Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Aw Khawsa, kawtih kumqui dyna nani qoek khqi? Ikawtih na qamno a sainaak awhkaw tuukhqik khan awh nak kaw a so aih.
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Ak kqym awhkaw thlang nak thlaihkhqi, namah ing tlan hyk ti, nang a qo ak pang thlangkhqi na awmnaak Zion tlang ce poek cang lah thoeih ti.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Vawhkaw kumqui dy ak plawcikhqi, na hun ciim awh na qaalkhqi ing a hawlaw vawhkaw seetnaak boeih benna nak kaw hawi lah.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
Nang ing kaimih na ning hqumnaak hun awh na qaalkhqi ing khy am kqang unawh; a mimah ang dyih hun simhatnaak ce ling uhy.
5 They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
Kqawng thing ak ding khyng ce hqaica ing a hlam sih amyihna awm uhy.
6 And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
Kut ing ami suk biit biit ik-oeihkhqi boeih hqaica ing deh pheng uhy.
7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.
Na hun ciim ce dawi unawh tluk sak uhy; Nang ming a awmnaak hun ce tyih awm sak uhy.
8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Ak kawk khuiawh, “A cuna nawi hoem u sih!” ti uhy. Qam khui awhkaw Khawsa bawknaak imkhqi boeih ce dawi uhy.
9 We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Kawpoek kyi hatnaak kaimih a venawh ikawmyih awm am awm hy; tawnghakhqi awm am awm voel hawh nawh, handy nu vemyihna a awm khing kaw tice u ingawm am sim hy.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Aw Khawsa, handy awh nu na qaalkhqi ing anik kqawn set kaw? anik qaalnaak ing nang ming ce kqawn seet hly let hawh unawh nu?
11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
Ikawtih nak tang kut ben ce nak dawh tlaih? Na hibai ak khui awhkawng na kut ce soeng nawhtaw cekkhqi ce him hlah.
12 Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Cehlai, Aw Khawsa nang taw ak kqym awhkawng kai a sangpahrang na awm hyk ti; nang ing khawmdek awh hulnaak hawlaw hyk ti.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Nang ing ni tuicunli ce nak thaawmnaak ing pek a bo nawh, tui khuiawh ak awm qaihkhqui a lukhqi ce kqek pe sak hyk ti.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Nang ing ni Leviathan a lukhqi ve vyk pe kqek kqek nawh qamkoh awhkaw qamsa ham buh na be hyk ti.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Nang ing ni tui bym ingkaw lawngca tuikhqi phyt sak nawh; lawngnu tuipakhqi awm kak sak qup qup hyk ti.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Khawkdai ve nang a koena awm nawh, khawmthan awm nang a koe ni; nang ing khawmik ingkaw pihla ce sai hyk ti.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
Nang ing ni khawmdek awhkaw a qi a mawngkhqi boeih na syn hy; khawhqai ingkaw chikca awm sai hyk ti.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
Aw Bawipa, na qaal ing ikawmyihna ani thenaak tice sim loet lah, thlakqawkhqi ing nang ming ami seet ami bat ce.
19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
Na kqukkqu a hqingnaak ce qam sak tlungkhqi venawh koeh pe; namah a khawdeng khuikha thlangkhqi a hqingnaak kumqui dyna koeh hilh.
20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Na paipi ce sim lah, kawtih khawboe seetnaak ing qam khui awhkaw thannaak boeih ce sing hawh hy.
21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Ak khuikha thlangkhqi ak kawboet ce sing hawh hy, khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauhkhqi ing nang ming ce kyihcah lah u seh.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
Aw Khawsa, hang dyi nawhtaw na ik-oeih sai ce hul lah; thlakqawkhqi ing a poepa na ani thenaak ce sim loet lah.
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
Na qaalkhqi a tym awi ce ang ngai ngak kana koeh awm, a boet kana ak khy ak kqang na qaalkhqi ak awi ce.
