Saam 79
1 Asaph ih Saam m laa. Aw Sithaw, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe nang ih qawktoep kaminawk khaeah caeh o; kaciim na tempul to amhnong o sak boeh moe, Jerusalem to amro o sak boeh.
A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
2 Na tamnanawk ih qok to van ih tavaanawk hanah rawkcak ah paek o; nangmah ih kaciim kaminawk ih angan loe long ah kaom moinawk hanah buh ah paek o.
They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3 Nihcae ih athiinawk loe tui baktiah Jerusalem taeng boih ah kraih o; nihcae aphum hanah kami mi doeh om ai.
They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
4 Kaicae loe imtaeng kaminawk kasaethuih han koi ah ni ka oh o moe, kaicae taengah kaom kaminawk ih tamhnui tabu ah ni ka oh o boeh.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
5 Angraeng, nasetto maw? Dungzan khoek to palung nang phui thuih han boeh maw? Palung na phuihaih hmai baktiah kangh tih boeh maw?
How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Nang panoek ai kaminawk nuiah palung na phuihaih to krai ah loe, na hmin kawk ai praenawk nuiah palung na phuihaih to krai ah.
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,
7 Tipongah tih nahaeloe nihcae mah Jakob to caak o moe, a ohhaih ahmuennawk doeh phraek pae o boih boeh.
for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.
8 Canghnii ah sak ih zaehaihnawk to kaicae khaeah palai hanah poek hmah; kaicae loe poek pahnaemhaih hoiah ka oh o baktih toengah, na palungnathaih mah kaicae hae karangah pakaa nasoe.
Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.
9 Aw Sithaw kaicae pahlongkung, na hmin pakoeh hanah na bom ah; na hmin pongah, na krang ah loe kaicae zaehaihnawk to pasae ah.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.
10 Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah, Nihcae ih Sithaw loe naah maw oh, tiah thuih o loe? Na tamnanawk ih athii tho lu na lakhaih to, kaicae hmaa ah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah hnu o nasoe.
Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.
11 Thongkrah kaminawk hanghaih lok to na hmaa ah pha nasoe; paduek hanah suek ih kaminawk to na ban thacakhaih hoiah loisak ah.
May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.
12 Na sethaih kathui ka imtaeng kaminawk ih saoek nuiah, kasae a thuih o haih atho alet sarihto ah, Angraeng nang mah pathok ah.
Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.
13 To pongah nangmah ih kami kaicae hoi nangmah ih caphoih kahing saihaih ahmuen ih na tuunawk mah nang to dungzan khoek to saphaw o tih boeh; hmabang angzo han koi caanawk boih khaeah nang saphawhaih to kam tueng o sak han.
Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.
