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