Sam 68
1 Kathutkung: Devit Cathut, thaw nateh tarannaw koung kâkayei naseh. Cathut kahmuhmanaw teh ama koehoi yawng awh naseh.
“To the chief musician, by David, a Psalm or song.” Oh that God would arise, that his enemies might be scattered, and those that hate him might flee before him.
2 Hmaikhu a kahma e patetlah ahnimouh teh koung kahmat naseh. Khoilai teh hmai hma lah a kamyawt e patetlah, tamikathoutnaw teh Cathut hmalah kahmat awh naseh.
As smoke is driven off, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Hatei, tamikalannaw teh lunghawi laihoi Cathut hmalah konawm awh naseh. Bokheiyah, puenghoi konawm awh naseh.
But the righteous shall rejoice; they shall exult before God: yea, they shall be exceedingly joyful.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name; extol him who rideth upon the heavens: the Everlasting is his name, and rejoice before him.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Cathut ni amadueng kho ka sak e hah imthung a poe teh, paung e naw hai tawntanae hmuen koe a hrawi. Hatei, tarankathawnaw teh kenae hmuen koe ao sak.
God places those who are solitary in the midst of their families: he bringeth out those who are bound unto happiness; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 Oe Cathut na taminaw hrawi hanelah na tâco teh, kahrawngum vah hmalah na cei navah, (Selah)
O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst tread along through the wilderness—Selah—
8 Talai a kâhuet teh, Cathut hmalah kalvan ni kho a rak sak. Sinai mon teh Cathut hmalah, Isarel Cathut hmalah a kâhuet.
The earth quaked, also the heavens dropped at the presence of God, yea, this Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Rain of beneficence didst thou pour down, O God, whereby thou didst truly strengthen thy heritage, when it was weary.

Thy assembly dwelt therein: thou didst prepare it with thy goodness for the afflicted [people]. O God,

The Lord gave [happy] tidings; they are published by the female messengers, a numerous host.
12 Siangpahrang e ransanaw teh a yawng awh teh, im ka ring e napuinaw ni lawphno a kârei awh.
The kings of the armies flee away—flee away: yet she that tarried at home divideth the spoil.
13 Tutakha thung na ka ip nakunghai, ngun hoi pathoup e bakhu rathei patetlah thoseh, sui hoi pathoup e rathei muen patetlah thoseh, na o awh han.
When ye lie still between the folds [of your cattle], [ye will be like] the wings of the dove covered with sliver, and her pinions shining with flaming gold.
14 Athakasaipounge Cathut ni siangpahrangnaw a kayei navah, Zalmon mon dawk e ka pangaw e tadamtui patetlah ao.
When the Almighty scattered kings in the midst of her, then even in darkness shone light [as pure] as snow.

A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.

Why watch ye enviously, ye many-peaked mountains, yonder mountain which God hath chosen for his residence? yea, the Lord will also dwell [there] for ever.

Blessed be the Lord; day by day he loadeth us [with benefits]; our God is our salvation. (Selah)

Our God is to us the God of salvation: and by the Eternal the Lord are the escapes from death.

But God will crush the head of his enemies, the hairy skull of him who walketh in his guiltiness.
22 Bawipa ni Bansan hoi ka bankhai vaiteh, ka dungpoung e talîpui koehoi bout ka bankhai han.
The Lord hath said, From Bashan will I bring back, I will bring back from the depths of the sea:

In order that thou mayest wade with thy feet in blood, feeding the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies' blood.

In assemblies bless ye God, [praise] the Lord, ye sprung from Israel's fountain.

To him who rideth over the highest heavens, of ancient days: hear! he sendeth forth his voice, the voice of might.

Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

Thou art tremendous, O God, from thy holy residences: O God of Israel, [thou art] he that givest strength and power unto [thy] people. Blessed be God.
