Sam 8

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe kaimae Bawipa, Jehovah teh, talai van pueng dawk na min ahawi toungloung. Na bawilennae teh kalvannaw lathueng vah na ta.

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tarannaw kecu dawk moipathungkung hoi taran na roum sak thai nahanlah, sanu ka net e camonaw pahni dawk hoi thaonae hah na cak sak.

You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

3 Na kutdawn hoi na sak e kalvannaw hoi na caksak e thapa hoi âsinaw hah ka khet navah,

When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4 tami heh banglamouh ao teh, na lungthung hoi na pouk. Tami capa heh banglamouh ao teh khuet na pai sin.

it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni hah kalvantaminaw hlak bet ka rahnoum lah na sak teh, bawilennae hoi pholennae hah na kâmuk sak.

You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

6 Na kutsaknaw koe kâ na tawn sak teh, a khok rahim bangpuengpa na hruek pouh.

You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

7 Maitotan hoi tu pueng hai, kahrawngum e saring pueng hoi,

the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

8 kalvan e tavanaw hoi, talî thung e tanganaw hoi, talaipui thung kaawm e pueng hoi,

the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

9 Oe BAWIPA, kaimae Bawipa, talai van pueng dawk na min teh ahawi toungloung.

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!
