Saam 44
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Korah caanawk ih Maskil. Aw Sithaw, naa hoi ka thaih o boeh; canghnii ah, nang mah nihcae khaeah na sak pae ih tok to, kam panawk mah ang thuih o boeh.
For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which you wrought in their days, in the days of old.
2 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na ban hoiah na haek moe, kam panawk hanah to ahmuen to na paek; to kaminawk to na pacaekthlaek moe, kam panawk to na loisak.
Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and you did plant them: you did afflict the nations, and cast them out.
3 Nihcae mah to prae to sumsen hoiah pazawk o ai, angmacae bantha hoiah doeh pazawk o ai: toe nihcae to na palung pongah na bantang ban, na ban hoi na mikhmai aanghaih hoiah ni na pahlong.
For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you were well pleased in them.
4 Aw Sithaw, nang loe ka Siangpahrang ah na oh; Jakob pahlonghaih lok to paek ah.
You are indeed my King and my God, who command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Nang rang hoiah ka misanawk to hnuk kang nawn o sak moe, nangmah ih ahmin hoiah nihcae to ka tit o han.
In you will we push down our enemies, and in your name will we bring to nothing them that rise up against us.
6 Kaimah ih kalii hae kang oep haih mak ai, ka sumsen mah doeh na pahlong mak ai.
For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.
7 Toe kai hnuma kaminawk to na zatsak moe, kaicae to misanawk ban thung hoiah nang pahlong.
For you have saved us from them that afflicted us, and have put to shame them that hated us.
8 Kaicae loe athun qui Sithaw ah ni kam oek o, na hmin to dungzan khoek to ka saphaw o. (Selah)
In God will we make our boast all the day, and to your name will we give thanks for ever. (Pause)
9 Toe vaihi loe nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, azat nang pawsak boeh; kaicae ih misatuh kaminawk hoi doeh nawnto na caeh ai boeh.
But now you have cast off, and put us to shame; and you will not go forth with our hosts.
10 Kaicae hae misa khae hoiah nam laemsak let: kaicae hnuma kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah amro o.
You have turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.
11 Moicaak han suek ih tuu baktiah nang prawt sut boeh moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah nang haehsak phang.
You made us as sheep for meat; and you scattered us among the nations.
12 Nangmah ih kaminawk to atho kazoi ah na zawh, toe nihcae zawhhaih atho mah nang ih hmuenmae to pung kue mak ai.
You have sold your people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.
13 Ka imtaeng ih kaminawk mah kasaethuih han kahoih ah nang sak, ka imtaeng kaminawk mah kasaethuihaih hoi pahnuithuihaih to nang phawsak.
You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision them that are round about us.
14 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah patahhaih lok ah na thuih moe, minawk salakah lu haek thuih hanah nang sak.
You have made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations.
15 Na hmaa ah ni thokkruek ahmin ka set moe, ka mikhmai hae azathaih mah khuk khoep boeh,
All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
16 kasaethuih koeh kami hoi ahmin setsak koeh kami, lulak koeh kami hoi misanawk pongah ni, to tiah ka oh.
because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.
17 Hae hmuennawk boih kaicae nuiah phak; toe nang kang pahnet o ai, lok na maihaih doeh ka phrae o ai.
All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten you, neither have we dealt unrighteously in your covenant.
18 Kaicae ih palungthin loe hnuk bangah amlaem ai moe, kaicae ih khoknawk doeh na loklam hoiah amkhraeng ai;
And our heart has not gone back; but you have turned aside our paths from your way.
19 toe tasuinawk ohhaih salakah nang tit moe, duekhaih tahlip hoiah nang kraeng khoep.
For you have laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
20 Kaicae mah Sithaw ih ahmin ka pahnet o moe, prae kalah sithaw khaeah ban ka payangh o cadoeh,
If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; shall not God search these things out?
21 Sithaw loe palung thungah tamquta hoi poek ih hmuen to panoek pongah anih mah hnu mak ai maw?
for he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Ue, nang pongah athun qui duekhaih ka tong o; hum han ih tuu baktiah ang poek o.
For, for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.
23 Aw Angraeng, anglawt lai ah, tipongah na iih loe? Angthawk ah, kaicae hae dungzan khoek to na haek hmah.
Awake, therefore sleep you, O Lord? arise, and do not cast [us] off for ever.
24 Tipongah mikhmai na hawk ving moe, kaicae raihaih hoi patangkhanghaih to nang pahnet pae ving loe?
Therefore turn you your face away, [and] forget our poverty and our affliction?
25 Kaicae hinghaih loe maiphu thungah krak tathuk boeh moe, kaicae ih zok doeh long ah angbet caeng boeh.
For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.
26 Kaicae abomh han angthawk ah loe, na palungnathaih hoiah kaicae hae na krang ah.
Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for your name's sake.
