Sam 81
1 Kathutkung: Asaph Maimae thaonae Cathut koe kacaipounglah la sak awh. Jakop Cathut koe konawm laihoi hram awh.
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. By Asaph. Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2 La sak awh nateh cecak hah khawng awh. A lawk kahawi e ratoung tamawi hah kueng awh.
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, pawi hnin vah mongka ueng awh.
Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on 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 covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
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)
You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you 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, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9 Miphun louk cathut nangmouh koe awm mahoeh. Miphun louk cathut na bawk awh mahoeh.
There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you 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, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your 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 didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired 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 hearts, 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 listen to 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 would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16 Kahawi poung e tavai hoi ka kawk vaiteh, lungsong thung e khoitui hoi a lungkhuekti sak han eite.
But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
