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.
“For the leader of the music. On the Gittith. A psalm of Asaph.” Sing joyfully to God, our strength! Shout with gladness 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 strike the timbrel, The sweet-sounding harp, and the psaltery!
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, also, on our festal day!
4 Hae loe Jakob Sithaw zaehhoihaih lok, Israel han paek ih thuitaekhaih lok ah oh.
For this is a statute for Israel, 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.
He appointed it as a memorial in Joseph, When he went out of the land of Egypt, Where he heard a language which he knew not.
6 Anih palaeng nui ih kazit hmuen to ka takhoe pae moe, benthang thung hoiah a ban to ka zuh pae.
“I relieved [[said he]] thy shoulders from their burden; Thy hands were removed from the hod.
7 Raihaih na tongh naah, kang loisak; kamtueng ai khopazihaih ahmuen hoiah kang pathim; Meribah tuinawk nuiah nang to kang tanoek. (Selah)
Thou didst call in trouble, and I delivered thee; In the secret place of thunder I answered thee; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Pause)
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 admonish thee! O Israel! that thou wouldst hearken to me!
9 Nangcae khaeah kalah sithaw om mak ai; sithaw kalah doeh na bok o mak ai.
Let there be no strange god within thee, Nor worship thou 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 Jehovah am thy God, Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open wide thy mouth, 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 listen to my voice, And Israel would not hearken to me.
12 To pongah angmacae palungthahhaih baktih toengah ka prawt sut; nihcae loe angmacae koehhaih baktiah caeh o.
So I gave them up to the obstinacy of their hearts, And they walked according to their own devices.
13 Kai ih kami mah ka lok tahngaih o moe, Israel mah ka loklam to pazui nahaeloe!
“O that my people had hearkened to me! That Israel had walked in my ways!
14 Nihcae ih misanawk to karangah ka kuepsak moe, a misanawk bangah ka ban ka paqoi han.
Soon would I have brought low 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 Jehovah should have become suppliants to them, And their prosperity 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.
With the finest of the wheat I would have fed them, And with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied them.”
