< Sam 76 >
1 Kathutkung: Asaph Judah vah Cathut panue lah ao teh, Isarel vah a min teh a lentoe.
In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 Salem haiyah lukkareiim ao teh, Zion vah a onae hmuen ao.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 Hawvah, licung pala, tarantuknae, bahling hoi tahloinaw hah a khoe awh. (Selah)
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)
4 Nang teh, tarantuknae monnaw hlak na sungren teh na hawihnawn.
Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 A tarankahawinaw lawp lah ao teh, mat a i awh toe. Tami a tha kaawm apinihai a kut dâw thai awh hoeh.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found 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, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Nang teh taki na tho doeh. Na lungkhuek pawiteh, na hmalah apimouh kangdout thai han.
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 Talai vah repcoungroe e naw rungngang teh lawkceng hanelah Cathut a kangdue toteh,
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 Na lawkcengnae lawk hah kalvan hoi na patoun teh, talai teh taki laihoi duem ao. (Selah)
When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
10 Taminaw e lungkhueknae ni na pholen roeroe han. Ka cawi e lungkhueknae hai na keng dawk na kâyeng han.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
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, and pay unto Yhwh your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 Ama ni lawkcengkungnaw e lung hah, a rahnoum sak han. Talai siangpahrangnaw hanelah takikatho poung e lah ao.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
