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?
Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Canghnii hoiah na qan ih kaminawk, na qawktoep acaengnawk hoi na ohhaih Zion mae to poek ah.
Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Kaciim ahmuen to misanawk mah paro o boih boeh pongah, dungzan ah kamro ahmuen ah na khok to paqoi lai ah.
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Na misanawk loe nangmah ih kaminawk salakah hang o; nihcae loe angmacae angmathaih kahni to payang o.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
5 Nihcae loe caka hoi tu thung ih thing pakhruh kaminawk baktiah oh o.
[A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 Toe vaihi loe sak ih hmuennawk to caki hoi cakanawk hoiah a saek o boih boeh.
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
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 cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
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 said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
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 see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
10 Aw Sithaw, nasetto maw misa mah kasaethui vop tih? Misa mah na hmin kasae thui poe tih maw?
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Tipongah na ban, na bantang ban to na zuh let loe? Na saoek thung hoiah pathok ah.
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom.
12 Sithaw loe canghnii hoiah ni kai ih siangpahrang ah oh boeh; anih mah ni long nuiah pahlonghaih to sak.
For God [is] my King of old, working 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.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Leviathan ih lunawk to na koihsak phaeng moe, praezaek ah kaom kaminawk hanah buh ah na paek.
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Nangmah ni tuibap tui hoi vacong tuinawk to na longsak; vapui tuinawk doeh na kaangsak.
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst 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] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Nangmah ni long angzithaih ramrinawk to na sak moe, nipui hoi siktue doeh na sak.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Aw Angraeng, misa mah kasaethuihaih to poek ah; kamthunawk mah loe na hmin to patoek o.
Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 Nangmah ih pahuu tuinom hinghaih to kasae kaminawk khaeah paek hmah; nangmah ih amtang kaminawk to dungzan khoek to pahnet hmah.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude [of the wicked: ] forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20 Lokkamhaih to poek ah; long khoving ahmuennawk loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah koi.
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 Patangkhang kaminawk to palung boengsak hmah; kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk mah na hmin to saphaw o nasoe.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy 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 thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23 Na misanawk ih lok to pahnet hmah; na misanawk hanghaih lok loe pop aep aep boeh.
Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
