< Psalms 68 >
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.
[Aka mawt ham David kah tingtoeng laa] Pathen he thoo vetih a thunkha rhoek taekyak uh mako. A lunguet rhoek khaw a mikhmuh lamkah rhaelrham uh mako.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Halang rhoek he Pathen hmai ah hmaikhu a yah bangla na yah vetih, hmai hmai ah khoirhat a paci bangla milh uh saeh.
3 But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
Tedae hlang dueng rhoek tah kohoenah neh Pathen hmai ah a sundaep neh a kohoe uh saeh lamtah ngaingaih uh saeh.
4 Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him!
Pathen te hlai lamtah a ming te tingtoeng uh lah. Vaan kolken dongah aka ngol BOEIPA ming te pomsang uh lamtah a hmai ah sundaep uh.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Amah kah khuirhung hmuencim ah aka om Pathen tah cadah rhoek kah a napa neh nuhmai rhoek kah laitloekkung la om.
6 God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
Pathen loh oingaih cangloeng te imlo neh kho a sak sak tih thongtla rhoek te lolmangcil neh a khuen. Tedae thinthah rhoek tah rhamrhae ah kho a sak uh.
7 God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
Pathen aw na pilnam hmai ah na caeh vaengah, khopong la na luei vaengah. (Selah)
8 The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Israel Pathen, Pathen hmai ah, Sinai Pathen hmai ah, diklai he hinghuen tih vaan khaw cip.
9 You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
Pathen namah loh kothoh khonal nan suep tih thahnoeng khaw na rho neh na thoh.
10 Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
Pathen nang loh mangdaeng ham na hnothen te na soepboe pah tih a khuiah na hingnah loh kho a sak uh.
11 The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are a great company.
Ka Boeipa loh a olkhueh te a paek tih olthangthen aka phong caempuei khaw len.
12 “Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
Manghai rhoek kah caempuei loh yong rhoela yong uh tih im kah toitlim te kutbuem la a tael.
13 while you sleep among the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
Tuvong ah na yalh uh vaengkah te, cak neh a hluk vahui phae, sui hing neh a hluk phaemul van pawn ni.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
Tlungthang Pathen loh a khuikah manghai rhoek a taek a yak vaengah Zalmon ah vuel bo.
15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
Pathen kah tlang, Bashan tlang, Bashan tlang kah tlang som rhoek,
16 Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
Ba dongah tlang som rhoek loh na pangoe uh. Tekah tlang te Pathen amah loh khosak thil ham a nai tih BOEIPA loh yoeyah la kho a sak thil ni.
17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
Pathen kah leng tah a rhaepnah thawng thawngrha lo. Hmuencim kah aka om Sinai kah amih lakli ah Boeipa om.
18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among people, yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
Hmuen sang la na luei tih tamna rhoek na sol vaengah BOEIPA Pathen namah loh khosak puei ham hlang taeng neh thinthah rhoek taengkah kutdoe pataeng na doe.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Ka Boeipa tah a hnin, hnin ah a yoethen pai saeh. Mamih kah khangnah Pathen tah mamih ham thinrhih coeng. (Selah)
20 God is to us a God of deliverance. To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.
Mamih kah Pathen tah khangnah Pathen la om tih, ka Boeipa Yahovah taengah dueknah lamkah longrhael khaw om.
21 But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
Amah kah tholhnah neh aka pongpa tah Pathen loh thunkha lu bangla a luki sam soah a phop ni.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
Ka Boeipa loh, “Bashan lamkah kam bal puei vetih tuitunli kah a laedil lamkah kam mael puei ni.
23 that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
Te vaengah thunkha lamkah thii na kho na nuem thil te na ui rhoek loh a lai neh a laeh uh vetih, amih kah rhuimal khaw na pang uh ni,” a ti.
24 They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
Pathen namah kah lambong rhoek, ka Pathen, ka manghai kah lambong rhoek loh hmuencim la a khong uh te a hmuh uh coeng.
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, among the ladies playing with tambourines,
Laa sa rhoek loh lamhma uh tih a hnukthoi loh a tumbael a tum, a laklung kah hula rhoek loh toemrhang a tum uh.
26 “Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly of Israel!”
Pathen te khangkhung lakli ah, BOEIPA te Israel thunsih ah uem lah.
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
Canoi Benjamin loh Judah mangpa hlangkuk rhoek, Zebulun mangpa rhoek, Naphtali mangpa rhoek te a taemrhai.
28 Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
Pathen namah loh na sarhi te uen lamtah kaimih ham na saii bangla Pathen namah te mah tanglue lah.
29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
Na bawkim rhang neh manghai rhoek loh nang ham kutdoe te Jerusalem la hang khuen uh ni.
30 Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
Capu mulhing ke tluung lah. Pilnam saelca rhoek neh aka lueng rhaengpuei khaw cak boeng neh a san thil. Caemrhal aka ngaih pilnam rhoek khaw a haeh.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
Egypt lamkah laipai rhoek halo uh ni. Kusah loh Pathen taengah a kut a duen ni.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord— (Selah)
Diklai ram rhoek loh Pathen te hlai uh lamtah ka Boeipa te tingtoeng uh. (Selah)
33 to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
Hlamat lamkah vaan dong vaan dongah aka ngol loh a ol neh sarhi ol a paek coeng ke.
34 Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
Pathen kah sarhi te doek uh lah. A hoemnah neh khomong dongkah a sarhi tah Israel soah om.
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
Pathen namah kah rhokso ah a rhih om pai. Israel Pathen amah loh pilnam taengah sarhi neh thadueng a paek. Pathen tah a yoethen pai saeh.
