Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
2 BOEIPA kah thayung thamal te unim aka thui thai vetih amah koehnah te boeih aka yakming thai eh?
[Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.

We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].

When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
8 Tedae a ming neh a thayung thamal te ming sak hamla amih te a khang.
But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
9 Carhaek li te a ho tih a kak sak phoeiah tuidung longah khosoek bangla amih te a caeh puei.
He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].

When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
13 A bibi te koeloe a hnilh uh tih a oluen te rhing uh pawh.
But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
14 Te dongah khosoek ah hoehhamnah a pael uh tih khopong ah Pathen a noemcai uh.
They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].

Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
24 Sahnaih khohmuen te a hnawt uh dongah a olkhueh te tangnah uh pawh.

and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
28 Te dongah Baalpeor neh sun uh tih aka duek kah hmueih te a caak uh.
Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.

They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
39 A bibi neh a poeih uh tih a khoboe neh cukhalh uh.
So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].

For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
