Psalms 44
1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Korah caanawk ih Maskil. Aw Sithaw, naa hoi ka thaih o boeh; canghnii ah, nang mah nihcae khaeah na sak pae ih tok to, kam panawk mah ang thuih o boeh.
2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na ban hoiah na haek moe, kam panawk hanah to ahmuen to na paek; to kaminawk to na pacaekthlaek moe, kam panawk to na loisak.
3 For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
Nihcae mah to prae to sumsen hoiah pazawk o ai, angmacae bantha hoiah doeh pazawk o ai: toe nihcae to na palung pongah na bantang ban, na ban hoi na mikhmai aanghaih hoiah ni na pahlong.
4 You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
Aw Sithaw, nang loe ka Siangpahrang ah na oh; Jakob pahlonghaih lok to paek ah.
5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
Nang rang hoiah ka misanawk to hnuk kang nawn o sak moe, nangmah ih ahmin hoiah nihcae to ka tit o han.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
Kaimah ih kalii hae kang oep haih mak ai, ka sumsen mah doeh na pahlong mak ai.
7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
Toe kai hnuma kaminawk to na zatsak moe, kaicae to misanawk ban thung hoiah nang pahlong.
8 In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.
Kaicae loe athun qui Sithaw ah ni kam oek o, na hmin to dungzan khoek to ka saphaw o. (Selah)
9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
Toe vaihi loe nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, azat nang pawsak boeh; kaicae ih misatuh kaminawk hoi doeh nawnto na caeh ai boeh.
10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
Kaicae hae misa khae hoiah nam laemsak let: kaicae hnuma kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah amro o.
11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
Moicaak han suek ih tuu baktiah nang prawt sut boeh moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah nang haehsak phang.
12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
Nangmah ih kaminawk to atho kazoi ah na zawh, toe nihcae zawhhaih atho mah nang ih hmuenmae to pung kue mak ai.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
Ka imtaeng ih kaminawk mah kasaethuih han kahoih ah nang sak, ka imtaeng kaminawk mah kasaethuihaih hoi pahnuithuihaih to nang phawsak.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah patahhaih lok ah na thuih moe, minawk salakah lu haek thuih hanah nang sak.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
Na hmaa ah ni thokkruek ahmin ka set moe, ka mikhmai hae azathaih mah khuk khoep boeh,
16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
kasaethuih koeh kami hoi ahmin setsak koeh kami, lulak koeh kami hoi misanawk pongah ni, to tiah ka oh.
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
Hae hmuennawk boih kaicae nuiah phak; toe nang kang pahnet o ai, lok na maihaih doeh ka phrae o ai.
18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
Kaicae ih palungthin loe hnuk bangah amlaem ai moe, kaicae ih khoknawk doeh na loklam hoiah amkhraeng ai;
19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
toe tasuinawk ohhaih salakah nang tit moe, duekhaih tahlip hoiah nang kraeng khoep.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
Kaicae mah Sithaw ih ahmin ka pahnet o moe, prae kalah sithaw khaeah ban ka payangh o cadoeh,
21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
Sithaw loe palung thungah tamquta hoi poek ih hmuen to panoek pongah anih mah hnu mak ai maw?
22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
Ue, nang pongah athun qui duekhaih ka tong o; hum han ih tuu baktiah ang poek o.
23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
Aw Angraeng, anglawt lai ah, tipongah na iih loe? Angthawk ah, kaicae hae dungzan khoek to na haek hmah.
24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
Tipongah mikhmai na hawk ving moe, kaicae raihaih hoi patangkhanghaih to nang pahnet pae ving loe?
25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
Kaicae hinghaih loe maiphu thungah krak tathuk boeh moe, kaicae ih zok doeh long ah angbet caeng boeh.
26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
Kaicae abomh han angthawk ah loe, na palungnathaih hoiah kaicae hae na krang ah.
