Sam 95
1 Kasakkung: panuekhoeh Oe, tho awh haw, BAWIPA koe la sak awh sei. Maimae rungngangnae lungsong hah pholen laihoi lunghawi hoi hram awh sei.
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 Lunghawilawkdeinae lahoi a hmalah cet awh sei. Lunghawinae la hoi ama koe hram awh sei.
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 BAWIPA teh ka lentoe e Cathut lah ao, cathut pueng e Siangpahrang kalen lah ao.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Talai a dungpoungnae teh a kut dawk ao teh, mon karasangnaw hai amae doeh.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Talîpui hai a sak teh, amae doeh. Talai hai a kutsak doeh.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 Tho awh, tabo laihoi bawk awh sei. BAWIPA na kasakkung hmalah khokcuengkhuem awh sei.
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 Ama teh maimae Cathut doeh. Maimouh hai ama koe ka pawngpa e a kut rahim e tuhu lah o awh.
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 Sahnin vah nangmouh teh a lawk na thai awh nahlangva na lungpatak sak hanh awh.
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 Nangmae mintoenaw ni kum 40 touh thung, kai hah aphunphun lah na tanouk awh teh, kaie thaw a hmunae kahrawngum vah, kai na taran awh teh, na tanouk awh e patetlah awm awh hanh leih.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Hote miphunnaw hah kai ni ka panuet teh, a lungthin lam pou ka payon e lah ao awh. Kaie lamthung hah panuek thai awh hoeh.
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Hatdawkvah, ka lungkhuek teh, kaie kâhatnae hmuen koe na kâen awh mahoeh, telah thoe ka bo.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
