< 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.
O Elohim Pathen, phat sottah masanga kapu kapateo khanglai a nanatoh nathil bolho eina seipeh u chu keiho tah in kanakol un kanajaove:
2 With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
Nangin nangma helou namtin vaipi ho naban thahat in nana deljam in agam leiset uchu kapu kapateo nanapen ahi. Nangin agalmiteo nana suhlhuh peh in kapu kapateo chu nana chamlhat sah in ahi.
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.
Amahon achemjam uva gal anajouva gam analah u ahipoi; aban thahat uva jong gal anajou ahipoi. Amavang nangma ban thahat leh namaivah chun gal nana jopeh ahibouve ajeh chu nangin amaho chu nana ngailun ahi.
4 You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
Nangma kalengpa le Elohim ka Pathen nahin nangin Israel te dingin gal nana jo peh tai.
5 Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
Nangma thahatna jal a bou kagal miteo kanungno jouvu ahin naming a bou keihon eidouhou kachotphao ahibouve.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
Keiman kathalpi kasongpoi, kachemjamin eihuhdoh dingjong kakinempoi.
7 For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
Nangma bouvin kagalmi teo chunga galjona neipeh u ahibouve, hitihin nangin eihotbol teo chu jumna napejin ahi.
8 In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.
O Elohim Pathen naloupina ho hi tantih neilou va ka samphon jing diu, chule a kumkho a ka thangvah jing diu ahi.
9 But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
Ahinla tunvang nangin jumthetna neipaidoh u ahitai. Nangin ka sepia hou jengjong neilamkai peh tapouve.
10 You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
Nangin kagalmi teu va kon in neinung jamsah un chuleh eidou houchu kagamsung u nalosah tai.
11 You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
Nangin kelngoiho bangin eikisat chen chen sah gamtaovin chitin vaipi lah a neithe thang gamtaove.
12 You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
Nangin nasahlut namitehi manbai tah in najohdoh in man neilouhel toh nabah sahtai.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
Nangin kaheng kakomhou noise neichansah taovin kavelluva mite taitom le houset dingbep in neikoitaove.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
Nangin amaho totthang hoina bepseo neihisah taovin isahlou tah in alu eihih khum taovin ahi.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
Ki taitom jingna a konhin kakile doh jouta pouvin kamai uva jumleh jachat mel kapu den taove.
16 at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
Kajah uhi eitaitomteo housetna thucheng ngen ahin, kamit uva kamu houhi ahileh kachunguva phula nom dougal mite ngen ahiuve.
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
Hichenghi kathoh jeng vangun keihon nangma kasumil deh pouvin ahi. Kitepna thuchengho jong kasukeh deh pouve.
18 Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
Kalung thim un nangma kanuse deh pouvin nalampia konin jong kajam mangdeh pouve.
19 But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
Hinlah nangin sial chenna neldi gam anei suchipden taove, nangin thina le muthim neikhu khum taove.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
I jemtia keihon Elohim ka Pathen u min kasuh mil uva ahilouleh gamdang semthu pathen houna a kakhut u kalhandoh khah uva ahileh,
21 would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
Elohim Pathen in ahet teiding ahi ajeh chu Aman mihem lungthim a thuguh jouse ahet ahi.
22 Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
Ahin, nangma jal in niseh in eiki thatnun; kelngoi bangin eiki that taove.
23 Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
O Yahweh Pakai hung thoudoh in ibol a na imut ham? Hung thoudoh in! neipaidoh pai pai hihbeh un.
24 Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
Ipidinga namai naheimang ham? Kathohgim naoleh eibolset naohi nanahsah lou hitam?
25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
Keiho leivui lah a kalhumat gam taove, bonlhoh lah a akhupbon kakijam taove.
26 Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
Hung kipatdoh inlang! Neikithopiuvin! Nami ngailutna longlou chun neihung lhatdoh taovin.
