Sam 110

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA ni ka Bawipa koevah, na taran hah na khoktoungnae lah ka sak hoehroukrak, kaie kut arang lah tahung atipouh.

Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

2 BAWIPA ni, na thaonae tahroe teh, Zion hoi ka patoun han. Na tarannaw lungui uk haw.

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 Na taran na tuk hnin vah, na taminaw teh amamouh lungthocalah hoi na thosin awh han. Na thoundounnaw teh amom e tadamtui patetlah, nang koe monkathoung dawkvah, a tâco awh han.

On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

4 BAWIPA ni nang teh, Melkhizedek patetlah a yungyoe vaihma bawi telah thoe na bo toung dawkvah, nâtuek hai bout kâhno mahoeh toe.

Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

5 BAWIPA teh nange aranglah ao teh, a lungkhueknae hnin dawk siangpahrangnaw koung na thei han.

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 Miphunnaw hah lawk koung ceng vaiteh, hmuen pueng koe tami ro hoi akawi han. Ram moikapap kahrawikungnaw hah koung a thei han.

He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

7 Lam teng e sawkcanaw a nei awh vaiteh, lû hah a tawm awh han.

But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
