through, so that they did not rise. And they fell beneath my feet.
40 Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih, kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek te kai taengah a rhawn na duen sak tih, ka lunguet khaw ka biit.
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 BOEIPA taengah khaw pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih, amih te doo voel pawh.
They cry out, but there was none to save; even to YHWH, but he did not answer them.
43 Te dongah amih te diklai laipi bangla ka neet tih, long kah tangnong bangla ka tip sak phoeiah ka nulh.
Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
44 Ka pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah khaw kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan hloe dongah ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah thotat.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45 Kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh tih, a hna neh a yaak hamla ka ol a hnatun uh.
As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
46 Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih, a vongtung khui lamloh yingyet uh.
they are not bound in chains.
47 BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih, kai ham daemnah lungpang Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
YHWH lives. Blessed be my rock. Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
48 Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek tih, pilnam te kai kungdak la a suntlak sak.
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me,
49 Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan poh, kai aka tlai thil rhoek kah a sola kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You protect me from the violent man.
50 Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
Therefore I will praise you, YHWH, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
51 A manghai kah khangnah imsang tah len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah,” a ti.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever."
