Sam 60
1 Kathutkung: Devit Mesopotamia hoi Siria Zabathnaw a tuk teh, Joab a ban teh, Palawi yawn dawk tami 12, 000 touh a thei navah a sak e la Oe Cathut, na lungkhuek dawkvah, kaimouh na pahnawt teh, kho tangkuem na kathek toe. Bout na roung sak haw.
[I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
2 Talai heh na pâyaw sak teh na kâbawng sak. Kâbawng e naw hah bout pâbing haw, pou a kâhuet hei.
[When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
3 Na taminaw heh ka ru e hno na hmu sak teh, runae misur hah na pânei.
You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
4 Nang kataketnaw hah lawkkatang pâwlawk dawk ung vaiteh, yap hanelah lukkarei na poe.
But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
5 Na pahren e naw hah rungngang lah ao awh nahanlah, nange aranglae kut hoi rungngang haw.
Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
6 Cathut ni a thoungnae lahoi a dei toe. Ka konawm vaiteh, Shekhem kho kapek vaiteh, Sakut yawn hah ka bangnue han.
[Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
7 Gilead teh kaie doeh, Manasseh teh kaie doeh. Ephraim hai kaie bawilakhung doeh. Judah teh kaie kâlawk kapoekung doeh.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
8 Moab teh ka kamhluknae kawlung doeh. Edom ram teh, ka khok coungroenae lah ao han. Kai kecu dawk Filistin lathueng tânae hram lawk a tâco han.
but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
9 Kacake khopui dawk, apimaw na hrawi han. Edom vah, apimaw na hrawi han.
[Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
10 Oe Cathut, na kapahnawtkung teh, nang nahoehmaw. Ransanaw koe ka cet hoeh e hah teh, nang nahoehmaw.
So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
11 Runae um vah, na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami kabawpnae teh cungkeihoeh.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Cathut pawlawk dawk taranhawi laihoi namnei awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni maimae tarannaw hah rep a coungroe han.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
