< Saam 2 >

1 Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe palungphui o moe, kaminawk loe avang ai hmuen to poek o?
Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
2 Long siangpahrangnawk hoi ukkungnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, Angraeng hoi anih mah situi bawh tangcae kami ih lok to aek o,
Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
3 nihcae ih qui to taprawt pae pat si loe, nihcae ih sumqui doeh vaa pae o ving si, tiah a thuih o.
'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
4 Vannawk ah anghnu kami loe pahnui tih: Angraeng mah nihcae to pahnuithui tih.
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
5 To naah anih mah nihcae to palungphuihaih hoiah thuitaek ueloe, kana parai koeh koi kaom ai anghmang thok khosakhaih to phasak tih.
Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
6 Toe kaimah ih kaciim Zion mae nuiah, kaimah ih siangpahrang to kang hnutsak boeh, tiah anih mah thuih.
'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
7 Angraeng mah ang thuih ih lok to ka thuih han; nang loe ka Capa ni; nang loe vaihniah kang tapen boeh, tiah ang naa.
I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
8 Na hniah, to tih nahaeloe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to nang han qawk ah kang paek han, nihcae loe longboeng khoek to nang ih qawk ah om o tih.
Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
9 Nihcae to sumboeng hoiah na uk ueloe, long laom pakhoih phaeng baktih toengah, nihcae to na vaa phaeng tih.
Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
10 To pongah nangcae siangpahrangnawk, Palungha oh loe, long ukkungnawk thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai oh.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Zithaih palungthin hoiah Angraeng ih tok to sah oh loe, tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah anghoe oh.
Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Capa to mok oh, to tih ai nahaeloe Anih palungphui ueloe, nang loe loklam hoiah nang hmaa ving tih, anih loe palungphui cadoeh akra mak ai. Anih nuiah amha kaminawk boih loe tahamhoih o.
Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
