Saam 44
1 Aw Khawsa ka ming haa ing zahawh unyng; ka pakhqi ami hqing tloek awh ak kqym awh nang ing na sai peekkhqi ce kaimih a venawh kqawn hawh uhy.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
2 Na kut ing nang ngawh thlangphyn khqi thlak khqi pheng nawh ka pakhqi ce dyih sak hyk ti; thlangkhqi ce hqe nawh ka pakhqi ce kqeng sak hyk ti.
Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
3 Zawzi ing cekkhqi a qam ce am noeng unawh, ami bantha ingawm am noeng uhy; nang ak tang ben, nang a baan, ak vang nang a haai ing ni, kawtih cekkhqi ce nang ing lungna hyk ti.
For they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour them.
4 Nang taw ka sangpahrang ingkaw ka Khawsa na awm hyk ti, Jacob aham na noengnaak awi ak pekung na awm hyk ti.
Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
5 Namah ak caming kaimih ing ka qaalkhqi huna nawn sak unyng; namah ang ming ing ka qaalkhqi ce leh unyng.
Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
6 Ka licung ve am ypna nyng saw, kak zawzi ingawm amni noeng sak hy;
For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
7 Cehlai, ka qaalkhqik khan awh noengnaak ce ni pe nawh, ka thunkhakhqi ce chah phyih sak hyk ti.
But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
8 Myngawi Khawsa awh oek qu kang nyng saw, nang ming ce kumqui dyna kyihcah kawng unyng.
Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. (Selah)
9 Cehlai tuh taw ni qoek nawh ak kai dyt na ni ta hawh hyk ti; ka qaalkapkhqi ingawm am cet haih voel hyk ti.
But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Ka qaal a haiawh hu na ning thoeih sak nawh, ka thunkhakhqi ing ni him khqi pheng hy.
Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
11 Tuu amyihna daih aham ni hlah hyt tiksaw pilnam thlang venawh ni thek ni zak hyk ti.
Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
12 Nak thlangkhqi ce a phu ak zawi cana zawi hlai hyk ti, zawih phu awm am awm lawk a he hy.
Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
13 Ka imcengkhqi am theet hly hqoeng na ni sai tiksaw, ka keng thlangkhqi a thekha qaihnaak ni phyih sak hyk ti.
Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
14 Pilnam anglakawh thlang ak kqawn hly kqoeng na ni sai tiksaw; thlang ing a lu nik kqek sih hy.
Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
15 Na haiawh myngawi kang ming se nawh, ka haai ve chahnaak ing sing khoep hy,
My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
16 ak che na nik kqawn seet nawh, lu lawh aham ak caika qaalkhqi a dawngawh ni.
For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
17 Nang ce am nim hilh unyng saw na paipi awm a sawhqat na am sai thai unyng; vemyihkhqi boeih ve kaimih a venawh pha law hy.
All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
18 Kamik kawlungkhqi huna am thoeih nawh; kami khawkhqi awm na lam awhkawng am pleng hy.
Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
19 Cehlai kqawng uikhqi a hqip thek thyk aham nang ing ni nam qap nawh thannaak ing ni sing khoep hyk ti.
Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
20 Ka Khawsa ang ming ce hilh unawh qapchang khawsa a venawh kut kami phyl mantaw,
If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
21 kawlung ak hyp zani ak simkung, Khawsa ing am hu kawm nu?
Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Cehlai, nang awh myngawi thihnaak hu unyng; him ham kawina ak awm tuu amyihna ning ngai uhy.
Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
23 Aw Bawipa, hqyng lah! Ikawtih, na ih hy voei? Kqoek qu lah! Kaimih ve kumqui dyna koeh ni hqek khqi.
Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
24 Ikawtih, na haai thuh nawh kaimih a kyinaak ingkaw khuikhanaak ve nam hilh hy voei?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
25 Dekvai awh nung tla unawh; dek awh kami pum ve bet qu qap hawh hy.
For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
26 Tho nawhtaw kaimih ve nik pyi khqi lah; amak dyt thai na lungnaak awh kaimih ve ni hul khqi lah.
Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
