Tingtoeng 77
1 [Jeduthun te aka mawt ham Asaph kah Jeduthun tingtoenglung] Pathen taengah ka ol ka huel tih ka pang. Pathen taengah ka ol ka huel tih kai taengla a hna han kaeng.
I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears me.
2 Ka citcai tue vaengah ka Boeipa ka toem. Khoyin ah ka ban ka lam tih kha tlaih pawh. Ka hinglu hloep ham a aal.
Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
3 Pathen ka ngaidam tih ka ko. Lolmang ka taeng vaengah ka mueihla rhae.
When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
4 Ka mikhmuh ah miklung nan buem tih kai n'cahoeh he ka thui lek pawh. (Selah)
[All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
5 Khosuen hlamat kum kah khohnin te ka poek.
I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous years.
6 Khoyin ah ka rhotoeng ka ngaidam. Ka thinko ah lolmang ka taeng tih ka mueihla a sat.
I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
7 Ka Boeipa loh kumhal duelam nim n'hlahpham vetih koekthoek kan doe bal eh ti voel pawt nim?
“Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
8 A sitlohnah loh a yoeyah la a toeng vetih a olkhueh loh cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma ham bawtpat pawn a ya?
Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
9 Pathen loh sitlohthamlam ham a hnilh tih a haidamnah te thintoek loh a uep bal nim? (Selah)
God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
10 Ka nue coeng ka ti vaengah he Khohni kah bantang kut loh n'talh.
Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
11 BOEIPA kah khoboe tah ka ngaidam rhoe ka ngaidam pai tih hlamat lamkah na khobaerhambae khaw ka ngaidam.
[But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
12 Te dongah na bisai boeih te ka thuep vetih na bibi boeih te lolmang ka taeng puei ni.
I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
13 Pathen namah kah longpuei cim ah mebang pathen lae Pathen bangla aka tanglue bal?
God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
14 Khobaerhambae aka saii Pathen namah loh pilnam rhoek taengah na sarhi khaw na tueng sak.
You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
15 Na pilnam Jakob neh Joseph koca te bantha neh na tlan. (Selah)
By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
16 Tui rhoek loh Pathen namah m'hmuh uh. Tui rhoek loh namah m'hmuh uh vaengah kilkul uh tih a laedil pataeng tlai.
[It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
17 Khomai loh tui han hawk. Khomong khaw a ol hum. Na thaltang rhoek khaw thui.
Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
18 Humhae khui lamkah na khohum ol ah rhaek la phaa tih lunglai khaw tlai coeng, diklai khaw hinghuen coeng.
Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
19 Tuitunli dongkah na longpuei neh tui puei dongah khaw na lamkat patoeng, lamkat patoeng om dae na kholaeh ming uh pawh.
[Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
20 Na pilnam te Moses kut, Aaron kut neh tuping bangla na mawt.
You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
