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.
“To the chief musician, for the sons of Korach, a Maskil.” O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, deeds which thou hadst done in their days, in times 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 indeed drive out nations, and plant them; thou didst ill-treat people, and cause them to spread out.
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 sword did they obtain possession of the land, and their own arm brought them no victory; but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst given them thy favor.
4 Ka manghai Pathen nang loh Jakob kah khangnah ham uen lah.
Thou art my King, O God: ordain salvation for 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 will we butt down our assailants: through thy name will we tread under foot our opponents.
6 Ka liva dongah ka pangtung pawt tih ka cunghang loh kai n'khang moenih.
For not in my bow will I trust, and my sword shall not help me.
7 Tedae ka rhal kut lamkah kaimih nan khang tih kaimih kah ka lunguet rhoek te na yah sak.
But thou helpest us against our assailants, and those that hate us thou puttest to shame.
8 Hnin takuem Pathen rhang neh ka thangthen uh tih na ming te kumhal duela ka uem uh ni. (Selah)
Of God we boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. (Selah)
9 Tedae nan hlahpham tih kaimih kah hmaithae na saii dae ka caempuei taengla na pawk tloe moenih.
But [now] thou hast cast off, and put us to the blush, and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Rhal taeng lamkah kaimih he hnuk la let nan khuen vaengah ka lunguet rhoek loh amamih vik te tukvat uh thae.
Thou causest us to turn back from before our assailant: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 Boiv a bangla kaimih he maeh la nan mop tih namtom taengah kaimih he nan thaek nan yak.
Thou givest us up like sheep for food, and among the nations hast thou dispersed us.
12 A rhoeh pawt dongah na pilnam na yoih dae amih phu nen khaw na rhoeng hae pawh.
Thou sellest thy people for no value, and acquirest no gain by their price.
13 Imben rhoek ham kokhahnah, tamdaengnah neh kaepvai kah soehsalnah la kaimih nan khueh.
Thou renderest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.
14 Namtom rhoek taengah thuidoeknah neh namtu pawt kah lu thuknah ham ni kaimih he nan khueh.
Thou renderest us a by-word among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 Kamah kah mingthae loh hnin takuem kamah hmuh ah om tih,
All the day is my disgrace before me, and the shame of my face covereth 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.
Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.
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 over us, yet have we not forgotten thee; nor have we dealt falsely by thy covenant;
18 Ka lungbuei he a hnuk la balkhong pawh. Kaimih khokan long khaw na caehlong te phaelh pawh.
Our heart is not moved backward, nor hath our step turned aside from thy path:
19 Tedae pongui kho ah kaimih nan phen tih dueknah hlipkhup neh nan khuk thil.
Even when thou didst crush us in the abode of monsters, and cover 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 out this? 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.
But for thy sake are we slain all the day; we are counted as flocks [destined] for slaughter.
23 Haenghang laeh ba dongah lae na ih. Ka Boeipa, thoo laeh a yoeyah la nan hlahpham tarha mahpawh.
Awake, wherefore wilt thou sleep, O Lord? arise, abandon us not for ever.
24 Ba dongah lae na hmai na thuh tih kaimih pum kah phacipphabaem neh hnaemtaeknah na hnilh?
Wherefore wilt thou hide thy face, wilt thou forget our misery, 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 body cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Kaimih kah bomkung aw thoo lamtah na sitlohnah dongah kaimih n'lat dae.
Arise unto our help, and redeem us for the sake of thy kindness.
