Saam 60

1 Aw Khawssa, kaimih ve ni qoek khqi hawh tiksaw, kaimih ak khan awh nak kaw so hawh hy; nak kaw so hawh nawh - nim thawh tlaih lah!

For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.

2 Nang ing qam ce thloek tiksaw can sak thulh hawh hyk ti; ak kqek khqi ve cawng tlaih lah, tlai nyk nyk hy.

Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

3 Nak thlangkhqi ce kawboet kyinaak ni huh sak khqi tiksaw; misur tui ni awk sak khqi nawh kami ceh am thym voel hy.

Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

4 Cehlai, nang anik kqihkhqi aham taw, hizan ce hak zoek tiksaw li ce dan khoep hy.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

5 Nak tang kut ing ni hul khqi nawhtaw ni thaawng khqi lah, na lungnaak thlangkhqi loet na u seh.

That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

6 Khawsa ing a hun ciim awhkawng: “Noengnaak ing Shechem ce cun kawng nyng saw Succoth tuikaw ce tah vang.

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead ve kai a koe ni, Monasseh awm kai a koe ni; Ephraim ve ka thi lumyk na awm nawh, Judah ve ka sawnghqawl na awm hy.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

8 Moab ve kang silh qunaak beihthuk na awm nawh, Edom ak khan awh ka khawmyk khawng nyng saw; Philistia qam khan awh noengnaak ing khy nyng,” tihy.

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!

9 U ing nu khawk bau cak na anik ceh pyi kaw? U ing nu Edom na ani sawi kaw?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

10 Aw Khawsa, nang ing ni qoek khqi nawh ka qaalkapkhqi mi am cet haih voel hyk ti ka ti my?

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

11 Qalkap tuknaak thai aham bawngnaak ni pe lah, kawtih thlanghqing ak bawngnaak taw a phi am awm hy.

Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

12 Khawsa ing ni noengnaak ce ka mi huh hly, anih ing ni qaalkhqi ce a khaw ing a leh hly.

Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
