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. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
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 Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto 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 shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with 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 taunt 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, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy 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 Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy 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 waste his habitation.
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 against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very 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 sake of the glory of Thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy 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.
Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?' Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.
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 prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed 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.
And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, 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.
So we that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever; we will tell of Thy praise to all generations.
