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.
Aw Khawsa ka ming haa ing zahawh unyng; ka pakhqi ami hqing tloek awh ak kqym awh nang ing na sai peekkhqi ce kaimih a venawh kqawn hawh uhy.
2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
Na kut ing nang ngawh thlangphyn khqi thlak khqi pheng nawh ka pakhqi ce dyih sak hyk ti; thlangkhqi ce hqe nawh ka pakhqi ce kqeng sak hyk ti.
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.
Zawzi ing cekkhqi a qam ce am noeng unawh, ami bantha ingawm am noeng uhy; nang ak tang ben, nang a baan, ak vang nang a haai ing ni, kawtih cekkhqi ce nang ing lungna hyk ti.
4 You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
Nang taw ka sangpahrang ingkaw ka Khawsa na awm hyk ti, Jacob aham na noengnaak awi ak pekung na awm hyk ti.
5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
Namah ak caming kaimih ing ka qaalkhqi huna nawn sak unyng; namah ang ming ing ka qaalkhqi ce leh unyng.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
Ka licung ve am ypna nyng saw, kak zawzi ingawm amni noeng sak hy;
7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
Cehlai, ka qaalkhqik khan awh noengnaak ce ni pe nawh, ka thunkhakhqi ce chah phyih sak hyk ti.
8 In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.
Myngawi Khawsa awh oek qu kang nyng saw, nang ming ce kumqui dyna kyihcah kawng unyng.
9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
Cehlai tuh taw ni qoek nawh ak kai dyt na ni ta hawh hyk ti; ka qaalkapkhqi ingawm am cet haih voel hyk ti.
10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
Ka qaal a haiawh hu na ning thoeih sak nawh, ka thunkhakhqi ing ni him khqi pheng hy.
11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
Tuu amyihna daih aham ni hlah hyt tiksaw pilnam thlang venawh ni thek ni zak hyk ti.
12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
Nak thlangkhqi ce a phu ak zawi cana zawi hlai hyk ti, zawih phu awm am awm lawk a he hy.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
Ka imcengkhqi am theet hly hqoeng na ni sai tiksaw, ka keng thlangkhqi a thekha qaihnaak ni phyih sak hyk ti.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
Pilnam anglakawh thlang ak kqawn hly kqoeng na ni sai tiksaw; thlang ing a lu nik kqek sih hy.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
Na haiawh myngawi kang ming se nawh, ka haai ve chahnaak ing sing khoep hy,
16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
ak che na nik kqawn seet nawh, lu lawh aham ak caika qaalkhqi a dawngawh ni.
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
Nang ce am nim hilh unyng saw na paipi awm a sawhqat na am sai thai unyng; vemyihkhqi boeih ve kaimih a venawh pha law hy.
18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
Kamik kawlungkhqi huna am thoeih nawh; kami khawkhqi awm na lam awhkawng am pleng hy.
19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
Cehlai kqawng uikhqi a hqip thek thyk aham nang ing ni nam qap nawh thannaak ing ni sing khoep hyk ti.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
Ka Khawsa ang ming ce hilh unawh qapchang khawsa a venawh kut kami phyl mantaw,
21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
kawlung ak hyp zani ak simkung, Khawsa ing am hu kawm nu?
22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
Cehlai, nang awh myngawi thihnaak hu unyng; him ham kawina ak awm tuu amyihna ning ngai uhy.
23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
Aw Bawipa, hqyng lah! Ikawtih, na ih hy voei? Kqoek qu lah! Kaimih ve kumqui dyna koeh ni hqek khqi.
24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
Ikawtih, na haai thuh nawh kaimih a kyinaak ingkaw khuikhanaak ve nam hilh hy voei?
25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
Dekvai awh nung tla unawh; dek awh kami pum ve bet qu qap hawh hy.
26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
Tho nawhtaw kaimih ve nik pyi khqi lah; amak dyt thai na lungnaak awh kaimih ve ni hul khqi lah.
