Psalms 74
1 O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut bangkongmaw na pahnawt vaw. Bangkongmaw na saring a pânae koe e na tuhunaw taranlahoi na lungkhueknae hmaikhu a pâyam rah bo vaw.
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.
Kamkhueng e tamimaya, yampa na ran e, râw lah na pang e miphun, na ratang e naw heh pahnim hanh.
3 Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
Raphoe tangcoung e hmuen koe tho haw. Hmuen kathoung dawk e hno pueng hah taran ni koung a raphoe toe.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
Na taminaw a kamkhuengnae hmuen koe, na tarannaw teh a hramki awh teh, mitnoutnaw hah a vo awh.
5 They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
Ratu thing ka tâtueng hane patetlah, cakânaw teh a palik awh.
6 And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
Dongdengca dawk bawkim hnonaw hah amamae cakâ, cakkinnaw hoi a raphoe awh.
7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
Thoungnae hmuen hah hmai a sawi awh teh, na min onae hmuen hah a khin sak awh toe.
8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Koung raphoe awh sei ati awh teh, ram thung e Cathut bawknae hmuen pueng hah hmai koung a sawi awh.
9 We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.
Kaimouh teh mae mitnoutnae ka hmawt awh hoeh toe. Profet hai awm hoeh toe. Bangkong han nama aw, telah kapanuekkung kaimouh koe awm hoeh toe.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?
Oe Cathut, bangkongmaw na tarannaw ni na pathoe han. Taran ni na min pou a pacekpahlek han na maw.
11 Why do thou draw back thy hand, even thy right hand? Remove it from the midst of thy bosom.
Bangkongmaw na kut aranglae hah na dâw hoeh vaw. Bout dâw nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung raphoe haw.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Cathut teh ayan hoi talai taminaw koe rungngangnae kasakkung kaie Siangpahrang doeh.
13 Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Na thaonae lahoi talîpui hah na kapek teh, tui thung tuitamnaw e lû hah na khoe pouh.
14 Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Leviathan lû hah koung na khoe pouh teh, kahrawng kaawmnaw ni ca hanelah na poe.
15 Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.
Tuikhu hoi palangnaw hah na palang pouh teh, palangpuinaw hah na hak sak.
16 The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
Khodai hoi karum hai nange doeh Kanî hoi angnae hah na sak toe.
17 Thou have set all the borders of the earth. Thou have made summer and winter.
Talai khori pueng hai thoseh, kompawi hoi kasik pueng hai thoseh na sak toe.
18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Jehovah, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.
Oe BAWIPA, taran ni na pathoe e hoi tamipathunaw ni na min a pacekpahlek e hah pahnim hanh.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast. Forget not the life of thy poor forever.
Oe, na bakhu hringnae heh sarang koe poe hanh. Ka mathoe e na taminaw e hringnae heh a yungyoe pahnim hanh.
20 Have respect to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Lawkkam hah bari haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai a hmonae hmuennaw hah rektap lawpnae hoi akawi.
21 O let not he who is oppressed return ashamed. Let a poor and needy man praise thy name.
Oe, repcoungroe e naw heh, kaya laihoi ban sak hanh. Mathoe hoi a reikathainaw ni na min pholen naseh.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches thee all the day.
Oe Cathut, thaw nateh, na kong hah kangdoutkhai haw. Tamipathu ni hnintangkuem na pathoe e hah pahnim hanh.
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.
Na tarannaw lawk heh pahnim hanh. Nang na ka tarannaw e ruengruengtinae lawk teh hoehoe a kampaw e hah pahnim hanh.
