< Sam 76 >
1 Kathutkung: Asaph Judah vah Cathut panue lah ao teh, Isarel vah a min teh a lentoe.
“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.
2 Salem haiyah lukkareiim ao teh, Zion vah a onae hmuen ao.
In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.
3 Hawvah, licung pala, tarantuknae, bahling hoi tahloinaw hah a khoe awh. (Selah)
There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.
4 Nang teh, tarantuknae monnaw hlak na sungren teh na hawihnawn.
More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!
5 A tarankahawinaw lawp lah ao teh, mat a i awh toe. Tami a tha kaawm apinihai a kut dâw thai awh hoeh.
Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.
6 Oe Jakop Cathut, na yuenae dawk hoi marang hoi ranglengnaw teh kadout e patetlah koung a rawp awh.
Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!
7 Nang teh taki na tho doeh. Na lungkhuek pawiteh, na hmalah apimouh kangdout thai han.
Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?
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 trembled 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 oppressed of the earth!
10 Taminaw e lungkhueknae ni na pholen roeroe han. Ka cawi e lungkhueknae hai na keng dawk na kâyeng han.
The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!
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.
Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,
12 Ama ni lawkcengkungnaw e lung hah, a rahnoum sak han. Talai siangpahrangnaw hanelah takikatho poung e lah ao.
Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
