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 for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
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 dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild 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 shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
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 are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about 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 for ever? shall 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 upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon 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 laid his place waste.
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.
Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
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 our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
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.
Lets haply they should say amongst the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known amongst the heathen before our eyes.
11 Thongkrah kaminawk hanghaih lok to na hmaa ah pha nasoe; paduek hanah suek ih kaminawk to na ban thacakhaih hoiah loisak ah.
Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
12 Na sethaih kathui ka imtaeng kaminawk ih saoek nuiah, kasae a thuih o haih atho alet sarihto ah, Angraeng nang mah pathok ah.
Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached 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.
For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
