For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2 Lok kamding katoeng tamoi to sin oh, cingceng to bop oh loe, laa hoiah pakoeh oh.
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 Khrah tarae moe, khrah amdueng nathuem ih poihkung ah, mongkah to ueng oh.
Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
4 Hae loe Jakob Sithaw zaehhoihaih lok, Israel han paek ih thuitaekhaih lok ah oh.
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Ka thaikop ai ih lok ka thaihaih, Izip prae hoiah a caeh naah, Joseph hanah to baktih lokthuihaih to a sak pae.
He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I did not know.
6 Anih palaeng nui ih kazit hmuen to ka takhoe pae moe, benthang thung hoiah a ban to ka zuh pae.
“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7 Raihaih na tongh naah, kang loisak; kamtueng ai khopazihaih ahmuen hoiah kang pathim; Meribah tuinawk nuiah nang to kang tanoek. (Selah)
You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” (Selah)
8 Aw kai ih kaminawk tahngai oh, lok kang thuih o han; Aw Israel, ka lok hae na tahngai o nahaeloe!
“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9 Nangcae khaeah kalah sithaw om mak ai; sithaw kalah doeh na bok o mak ai.
There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10 Kai loe Izip prae hoiah nangcae zaehoikung, Angraeng na Sithaw ah ka oh; pakha to kakawk ah aang oh, pakha koimongah kang paek o han.
I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Toe kai ih kaminawk loe ka lok tahngai o mak ai; Israel loe kai khaeah amha mak ai.
But my people did not listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
12 To pongah angmacae palungthahhaih baktih toengah ka prawt sut; nihcae loe angmacae koehhaih baktiah caeh o.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 Kai ih kami mah ka lok tahngaih o moe, Israel mah ka loklam to pazui nahaeloe!
Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 Nihcae ih misanawk to karangah ka kuepsak moe, a misanawk bangah ka ban ka paqoi han.
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 Angraeng hnuma kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah anih hmaa ah akuep o tih, nihcae danpaekhaih loe dungzan khoek to om tih boeh.
The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16 Anih mah kakhraem koek buh hoiah nihcae to pacah ueloe, cathaeng thung ih khoitui hoiah na zok kam hahsak han, tiah a thuih.
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
