Saam 50
1 Asap ih Saam laa. Thacak, Angraeng Sithaw mah, ni tacawt hoi niduem khoek to, long to kawk moe, lok a thuih pae.
“A psalm of Asaph.” The mighty God, Jehovah, speaketh, and calleth the earth, From the rising of the sun to its going down.
2 Coek koi om ai kranghoih, Zion mae hoiah, Sithaw aanghaih to tacawt.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shineth forth.
3 Aicae ih Sithaw angzo tih, anih loe omduem mak ai: Anih hmaa ah hmai angqong ueloe, takhi pui mah anih to takui khoep tih.
Our God cometh, and will not be silent; Before him is a devouring fire, And around him a raging tempest.
4 Angmah ih kaminawk lokcaek hanah, ranui ih vannawk hoiah long to a kawk.
He calleth to the heavens on high, And to the earth, while he judgeth his people:
5 Angbawnhaih hoiah kai hoi lokmaihaih sah kaminawk loe, kaimah ih kaciim kaminawk hoi nawnto pakhueng han, tiah a thuih.
“Gather together before me my godly ones, Who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6 Sithaw loe toeng pongah, vannawk mah a toenghaih to taphong o tih. (Selah)
(And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, For it is God himself that is judge., Pause)
7 Aw kai ih kaminawk, tahngai oh, lok ka thuih han; aw Israel, na nuiah ka koeh ai ih hmuen to kang thuih han: kai loe Sithaw, na Sithaw ah ka oh.
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak! O Israel, and I will testify against thee! For I am God, thine own God.
8 Ka hmaa ah na sak o toepsoep ih, angbawnhaih, hmai angbawnhaih pongah, kang zoeh o mak ai.
I reprove thee not on account of thy sacrifices; For thy burnt-offerings are ever before me.
9 Na im thung hoiah maitaw tae, na takha thung hoiah maeh taenawk doeh, ka la mak ai.
I will take no bullock from thy house, Nor he-goat from thy folds;
10 Taw thung ih moi hoi mae sangto nuiah kapra moinawk boih loe kai ih ni.
For all the beasts of the forest are mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 Maenawk nuiah kaom tavaanawk to ka panoek boih: prae thung ih kasan moinawk boih loe kai ih ni.
I know all the birds of the mountains, And the wild beasts of the field are before me.
12 Zok kam thlam cadoeh, kang thui mak ai: tipongah tih nahaeloe long hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe kai ih ni.
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and all that is therein.
13 Maitaw tae moi to ka cak moe, maeh thii to ka naek han maw?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?
14 Sithaw khaeah anghoe angbawnhaih to sah ah; Sang koek khaeah na sak ih lokmaihaih to koepsak ah:
Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay thy vows to the Most High!
15 raihaih tongh na niah na kawk ah: kang loisak han, to naah loe kai nang pakoeh tih.
Then call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me!”
16 Toe kasae kami khaeah loe, Ka paek ih lok to na taphong moe, ka sak ih lokmaihaih pazui han angaih maw? tiah Sithaw mah thuih.
And to the wicked God saith, “To what purpose dost thou talk of my statutes? And why hast thou my laws upon thy lips?—
17 Thuitaekhaih to na hnukma moe, ka loknawk to hnukbang ah na vah ving boeh.
Thou, who hatest instruction And castest my words behind thee!
18 Kamqu na hnuk naah, anih to na bomh, zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah kaminawk hoiah nam yok.
When thou seest a thief, thou art in friendship with him, And hast fellowship with adulterers.
19 Loksae thuih hanah pakha to na patoh moe, na palai to alinghaih hoiah na zaeng.
Thou lettest loose thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit;
20 Nang hnut moe, boeng ai ah nam nawkamyanawk to kasae na thuih, nam no ih caa khaeh mataeng doeh kasae na thuih.
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 Hae baktih hmuennawk boih hae na sak, toe kang oh taak duem pongah, nang baktiah ka oh toeng mue, tiah na poek: toe kang thuitaek han, na hmaa roe ah na zaehaih kam tuengsak han.
These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Hence thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thine eyes.
22 Sithaw pahnet kaminawk, hae hae panoek oh, to tiah ai nahaeloe nangcae pahlongkung om ai ah, kang taprawt o pat han.
Mark this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and none deliver you!
23 Anghoe angbawnhaih sah kami loe kai pakoeh kami ah oh, coek koi om ai ah ka thuih ih lok pazui kami hanah Sithaw pahlonghaih ka hnuksak han.
Whoso offereth praise honoreth me; And to him who hath regard to his ways Will I show salvation from God.”
