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 psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week. Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Aluek bangah kaom, lensawk Siangpahrang ih vangpui, long boih anghoehaih Zion mae loe, kranghoih parai.
With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3 Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.
4 Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.
5 Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:
6 Nihcae loe to ahmuen ah zithaih hoiah oh o, nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, pauep o,
Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.
7 ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
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 have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.
9 Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Na hmin amthang baktih toengah, aw Sithaw, nang saphawhaih loe long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh; na bantang ban loe toenghaih hoiah koi.
According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.
11 Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.
12 Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.
13 angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
14 Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
