< Psalms 48 >
1 A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe lensawk pongah, ciimcai Angmah ih mae hoi aicae Sithaw ih vangpui ah lensawkhaih hoiah pakoeh han oh.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
Aluek bangah kaom, lensawk Siangpahrang ih vangpui, long boih anghoehaih Zion mae loe, kranghoih parai.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
Nihcae loe to ahmuen ah zithaih hoiah oh o, nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, pauep o,
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
Aicae mah a thaih o ih baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw ih vangpui hoi misatuh Angraeng ih vangpui thungah, a hnuk o boeh; to ahmuen loe Sithaw mah dungzan khoek to caksak tih. (Selah)
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Na hmin amthang baktih toengah, aw Sithaw, nang saphawhaih loe long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh; na bantang ban loe toenghaih hoiah koi.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
13 Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
