Saam 94
1 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, lu lakung; Aw lu lakung Sithaw, amtueng thuih raeh.
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Aw long lokcaekkung, angthawk ah; amoek kami han katingah tangqum to paek ah.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Angraeng, kasae kaminawk loe nasetto maw, kahoih ai kaminawk loe nasetto maw nawm o vop tih?
Lord, how long shall the wicked, 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 hard things? and 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 break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
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.
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall 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 chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Kami poekhaih loe azom pui ni, tiah Angraeng mah panoek.
The Lord 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 Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, 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 the Lord 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.
But 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 evildoers? or who will stand up 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.
Unless the Lord had 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 mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 Ka palung thung poekhaih angpung sut naah, ka hinghaih to nang hoesak.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight 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 iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 Nihcae loe katoeng kami hinghaih to lak hanah, amkhueng o moe, zaehaih tawn ai kami hum hanah khokhan o.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Toe Angraeng loe kacak kai ih sipae ah oh; ka Sithaw loe ka buephaih lungsong ah oh.
But the Lord is my defence; and my God is 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 shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
