Saam 81
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Gittih ah sak koi Asaph ih Saam laa. Aicae thacakhaih Sithaw khaeah hanghaih hoiah laa to sah oh; Jakob Sithaw khaeah anghoehaih hoiah hang oh.
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2 Lok kamding katoeng tamoi to sin oh, cingceng to bop oh loe, laa hoiah pakoeh oh.
Take a psalm, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 Khrah tarae moe, khrah amdueng nathuem ih poihkung ah, mongkah to ueng oh.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 Hae loe Jakob Sithaw zaehhoihaih lok, Israel han paek ih thuitaekhaih lok ah oh.
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law 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.
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
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 delivered from the pots.
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 proved 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, O my people, and I will testify unto you: O Israel, if you will hearken unto me;
9 Nangcae khaeah kalah sithaw om mak ai; sithaw kalah doeh na bok o mak ai.
There shall no strange god be in you; neither shall you worship any strange 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, which brought you 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 would not hearken to my voice; and Israel refused me.
12 To pongah angmacae palungthahhaih baktih toengah ka prawt sut; nihcae loe angmacae koehhaih baktiah caeh o.
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked 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 had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 Nihcae ih misanawk to karangah ka kuepsak moe, a misanawk bangah ka ban ka paqoi han.
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned 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 should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 Anih mah kakhraem koek buh hoiah nihcae to pacah ueloe, cathaeng thung ih khoitui hoiah na zok kam hahsak han, tiah a thuih.
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied you.
