Saam 66
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Saam laa. Long boih, anghoehaih hoi Sithaw khaeah hang oh!
To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
2 Anih ih ahmin lensawkhaih laa to sah oh loe, lensawk parai ah pakoeh oh!
Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
3 Sithaw khaeah, na sak ih hmuennawk loe kawkkruk maw dawnrai han oh! Na misanawk loe kalen parai na thacakhaih hoiah na hmaa ah tabok o tih, tiah thui oh.
Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
4 Longnawk boih mah nang to bok o ueloe, nang saphawhaih laa to sah o tih; na hmin saphawhaih laa to sah o tih. (Selah)
Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah)
5 Angzo oh loe, Sithaw mah sak ih hmuennawk to khen oh; kaminawk salakah a sak ih hmuennawk loe anghmang han koi oh.
Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
6 Anih mah tuipui to saoeng ah angcoengsak; to naah kaminawk loe tui ohhaih ahmuen ah khok hoiah caeh o, kaicae loe anih ah anghoehaih ka tawnh o.
The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
7 Anih mah a thacakhaih hoiah dungzan khoek to uk; a mik hoiah kaminawk boih to khet; misa koeh kaminawk loe amoek o hmah nasoe. (Selah)
He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah)
8 Aw kaminawk boih, kaicae ih Sithaw hae tahamhoihaih paek oh; kangthaih ah anih to saphaw oh;
Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
9 Anih mah aicae hinghaih to patawnh moe, aicae ih khok doeh amthaeksak ai.
Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
10 Aw Sithaw, kaicae hae nang tanoek boeh; sumkanglung to hmai hoiah pakaw ih baktiah, kaicae hae nang tanoek boeh.
For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
11 Palok pongah nang mansak moe, hmuenzit nang phawhsak.
You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
12 Kaicae lu nuiah kaminawk to nang thuengsak; hmai hoiah tui thungah ka caeh o; toe angraenghaih ahmuen ah nang hoih.
You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
13 Kai loe hmai angbawnhaih hoiah na im ah ka caeh han; nang khaeah ka sak ih lokmaihaih baktiah ka ohsak han,
I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
14 raihaih ka tongh naah, ka pahni mah to tiah lokkamhaih to sak moe, ka pakha mah lok a thuih.
Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
15 Kathawk moi hoiah nang khaeah hmai angbawnhaih ka sak moe, hmuihoih ah tuunawk to kang paek han; maitaw taenawk hoi maeh taenawk doeh kang paek han. (Selah)
I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah)
16 Nangcae, Sithaw zii kaminawk, angzo oh loe tahngai oh; ka hinghaih nuiah anih mah sak ih hmuen kawng to kang thuih o han.
Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
17 Ka pakha hoiah anih khaeah ka hang moe, ka palai hoiah anih to ka pakoeh boeh.
My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
18 Palung thungah zaehaih ka suek poe nahaeloe, Angraeng mah ka lok hae tahngai mak ai;
I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
19 toe Sithaw mah ka lok ang tahngai pae tangtang; lawk ka thuihaih lok to ang tahngaih pae.
But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
20 Lawk ka thuihaih anghmasak ai, ka nuiah suek ih a palungnathaih to apet ai, Sithaw khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe!
Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
