Saam 74
1 Asaph ih maskil. Aw Sithaw, tipongah dungzan khoek to nang pahnawt loe? Tipongah nangmah ih caphoih ahmuen ah kapra tuunawk nuiah palung na phui loe?
[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Therefore have you rejected [us], O God, for ever? [therefore] is your wrath kindled against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Canghnii hoiah na qan ih kaminawk, na qawktoep acaengnawk hoi na ohhaih Zion mae to poek ah.
Remember your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.
3 Kaciim ahmuen to misanawk mah paro o boih boeh pongah, dungzan ah kamro ahmuen ah na khok to paqoi lai ah.
Lift up your hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places.
4 Na misanawk loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah hang o; nihcae loe angmacae angmathaih kahni to payang o.
And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
5 Nihcae loe caka hoi tu thung ih thing pakhruh kaminawk baktiah oh o.
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6 Toe vaihi loe sak ih hmuennawk to caki hoi cakanawk hoiah a saek o boih boeh.
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7 Na hmuenciim to hmai hoiah a thlaek o boeh; na hmin ohhaih ahmuen doeh long ah vah o moe, panuet thok ah a sak o boeh.
They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.
8 Nihcae mah, Hae kaminawk hae paduek boih si, tiah thuih o moe, prae thung ih Sithaw bokhaih ahmuennawk to hmai hoiah thlaek o boih boeh.
They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9 Kaicae loe kaimacae angmathaih tidoeh ka hnu o ai; tahmaanawk doeh om o ai boeh; nasetto maw hae tiah om vop tih, tiah panoek kami kaicae thungah mi doeh om ai.
We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.
10 Aw Sithaw, nasetto maw misa mah kasaethui vop tih? Misa mah na hmin kasae thui poe tih maw?
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever?
11 Tipongah na ban, na bantang ban to na zuh let loe? Na saoek thung hoiah pathok ah.
Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?
12 Sithaw loe canghnii hoiah ni kai ih siangpahrang ah oh boeh; anih mah ni long nuiah pahlonghaih to sak.
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Na thacakhaih hoiah tuipui to na pakhoih; tuipuinawk thung ih pahui puinawk ih lu to na khaeh.
You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.
14 Leviathan ih lunawk to na koihsak phaeng moe, praezaek ah kaom kaminawk hanah buh ah na paek.
You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations.
15 Nangmah ni tuibap tui hoi vacong tuinawk to na longsak; vapui tuinawk doeh na kaangsak.
You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.
16 Khodai loe nang ih ni, khoving doeh nang ih ni; nangmah ni ni hoi aanghaih to na sak.
The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.
17 Nangmah ni long angzithaih ramrinawk to na sak moe, nipui hoi siktue doeh na sak.
You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.
18 Aw Angraeng, misa mah kasaethuihaih to poek ah; kamthunawk mah loe na hmin to patoek o.
Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.
19 Nangmah ih pahuu tuinom hinghaih to kasae kaminawk khaeah paek hmah; nangmah ih amtang kaminawk to dungzan khoek to pahnet hmah.
Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor.
20 Lokkamhaih to poek ah; long khoving ahmuennawk loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah koi.
Look upon your covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
21 Patangkhang kaminawk to palung boengsak hmah; kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk mah na hmin to saphaw o nasoe.
let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name.
22 Aw Sithaw, angthawk tahang ah loe, na sak ih hmuen to pakaa ah; kawbangmaw kamthunawk mah nang sethaih kawng ni thokkruek thuih o, tito panoek ah.
Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
23 Na misanawk ih lok to pahnet hmah; na misanawk hanghaih lok loe pop aep aep boeh.
Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
