2 Samuel 22
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Angraeng mah David to angmah ih misanawk hoi Saul ih ban thung hoiah loisak naah, hae tiah laa loknawk to a thuih,
1And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
2anih mah, Angraeng loe ka lungsong, kang hawkhaih hoi kai pahlongkung ah oh;
2and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3Sithaw loe ka lungsong ah oh moe, kang hawkhaih ah oh; anih loe ka phaw hoi pahlonghaih takii ah oh. Kai ih sipae, kang hawkhaih hoi pahlongkung ah oh moe, athii palong koeh kasae kaminawk ban thung hoiah nang pahlong.
3The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
4Pakoeh han kamcuk, Angraeng to ka kawk naah, ka misanawk salak hoiah pahlong ah ka oh.
4Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
5Duekhaih tuiphu mah ang takui naah, amrohaih kalen tui mah ang khuk moe, ang pazih.
5For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
6Hell qui mah angzaeng caeng moe, duekhaih thaang mah ang pakaa khoep.
6The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.
7Palungboeng naah Angraeng to ka kawk; ka Sithaw to ka kawk; anih mah angmah ih tempul imthung hoiah ka lok to ang tahgaih pae, ka qahhaih lok anih ih naa thungah akun.
7In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
8Anih palungphui pongah, long loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh; van ohhaih ahmuennawk doeh anghuen moe, angthuih o.
8Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
9Anih ih hnahkhaw thung hoiah hmaikhue to tacawt moe, anih ih pakha hoiah hmaipalai to tacawt pongah, hmaisaae to amngaeh.
9Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
10Vannawk to takoih moe, angzoh tathuk; a khok tlim ah vinghaih to oh.
10He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
11Cehrubim pongah angthueng moe, azawk; anih loe takhi pakhraeh nuiah amtueng.
11And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12Anih taengah vinghaih to suek moe, tui kaving, van ih kathah tamai hoiah a khuk.
12And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13Anih hmaa ah kaom aanghaih mah, hmaisaae to amngaehsak.
13At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
14Angraeng mah van ah khopazihsak moe, ranui koek ah lok to amsongsak.
14The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
15Kaliinawk to kah moe, tangphra to pueksak pongah, a misanawk to anghaehsak phaeng.
15And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16Sithaw mah thuitaek pongah, a hnah thung ih takhi hoiah tuipui longhaih ahmuen hoiah long ohhaih ahmuen to amtuengsak.
16And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17Ranui bang hoiah ban to payangh moe, kathuk tui thung hoiah kai ang talawk.
17He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
18Kai hnuma moe, kai hanah thacak parai misanawk ih ban thung hoiah kai ang pahlong.
18He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
19Raihaih ka tongh na niah nihcae mah ang pakaa; toe Angraeng loe kam haahaih ah oh.
19They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
20Kai to kalen parai ahmuen ah ang suek; kai palung pongah, ang pahlong.
20He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
21Ka toenghaih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah tangqum ang paek; ka ban ciimhaih baktih toengah, kai hanah tangqum ang paek.
21The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
22Angraeng ih loklam to ka pazui; kahoih ai hmuen sak hanah, ka Sithaw to kang qoi taak ai.
22For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23A thuitaekhaih loknawk loe ka hmaa ah oh, a paek ih loknawk to kang qoi taak ai.
23For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
24A hmaa ah toenghaih hoiah ka oh moe, zaehaih to ka yae.
24And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
25To pongah Angraeng mah ka toenghaih hoi a mikhnukah ka ciimcaihaih baktih toengah, tangqum to ang paek boeh.
25Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
26Tahmenhaih tawn kami khaeah tahmenhaih, katoeng kami khaeah na toenghaih to nam tuengsak.
26With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
27Ciimcai kaminawk khaeah ciimcaihaih, lokaek thaih kaminawk khaeah sethaih to nam tuengsak.
27With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
28Patangkhang kaminawk to na pahlong; toe amoek kaminawk loe atlim ah na pakhrak tathuk.
28And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
29Nang loe kai ih hmaithaw ah na oh; Aw Angraeng; Angraeng mah kai khovinghaih to khodai ah angcoengsak.
29For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
30Nang oephaih rang hoiah misatuh kaminawk to ka patoeh moe, ka Sithaw rang hoiah sipae to ka poeng thaih.
30For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
31Sithaw ih loklam loe akoep; Angraeng ih lok loe coek koi om ai; a nuiah amha kaminawk hanah anih loe aphaw ah oh.
31As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
32Angraeng pacoengah, mi maw Sithaw ah kaom vop?
32For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
33Sithaw loe ka thacakhaih hoi tharahhaih ah oh; anih mah ka loklam to akoepsak.
33The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
34Ka khok hae tasuk khok baktiah ang sak pae moe, hmuensang ah ang suek.
34Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
35Misatuk thaih hanah ka ban hae patuk pongah, ka ban mah sum kalii to khaeh thaih.
35Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
36Pazawkhaih aphaw to nang paek moe, poeknaemhaih hoiah nang lensak.
36Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
37Ka hmaa ih loklam to na kawksak pongah, ka khok hae amkhraeng ai.
37Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
38Ka misanawk to patom moe, ka hum; nihcae ka paro ai karoek to kam laem let ai.
38I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
39Nihcae loe ahmaa caak o moe, ka tamit boih; angthawk o thai ai boeh; ue, ka khok tlim ah amtim o boih.
39And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40Misatuk hanah thacakhaih hoiah nang zaeng moe, kai tuk hanah misa angthawk kaminawk to ka khokkung ah na kuepsak.
40For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41Kai hnuma kaminawk ka hum thai hanah, nihcae ih tahnong to kai han nang paek.
41Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
42Nihcae loe khet o, toe pahlongkung maeto doeh om ai; Angraeng khaeah a hang o; toe anih mah pathim pae ai.
42They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
43Nihcae to long ih maiphu baktiah ka boh; loklam ih tangkrok baktiah ka cawh moe, ka haeh phaeng.
43Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
44Kai ih kami tuh kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah nang pahlong moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih lu ah nang ohsak; ka panoek vai ai ih kaminawk mah ka tok ang sak pae o.
44Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
45Prae kalah kaminawk loe kai khaeah akun o, ka lok thaih o naah, ka lok to tahngaih o.
45The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46Prae kalah kaminawk loe thazok o sut pongah, tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh o moe, angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah tacawt o.
46The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
47Angraeng loe hing; ka lungsong loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe! Sithaw, ka pahlonghaih lungsong loe, pakoehhaih om nasoe.
47The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
48Anih loe kai taham lu lakung Sithaw ah oh moe, kaminawk to ka khok tlim ah a suek.
48Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
49Anih mah ka misanawk khae hoiah ang loisak; ka misanawk nuiah nang thuengh tahang moe, hmawhsaeng kaminawk ban thung hoiah nang pahlong.
49And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
50To pongah Aw Angraeng, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah, nang khaeah anghoehaih lok to ka thuih, na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
50Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
51Anih loe angmah ih siangpahrang hanah pahlonghaih imsang ah oh; situi hoi bawh ih David hoi anih ih caanawk khaeah, tahmenhaih dungzan khoek to amtuengsak, tiah laa a sak.
51A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
