Sam 81
1 Kathutkung: Asaph Maimae thaonae Cathut koe kacaipounglah la sak awh. Jakop Cathut koe konawm laihoi hram awh.
For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength; shout unto the God of Jacob.
2 La sak awh nateh cecak hah khawng awh. A lawk kahawi e ratoung tamawi hah kueng awh.
Take up the melody, and sound the timbrel, the sweet harp with the psaltery.
3 Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, pawi hnin vah mongka ueng awh.
Blow the horn at the new moon, at the full moon for our feast-day.
4 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hethateh, Isarelnaw hanlah phunglam lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut kâlawk lah ao.
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 Hethateh, Izip ram pueng a cei awh teh, thai panuek hoeh e lawk thainae hmuen koevah, lawkpanuesaknae Joseph koe a sak e doeh.
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when He went forth against the land of Egypt. The speech of one that I knew not did I hear:
6 A loung dawk a hrawm e hnori hah a puen pouh teh, a kut hoi a tawm e a bawm hah a kuem pouh.
'I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the basket.
7 Rucat navah na kaw teh na rungngang awh. khoparitnae hmuen koehoi na pato awh teh, Meribah tui koehoi na tanouk awh. (Selah)
Thou didst call in trouble, and I rescued thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Oe ka taminaw thai awh haw, lawk na thui vai. Oe Isarel ka lawk tarawi awh haw.
Hear, O My people, and I will admonish thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto Me!
9 Miphun louk cathut nangmouh koe awm mahoeh. Miphun louk cathut na bawk awh mahoeh.
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
10 Kai teh Cathut Jehovah, Izip ram hoi na kahrawikung doeh. Ka kaw lah na pahni ang awh nateh, ka kawi sak han.
I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 Hatei, ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai awh hoeh. Isarelnaw ni banglahai na pouk awh hoeh.
But My people hearkened not to My voice; and Israel would none of Me.
12 Amamae lungpatanae koe ka poe teh, amamouh ngai patetlah ao awh.
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 Oe ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai boilah, Isarel ni ka lamthung dawn haw pawiteh khe.
Oh that My people would hearken unto Me, that Israel would walk in My ways!
14 A taran tang ka tâ pouh vaiteh, ahnimouh katarankungnaw koe ka kut ka dâw pouh han eite.
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries.
15 BAWIPA kahmuhmanaw ni a hmalah kâhet awh vaiteh, ka taminaw teh pou a kangning awh han eite.
The haters of the LORD should dwindle away before Him; and their punishment should endure for ever.
16 Kahawi poung e tavai hoi ka kawk vaiteh, lungsong thung e khoitui hoi a lungkhuekti sak han eite.
They should also be fed with the fat of wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.'
