Saam 48
1 Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe lensawk pongah, ciimcai Angmah ih mae hoi aicae Sithaw ih vangpui ah lensawkhaih hoiah pakoeh han oh.
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2 Aluek bangah kaom, lensawk Siangpahrang ih vangpui, long boih anghoehaih Zion mae loe, kranghoih parai.
Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
3 Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
4 Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
5 Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Nihcae loe to ahmuen ah zithaih hoiah oh o, nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, pauep o,
Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
7 ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
8 Aicae mah a thaih o ih baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw ih vangpui hoi misatuh Angraeng ih vangpui thungah, a hnuk o boeh; to ahmuen loe Sithaw mah dungzan khoek to caksak tih. (Selah)
As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.
9 Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
10 Na hmin amthang baktih toengah, aw Sithaw, nang saphawhaih loe long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh; na bantang ban loe toenghaih hoiah koi.
Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
12 Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
13 angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
14 Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
