Tingtoeng 79
1 [Asaph kah Tingtoenglung] Pathen aw, namtom rhoek loh na rho a kun uh thil tih, na bawkim cim te a poeih uh. Jerusalem te lairhok bangla a khueh uh.
[A Psalm by Asaph.] God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 Na sal rhoek kah a rhok te vaan kah vaa taengah, na hlangcim rhoek kah a saa te diklai mulhing taengah cakok la a paek uh.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your faithful to the animals of the earth.
3 Amih thii te Jerusalem kaepvai ah tui bangla a hawk uh tih aka up om pawh.
Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 Kaimih he imben rhoek kah kokhahnah, ka taengvai kah tamdaengnah neh soehsalnah la ka om uh.
We have become objects of contempt to our neighbors, mocked and ridiculed by those who are around us.
5 BOEIPA aw me hil nim na thin a toek ve? Na thatlainah te hmai bangla rhong yoeyah aya?
How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Nang aka ming pawh namtom rhoek so neh na ming aka khue mueh ram soah na kosi hawk thil lah.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you; on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
7 Jakob te a yoop uh tih a tolkhoeng te a pong sak uh.
For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8 Lamhma kah thaesainah a rho te kaimih taengah thoelh boel lamtah dikdik ka tlayae uh dongah na haidamnah kaimih koe n'doe uh saeh.
Do not hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9 Kaimih kah daemnah Pathen aw na thangpomnah ming ham kaimih m'bom dae. Na ming kongah kaimih n'huul lamtah kaimih kah tholhnah te han dawth dae.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
10 Balae tih namtom rhoek loh, “A Pathen khaw melae?” a ti uh eh. Na sal rhoek kah thii aka hawk namtom taengah tawnlohnah loh kaimih mikhmuh ah aka thoeng te namtom rhoek loh ming uh saeh.
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
11 Thongtla kah a kiinah loh namah taengla ha pawk saeh. Dueknah cadil rhoek te na boeilennah bantha neh sueng sak.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, free those who are sentenced to death.
12 Te vaengah kaimih kah imben rhoek te voeirhih la thuung lah. A kodang ah amih kah kokhahnah neh Boeipa namah ni m'veet uh coeng te.
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their lap the insults with which they have insulted you, LORD.
13 Te dongah na pilnam kaimih neh na rhamtlim kah boiva long tah, namah te kumhal duela kan uem uh ni. Cadilcahma neh cadilcahma hil nang koehnah te ka tae uh ni.
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
