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.
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God for help—I even shout. If only he would listen to 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.
When I was in trouble I prayed to the Lord. All night long I stretched out my hands to him in prayer but nothing brought me any comfort.
3 Pathen ka ngaidam tih ka ko. Lolmang ka taeng vaengah ka mueihla rhae.
I thought about God, groaning loudly; I meditated on him, but I was discouraged. (Selah)
4 Ka mikhmuh ah miklung nan buem tih kai n'cahoeh he ka thui lek pawh. (Selah)
You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.
5 Khosuen hlamat kum kah khohnin te ka poek.
I think of the old days, years ago.
6 Khoyin ah ka rhotoeng ka ngaidam. Ka thinko ah lolmang ka taeng tih ka mueihla a sat.
I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:
7 Ka Boeipa loh kumhal duelam nim n'hlahpham vetih koekthoek kan doe bal eh ti voel pawt nim?
Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?
8 A sitlonah loh a yoeyah la a toeng vetih a olkhueh loh cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma ham bawtpat pawn a ya?
Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?
9 Pathen loh sitlohthamlam ham a hnilh tih a haidamnah te thintoek loh a uep bal nim? (Selah)
Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? (Selah)
10 Ka nue coeng ka ti vaengah he Khohni kah bantang kut loh n'talh.
Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”
11 BOEIPA kah khoboe tah ka ngaidam rhoe ka ngaidam pai tih hlamat lamkah na khobaerhambae khaw ka ngaidam.
I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.
12 Te dongah na bisai boeih te ka thuep vetih na bibi boeih te lolmang ka taeng puei ni.
I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.
13 Pathen namah kah longpuei cim ah mebang pathen lae Pathen bangla aka tanglue bal?
God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?
14 “Khobaerhambae aka saii Pathen namah loh pilnam rhoek taengah na sarhi khaw na tueng sak.
You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.
15 Na pilnam Jakob neh Joseph koca te bantha neh na tlan. (Selah)
Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Tui rhoek loh Pathen namah m'hmuh uh. Tui rhoek loh namah m'hmuh uh vaengah kilkul uh tih a laedil pataeng tlai.
When the waters saw you, God, when they looked they trembled! Yes, they shook down to the very depths!
17 Khomai loh tui han hawk. Khomong khaw a ol hum. Na thaltang rhoek khaw thui.
The clouds poured rain down; the skies crashed with thunder; your lightning flew like arrows.
18 Humhae khui lamkah na khohum ol ah rhaek la phaa tih lunglai khaw tlai coeng, diklai khaw hinghuen coeng.
Your thunder rumbled from the whirlwind; lightning flashes lit up the world; the earth quaked and shook.
19 Tuitunli dongkah na longpuei neh tui puei dongah khaw na lamkat patoeng, lamkat patoeng om dae na kholaeh ming uh pawh.
Your way led through the sea; your path passed through the deep sea; yet your footprints were invisible.
20 Na pilnam te Moses kut, Aaron kut neh tuping bangla na mawt.
You led your people like a flock, shepherded by Moses and Aaron.
