Sam 74
1 Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut bangkongmaw na pahnawt vaw. Bangkongmaw na saring a pânae koe e na tuhunaw taranlahoi na lungkhueknae hmaikhu a pâyam rah bo vaw.
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the flock of thy pasture?
2 Kamkhueng e tamimaya, yampa na ran e, râw lah na pang e miphun, na ratang e naw heh pahnim hanh.
Remember the people which thou didst purchase of old; Thine own inheritance, which thou didst redeem; That Mount Zion, where thou once didst dwell!
3 Raphoe tangcoung e hmuen koe tho haw. Hmuen kathoung dawk e hno pueng hah taran ni koung a raphoe toe.
Hasten thy steps to those utter desolations! Every thing in the sanctuary hath the enemy abused!
4 Na taminaw a kamkhuengnae hmuen koe, na tarannaw teh a hramki awh teh, mitnoutnaw hah a vo awh.
Thine enemies roar in the place of thine assemblies; Their own symbols have they set up for signs.
5 Ratu thing ka tâtueng hane patetlah, cakânaw teh a palik awh.
They appear like those who raise the axe against a thicket;
6 Dongdengca dawk bawkim hnonaw hah amamae cakâ, cakkinnaw hoi a raphoe awh.
They have broken down the carved work of thy temple with axes and hammers;
7 Thoungnae hmuen hah hmai a sawi awh teh, na min onae hmuen hah a khin sak awh toe.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary; They have profaned, and cast to the ground, the dwelling-place of thy name.
8 Koung raphoe awh sei ati awh teh, ram thung e Cathut bawknae hmuen pueng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them all together!” They have burned all God's places of assembly in the land.
9 Kaimouh teh mae mitnoutnae ka hmawt awh hoeh toe. Profet hai awm hoeh toe. Bangkong han nama aw, telah kapanuekkung kaimouh koe awm hoeh toe.
We no longer see our signs; There is no prophet among us, Nor any one that knoweth how long this desolation shall endure.
10 Oe Cathut, bangkongmaw na tarannaw ni na pathoe han. Taran ni na min pou a pacekpahlek han na maw.
How long, O God! shall the adversary revile? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Bangkongmaw na kut aranglae hah na dâw hoeh vaw. Bout dâw nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung raphoe haw.
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? Take it from thy bosom, and destroy!
12 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Cathut teh ayan hoi talai taminaw koe rungngangnae kasakkung kaie Siangpahrang doeh.
Yet God was our king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Na thaonae lahoi talîpui hah na kapek teh, tui thung tuitamnaw e lû hah na khoe pouh.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy power; Thou didst crush the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 Leviathan lû hah koung na khoe pouh teh, kahrawng kaawmnaw ni ca hanelah na poe.
Thou didst break in pieces the head of the crocodile; Thou gavest him for food to the inhabitants of the desert.
15 Tuikhu hoi palangnaw hah na palang pouh teh, palangpuinaw hah na hak sak.
Thou didst cleave forth the fountain and the stream; Thou didst dry up perennial rivers.
16 Khodai hoi karum hai nange doeh Kanî hoi angnae hah na sak toe.
Thine is the day, and thine the night; Thou didst prepare the light and the sun.
17 Talai khori pueng hai thoseh, kompawi hoi kasik pueng hai thoseh na sak toe.
Thou didst establish all the boundaries of the earth; Thou didst make summer and winter.
18 Oe BAWIPA, taran ni na pathoe e hoi tamipathunaw ni na min a pacekpahlek e hah pahnim hanh.
O remember that the enemy hath reviled Jehovah; That an impious people hath blasphemed thy name!
19 Oe, na bakhu hringnae heh sarang koe poe hanh. Ka mathoe e na taminaw e hringnae heh a yungyoe pahnim hanh.
Give not up the life of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast; Forget not for ever thine afflicted people!
20 Lawkkam hah bari haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai a hmonae hmuennaw hah rektap lawpnae hoi akawi.
Have regard to thy covenant! For all the dark places of the land are full of the abodes of cruelty.
21 Oe, repcoungroe e naw heh, kaya laihoi ban sak hanh. Mathoe hoi a reikathainaw ni na min pholen naseh.
O let not the afflicted go away ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise thy name!
22 Oe Cathut, thaw nateh, na kong hah kangdoutkhai haw. Tamipathu ni hnintangkuem na pathoe e hah pahnim hanh.
Arise, O God! maintain thy cause! Remember how the impious revileth thee daily!
23 Na tarannaw lawk heh pahnim hanh. Nang na ka tarannaw e ruengruengtinae lawk teh hoehoe a kampaw e hah pahnim hanh.
Forget not the clamor of thine adversaries, —The noise of thine enemies, which continually increaseth!
