Saam 115
1 Kaicae khaeah na ai, Aw Angraeng, kaicae khaeah na ai, na palungnathaih hoi na loktang lok pongah, na hmin lensawkhaih to om nasoe.
Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.
2 Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Nihcae ih Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh tiah thuih o loe?
Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
3 Aicae ih Sithaw loe van ah oh; anih loe a koeh baktiah hmuennawk to sak.
When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
4 Nihcae ih krang loe kami ban hoiah sak ih sumkanglung hoi sui ah ni oh.
Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —
5 Nihcae loe pakha tawnh o, toe lok apae o thai ai; mik a tawnh o, toe hnu o thai ai;
A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
6 naa a tawnh o, toe thaih o thai ai, hnah doeh a tawnh o, toe ahmui thaih o thai ai;
Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:
7 ban a tawnh o, toe sui o thai ai; khok a tawnh o, toe caeh o thai ai; taaw hoiah lokthui o thai ai.
Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.
8 Krang sah kaminawk loe krang hoiah anghmong o, krang oephaih tawn kaminawk doeh krang baktiah ni oh o.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
9 Aw Israel imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep ah; anih loe nangcae bomkung hoi angvaenghaih ah oh.
O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
10 Aaron imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep oh, anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
11 Anih zii kaminawk, Angraeng to oep oh; anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
12 Angraeng mah aicae pahnet mak ai; aicae hanah angmah ih tahamhoihaih to paek tih: Israel imthung takoh to tahamhoihaih paek ueloe, Aaron imthung takoh doeh tahamhoihhaih paek tih.
Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;
13 Kathoeng doeh kalen doeh, Angraeng zii kaminawk loe anih mah tahamhoihaih to paek tih.
He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
14 Angraeng mah nangmah hoi na caanawk to pungsak aep nasoe.
Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
15 Van hoi long sahkung Angraeng mah tahamhoihhaih paek nasoe.
Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
16 Van hoi vannawk loe Angraeng ih ni; toe long loe kaminawk khaeah a paek boeh.
As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.
17 Angqai krang ahmuen ah caeh tathuk, kadueh kaminawk loe Angraeng to saphaw o vai ai.
The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
18 Toe kaicae loe vaihi hoi dungzan khoek to Angraeng tahamhoihaih ka paek o han. Angraeng to saphaw oh.
But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
