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 to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Nihcae ih Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh tiah thuih o loe?
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”
3 Aicae ih Sithaw loe van ah oh; anih loe a koeh baktiah hmuennawk to sak.
But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Nihcae ih krang loe kami ban hoiah sak ih sumkanglung hoi sui ah ni oh.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 Nihcae loe pakha tawnh o, toe lok apae o thai ai; mik a tawnh o, toe hnu o thai ai;
They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6 naa a tawnh o, toe thaih o thai ai, hnah doeh a tawnh o, toe ahmui thaih o thai ai;
They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.
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.
They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Krang sah kaminawk loe krang hoiah anghmong o, krang oephaih tawn kaminawk doeh krang baktiah ni oh o.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9 Aw Israel imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep ah; anih loe nangcae bomkung hoi angvaenghaih ah oh.
Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
10 Aaron imthung takoh, Angraeng to oep oh, anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
11 Anih zii kaminawk, Angraeng to oep oh; anih loe nihcae bomkung hoi abuephaih ah oh.
You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
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 remembers us. He will bless us. 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 those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
14 Angraeng mah nangmah hoi na caanawk to pungsak aep nasoe.
May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Van hoi long sahkung Angraeng mah tahamhoihhaih paek nasoe.
Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 Van hoi vannawk loe Angraeng ih ni; toe long loe kaminawk khaeah a paek boeh.
The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17 Angqai krang ahmuen ah caeh tathuk, kadueh kaminawk loe Angraeng to saphaw o vai ai.
The dead don’t praise Yah, nor any who 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 this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!
