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 Korahites. Great is the Lord and worthy all praise 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.
that rises so fair, is the joy of all the world. Like the mount of the gods is Mount Zion, the city of the great king.
3 Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.
4 Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.
5 Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.
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, like the pains of a woman in labor.
7 ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.
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)
What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. (Selah)
9 Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
We think, O God, of your love, in the midst of your 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.
Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.
11 Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
12 Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
Walk about Zion, go round her; count her towers.
13 angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
Set your mind on her ramparts, consider her palaces; that you tell to the next generation
14 Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
That such is God, our God he it is who shall guide us for ever and ever.
