La Bu 44
1 O Elohim Pathen, phat sottah masanga kapu kapateo khanglai a nanatoh nathil bolho eina seipeh u chu keiho tah in kanakol un kanajaove:
“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 Nangin nangma helou namtin vaipi ho naban thahat in nana deljam in agam leiset uchu kapu kapateo nanapen ahi. Nangin agalmiteo nana suhlhuh peh in kapu kapateo chu nana chamlhat sah in ahi.
Thou, with thy hand, didst indeed drive out nations, and plant them; thou didst ill-treat people, and cause them to spread out.
3 Amahon achemjam uva gal anajouva gam analah u ahipoi; aban thahat uva jong gal anajou ahipoi. Amavang nangma ban thahat leh namaivah chun gal nana jopeh ahibouve ajeh chu nangin amaho chu nana ngailun ahi.
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 Nangma kalengpa le Elohim ka Pathen nahin nangin Israel te dingin gal nana jo peh tai.
Thou art my King, O God: ordain salvation for Jacob.
5 Nangma thahatna jal a bou kagal miteo kanungno jouvu ahin naming a bou keihon eidouhou kachotphao ahibouve.
Through thee will we butt down our assailants: through thy name will we tread under foot our opponents.
6 Keiman kathalpi kasongpoi, kachemjamin eihuhdoh dingjong kakinempoi.
For not in my bow will I trust, and my sword shall not help me.
7 Nangma bouvin kagalmi teo chunga galjona neipeh u ahibouve, hitihin nangin eihotbol teo chu jumna napejin ahi.
But thou helpest us against our assailants, and those that hate us thou puttest to shame.
8 O Elohim Pathen naloupina ho hi tantih neilou va ka samphon jing diu, chule a kumkho a ka thangvah jing diu ahi.
Of God we boast all the day, and to thy name will we give thanks for ever. (Selah)
9 Ahinla tunvang nangin jumthetna neipaidoh u ahitai. Nangin ka sepia hou jengjong neilamkai peh tapouve.
But [now] thou hast cast off, and put us to the blush, and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Nangin kagalmi teu va kon in neinung jamsah un chuleh eidou houchu kagamsung u nalosah tai.
Thou causest us to turn back from before our assailant: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 Nangin kelngoiho bangin eikisat chen chen sah gamtaovin chitin vaipi lah a neithe thang gamtaove.
Thou givest us up like sheep for food, and among the nations hast thou dispersed us.
12 Nangin nasahlut namitehi manbai tah in najohdoh in man neilouhel toh nabah sahtai.
Thou sellest thy people for no value, and acquirest no gain by their price.
13 Nangin kaheng kakomhou noise neichansah taovin kavelluva mite taitom le houset dingbep in neikoitaove.
Thou renderest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those that are round about us.
14 Nangin amaho totthang hoina bepseo neihisah taovin isahlou tah in alu eihih khum taovin ahi.
Thou renderest us a by-word among the nations, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 Ki taitom jingna a konhin kakile doh jouta pouvin kamai uva jumleh jachat mel kapu den taove.
All the day is my disgrace before me, and the shame of my face covereth me;
16 Kajah uhi eitaitomteo housetna thucheng ngen ahin, kamit uva kamu houhi ahileh kachunguva phula nom dougal mite ngen ahiuve.
Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and him that seeketh vengeance.
17 Hichenghi kathoh jeng vangun keihon nangma kasumil deh pouvin ahi. Kitepna thuchengho jong kasukeh deh pouve.
All this is come over us, yet have we not forgotten thee; nor have we dealt falsely by thy covenant;
18 Kalung thim un nangma kanuse deh pouvin nalampia konin jong kajam mangdeh pouve.
Our heart is not moved backward, nor hath our step turned aside from thy path:
19 Hinlah nangin sial chenna neldi gam anei suchipden taove, nangin thina le muthim neikhu khum taove.
Even when thou didst crush us in the abode of monsters, and cover us with the shadow of death.
20 I jemtia keihon Elohim ka Pathen u min kasuh mil uva ahilouleh gamdang semthu pathen houna a kakhut u kalhandoh khah uva ahileh,
If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange God:
21 Elohim Pathen in ahet teiding ahi ajeh chu Aman mihem lungthim a thuguh jouse ahet ahi.
Would not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Ahin, nangma jal in niseh in eiki thatnun; kelngoi bangin eiki that taove.
But for thy sake are we slain all the day; we are counted as flocks [destined] for slaughter.
23 O Yahweh Pakai hung thoudoh in ibol a na imut ham? Hung thoudoh in! neipaidoh pai pai hihbeh un.
Awake, wherefore wilt thou sleep, O Lord? arise, abandon us not for ever.
24 Ipidinga namai naheimang ham? Kathohgim naoleh eibolset naohi nanahsah lou hitam?
Wherefore wilt thou hide thy face, wilt thou forget our misery, and our oppression?
25 Keiho leivui lah a kalhumat gam taove, bonlhoh lah a akhupbon kakijam taove.
For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Hung kipatdoh inlang! Neikithopiuvin! Nami ngailutna longlou chun neihung lhatdoh taovin.
Arise unto our help, and redeem us for the sake of thy kindness.
