Saam 85
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, na prae thungah palung koi kaom hmuen to nam tuengsak; naeh ih Jakob acaengnawk to na hoih let.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Lord, you were good to your land: changing the fate of Jacob.
2 Nangmah ih kaminawk sakpazaehaih to na tahmen moe, nihcae zaehaih to na khuk pae. (Selah)
The wrongdoing of your people had forgiveness; all their sin had been covered. (Selah)
3 Palung na phuihaihnawk to na takhoe boih; thacak palung na phuihaih to nang qoi taak.
You were no longer angry: you were turned from the heat of your wrath.
4 Aw Sithaw, pahlongkung, kaicae hae angthasak let ah loe, kaicae khaeah palung na phuihaih to diipsak ah.
Come back to us, O God of our salvation, and be angry with us no longer.
5 Kaicae nuiah palung na phui poe han vop maw? Na caanawk ih adung khoek to palungphuihaih na suek poe han vop maw?
Will you go on being angry with us for ever? will you keep your wrath against us through all the long generations?
6 Nangmah rang hoiah nangmah ih kaminawk mah anghoehaih hak o thai let hanah, kaicae hae nang talawk let mak ai boeh maw?
Will you not give us life again, so that your people may be glad in you?
7 Aw Angraeng, na palungnathaih kaicae khaeah amtuengsak ah loe, na pahlonghaih to na paek ah.
Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.
8 Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih han ih lok to ka tahngaih han; anih loe angmah ih kaminawk hoi angmah ih kaciim kaminawk khaeah lok to thui tih; toe amthuhaih bangah amlaem o let hmah nasoe.
I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.
9 Tangtang ni kaicae prae ah lensawkhaih oh thai hanah, a pahlonghaih loe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk taengah oh.
Truly, his salvation is near to his worshippers; so that glory may be in our land.
10 Palungnathaih hoi loktang lok to angtongh hoi boeh; toenghaih hoi angdaehhaih loe maeto hoi maeto angmok hoi.
Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.
11 Loktang loe long thung hoiah tacawt tahang tih; toenghaih mah van hoiah khen tathuk tih.
Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.
12 Ue, Angraeng mah kahoih hmuen to paek ueloe, kaicae ih prae mah athaih to tacawtsak tih.
The Lord will give what is good; and our land will give its increase.
13 Toenghaih loe anih hmaa ah caeh ueloe, a caehhaih loklam to aicae ih loklam ah na sah pae tih.
Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.
