Saam 94
1 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, lu lakung; Aw lu lakung Sithaw, amtueng thuih raeh.
O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
2 Aw long lokcaekkung, angthawk ah; amoek kami han katingah tangqum to paek ah.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
3 Angraeng, kasae kaminawk loe nasetto maw, kahoih ai kaminawk loe nasetto maw nawm o vop tih?
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Sethaih sah kaminawk loe amoek o boih, nihcae loe nasetto maw lok kaham lok to apae o vop tih?
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Aw Angraeng, nihcae mah nang ih kaminawk to atit o moe, na qawktoep kaminawk to pacaekthlaek o.
They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6 Lamhmainawk, angvinnawk hoi ampa tawn ai kaminawk to a hum o.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
7 Angraeng mah hnu mak ai hmang, Jakob ih Sithaw mah doeh dawncang mak ai, tiah a thuih o.
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
8 Minawk salakah kaom poekhaih tawn ai kaminawk, panoek oh; kamthu kaminawk, natuek naah maw palung na haa o tih?
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Naa sahkung mah loe thaih mak ai maw? Mik sahkung mah loe hnu mak ai maw?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Sithaw panoek ai kami thuitaekkung mah loe, danpaek ai ah om tih maw? Kami palunghahaih patukkung loe, panoekhaih tawn ai maw?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Kami poekhaih loe azom pui ni, tiah Angraeng mah panoek.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Aw Angraeng, kasae kami hanah tangqom takae ai karoek to, karai tonghaih niah anih to nang haksak hanah, na thuihtaek moe, na lok patuk ih kami loe tahamhoih.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk to pahnawt sut mak ai, angmah ih qawktoep kaminawk doeh prawtsut mak ai.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15 Toenghaih nuiah lokcaekhaih to om tih, poektoeng kaminawk boih loe to hmuen to pazui o tih.
For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Kasae kaminawk tuk hanah mi maw kai hanah angthawk tih? To tih ai boeh loe kasae sah kaminawk tuk hanah mi maw kai han angdoe tih?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Angraeng mah na bomh ai nahaeloe, akra ai ah ka hinghaih hae amding rue duekhaih ahmuen ah ka om tih boeh.
If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Kai mah, Ka khok loe amthaek boeh, tiah ka thuih naah, Aw Angraeng, na palungnathaih hoiah kai to nang patawnh.
When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19 Ka palung thung poekhaih angpung sut naah, ka hinghaih to nang hoesak.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
20 Toeng ai ah lokcaek kaminawk to na koeh ai, kamro angraeng tangkhang loe nang hoiah angkomhaih oh maw?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
21 Nihcae loe katoeng kami hinghaih to lak hanah, amkhueng o moe, zaehaih tawn ai kami hum hanah khokhan o.
They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
22 Toe Angraeng loe kacak kai ih sipae ah oh; ka Sithaw loe ka buephaih lungsong ah oh.
But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 Angraeng mah nihcae zaehaih to angmacae nuiah krahsak ueloe, kasae a sak o haih pongah nihcae to amrosak tih; ue, aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah nihcae to paro tih.
And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
