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 God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
2 Coek koi om ai kranghoih, Zion mae hoiah, Sithaw aanghaih to tacawt.
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
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 is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
4 Angmah ih kaminawk lokcaek hanah, ranui ih vannawk hoiah long to a kawk.
He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
5 Angbawnhaih hoiah kai hoi lokmaihaih sah kaminawk loe, kaimah ih kaciim kaminawk hoi nawnto pakhueng han, tiah a thuih.
Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6 Sithaw loe toeng pongah, vannawk mah a toenghaih to taphong o tih. (Selah)
And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. (Selah)
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 speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
8 Ka hmaa ah na sak o toepsoep ih, angbawnhaih, hmai angbawnhaih pongah, kang zoeh o mak ai.
Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
9 Na im thung hoiah maitaw tae, na takha thung hoiah maeh taenawk doeh, ka la mak ai.
I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
10 Taw thung ih moi hoi mae sangto nuiah kapra moinawk boih loe kai ih ni.
For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
11 Maenawk nuiah kaom tavaanawk to ka panoek boih: prae thung ih kasan moinawk boih loe kai ih ni.
I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with 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 am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
13 Maitaw tae moi to ka cak moe, maeh thii to ka naek han maw?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
14 Sithaw khaeah anghoe angbawnhaih to sah ah; Sang koek khaeah na sak ih lokmaihaih to koepsak ah:
Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
15 raihaih tongh na niah na kawk ah: kang loisak han, to naah loe kai nang pakoeh tih.
And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest 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 hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
17 Thuitaekhaih to na hnukma moe, ka loknawk to hnukbang ah na vah ving boeh.
Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast 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.
If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
19 Loksae thuih hanah pakha to na patoh moe, na palai to alinghaih hoiah na zaeng.
Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
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, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
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 thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array 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.
Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
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.
He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
