Tingtoeng 44
1 Aka mawt ham Korah ca rhoek kah Hlohlai Pathen aw, hlamat kum kah amamih tue ah na saii khoboe te, a pa rhoek loh kaimih ham a tae uh tih, kaimih hna neh ka yaak uh coeng.
For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
2 Na kut neh namtom na haek tih a pa rhoek te na thoh. Namtu te talh sak ham a pa rhoek na hlun.
Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
3 A cunghang loh khohmuen pang sak uh pawt tih a bantha loh amih a khang moenih. Tedae amih te na moeithen dongah na bantang kut kah na bantha, na maelhmai kah khosae nen ni na khang.
For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
4 Ka manghai Pathen nang loh Jakob kah khangnah ham uen lah.
Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
5 Nang rhang neh ka rhal rhoek te ka thoeh uh. Kaimih taengkah aka tlai rhoek na ming neh ka suntlae uh.
Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 Ka liva dongah ka pangtung pawt tih ka cunghang loh kai n'khang moenih.
For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
7 Tedae ka rhal kut lamkah kaimih nan khang tih kaimih kah ka lunguet rhoek te na yah sak.
But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
8 Hnin takuem Pathen rhang neh ka thangthen uh tih na ming te kumhal duela ka uem uh ni. (Selah)
In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. (Selah)
9 Tedae nan hlahpham tih kaimih kah hmaithae na saii dae ka caempuei taengla na pawk tloe moenih.
Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
10 Rhal taeng lamkah kaimih he hnuk la let nan khuen vaengah ka lunguet rhoek loh amamih vik te tukvat uh thae.
Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
11 Boiv a bangla kaimih he maeh la nan mop tih namtom taengah kaimih he nan thaek nan yak.
Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
12 A rhoeh pawt dongah na pilnam na yoih dae amih phu nen khaw na rhoeng hae pawh.
Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
13 Imben rhoek ham kokhahnah, tamdaengnah neh kaepvai kah soehsalnah la kaimih nan khueh.
Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 Namtom rhoek taengah thuidoeknah neh namtu pawt kah lu thuknah ham ni kaimih he nan khueh.
Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 Kamah kah mingthae loh hnin takuem kamah hmuh ah om tih,
All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 aka veet kah ol neh thunkha nah phu aka lo kah mikhmuh ah a hliphen dongah ka maelhmai he yahpohnah loh a thing khoep.
For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
17 He boeih loh kaimih taengah ha pai dae nang kan hnilh uh pawt tih na paipi dongah rhi ka lat uh moenih.
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
18 Ka lungbuei he a hnuk la balkhong pawh. Kaimih khokan long khaw na caehlong te phaelh pawh.
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
19 Tedae pongui kho ah kaimih nan phen tih dueknah hlipkhup neh nan khuk thil.
Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 Ka Pathen ming ka hnilh uh tih rhalawt pathen taengah kut ka phuel uh atah,
If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
21 Lungbuei kah a huephael aka ming Pathen loh hekah he khe mahpawt a?
Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Nang ham dongah maeh aka ngawn kah boiva la poek uh tih hnin takuem ah kaimih n'ngawn uh.
Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Haenghang laeh ba dongah lae na ih. Ka Boeipa, thoo laeh a yoeyah la nan hlahpham tarha mahpawh.
Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.
24 Ba dongah lae na hmai na thuh tih kaimih pum kah phacipphabaem neh hnaemtaeknah na hnilh?
Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 Kaimih hinglu loh laipi dongla ngam tih kaimih bung loh diklai la khoem uh coeng.
For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Kaimih kah bomkung aw thoo lamtah na sitlohnah dongah kaimih n'lat dae.
Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake.
