< Sam 76 >
1 Kathutkung: Asaph Judah vah Cathut panue lah ao teh, Isarel vah a min teh a lentoe.
Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
2 Salem haiyah lukkareiim ao teh, Zion vah a onae hmuen ao.
And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
3 Hawvah, licung pala, tarantuknae, bahling hoi tahloinaw hah a khoe awh. (Selah)
There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
4 Nang teh, tarantuknae monnaw hlak na sungren teh na hawihnawn.
Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
5 A tarankahawinaw lawp lah ao teh, mat a i awh toe. Tami a tha kaawm apinihai a kut dâw thai awh hoeh.
All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
6 Oe Jakop Cathut, na yuenae dawk hoi marang hoi ranglengnaw teh kadout e patetlah koung a rawp awh.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
7 Nang teh taki na tho doeh. Na lungkhuek pawiteh, na hmalah apimouh kangdout thai han.
Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
8 Talai vah repcoungroe e naw rungngang teh lawkceng hanelah Cathut a kangdue toteh,
Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
9 Na lawkcengnae lawk hah kalvan hoi na patoun teh, talai teh taki laihoi duem ao. (Selah)
When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
10 Taminaw e lungkhueknae ni na pholen roeroe han. Ka cawi e lungkhueknae hai na keng dawk na kâyeng han.
For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
11 BAWIPA na Cathut koevah, lawkkam awh nateh, kuep sak awh. Atengpam kaawm e pueng ni, taki hanelah kaawm e koevah, poehno hah poe awh.
Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
12 Ama ni lawkcengkungnaw e lung hah, a rahnoum sak han. Talai siangpahrangnaw hanelah takikatho poung e lah ao.
Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
