Saam 85

1 Aw Bawipa, na qam khan awh nak kaw law nawh; Jacob ak khan awh kam awmnaak ce pe tlaih hyk ti.

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, thou has taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.

2 Nak thlangkhqi a sai palhnaak awh qeenkhaw ngai nawh a thawlhnaakkhqi boeih ce myk a dah pe hyk ti.

Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou has covered all their sins. (Pause)

3 Nak kawsonaakkhqi boeih ce khoe tiksaw nak kaw tawinaak ce hawi taak hyk ti.

Thou has caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.

4 Aw Khawsa kaimih a Hulkung, kaimih ve ning dyih sak khqi tlaih nawh, kaimih ak khan awh nak kaw ama lawnaak ce ak chang na ta mai cang.

Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thy anger away from us.

5 Kaimih ak khan awh nak kawso hly loet hawh nawh nu? Cadil dyna nak kawsonaak ce na sang hly sak nawh nu?

Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?

6 Namah awh nak thlangkhqi ing zeelnaak ami huhnaak thai tlaih aham, kaimih ve am nani do hlyk khqi voel hawh nawh nu?

O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

7 Aw Bawipa, amak dyt thai na lungnaak ce dang law sak cang nawh, na hulnaak ce ni pek khqi cang.

Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.

8 Bawipa Khawsa ing ak kqawn hly kawi ce ngai kawng nyng, amah ing ak thlangkhqi, thlakcimkhqi venawh ngaihqepnaak awi kam hy – cemyihkhqi ce qawnaak benna koeh mangsak voel.

I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.

9 Amah a boeimangnaak ce ni qam khuiawh thlangkhqi venawh amah a hulnaak ce zoe pe sak hy.

Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Lungnaak ingkaw ypawmnaak ce hu qu nih nawh; dyngnaak ingkaw qoepnaak ce mawk qu hy nih.

Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

11 Khawmdek awhkawng ypawmnaak ce hak cawn nawh, khan nakawng dyngnaak ing nuk toek hy.

Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.

12 Bawipa ing ik-oeih nep ce ni pe kawmsaw, ni qam ing ak thaih ce hawlaw kaw.

For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.

13 Dyngnaak ce a haiawh cet nawh a khaw kan aham a cehnaak lam ce qoek a bah pehy.

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
