1 Aramnaharaim neh Aramzobah te a hnueih phoeiah Joab ha bal tih kolrhawk ah Edom thawng hlai nit a ngawn vaengkah a tukkil te aka mawt ham David kah Olphong Tuilipai laa Pathen aw, kaimih he nan hlahpham tih, na thintoek ah kaimih nan phaek. Kaimih he koep m'mael puei lah.
For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burnt Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and struck [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
2 Diklai na hinghuen tih phak na boe. A tuen vaengkah a hma te hoeih sak lah.
You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3 Na pilnam te mangkhak la na hmuh tih ngaengainah misurtui te kaimih nan tul.
You have shown your people hard things: you has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Nang aka rhih ham tah, tiktam hmai la rhaelrham saeh tila rholik na thoh pah. (Selah)
You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
5 Na lungnah rhoek te na bantang neh khang lamtah pumcum uh van saeh. Te dongah kaimih he n'doo lamtah kamah khaw n'doo mai.
That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6 Pathen loh a hmuencim lamkah, “Ka sundaep vetih, Shekhem te ka boe phoeiah Sukkoth kol te ka suem ni.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7 Gilead he kai kah tih, Manasseh khaw kamah kah. Ephraim khaw ka lu kah lunghim tih, Judah khaw ka taem.
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
8 Moab tah kai kah tuihluknah am ni. Edom soah ka khokhom ka voeih tih Philistia te ka yuhui thil,” a ti.
Judas is my king; Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9 Vongup khopuei la ulong kai n'khuen eh? Edom la ulong kai m'mawt eh?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 Pathen nang loh kaimih nan hlahpham pawt tih Pathen namah te kaimih kah caempuei rhoek taengla na pawk moenih a?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?
11 Hlang kah loeihnah a poeyoek la a om dongah rhal taengah khaw kai he bomnah m'pae lah.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12 Pathen neh caem ka tloek rhoi vetih ka rhal ka suntlae ni.
In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
