Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
[Aka mawt ham Asaph kah Gittith] Mamih kah sarhi Pathen taengah tamhoe uh lamtah Jakob Pathen taengah yuhui uh lah.
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Oldi te phoh uh lamtah kamrhing rhotoeng neh dingsuek thangpa tum uh.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Hlasae, hlalum vaengkah mamih khotue hnin ah tuki te ueng uh lah.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Hekah he Israel ham Jakob Pathen kah laitloeknah oltlueh coeng ni.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Ka yak ming mueh ol, Egypt kho la a caeh vaengah Joseph ham a khueh olphong ni.
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
A laengpang dongkah hnorhih te ka khoe pah tih a kut khaw voh khui lamkah loeih.
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Citcai khuiah nan khue tih nang kan pumcum sak. Khohum hlip lamkah nang kan doo tih Meribah tui ah nang kan loep kan dak. (Selah)
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
Ka pilnam loh hnatun lamtah kai ol te na hnatun atah Israel nang taengah ka laipai ni.
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Na khuiah rhalawt pathen om boel saeh lamtah kholong pathen te bawk boeh.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Kai tah Egypt kho lamkah nang aka doek na Pathen YAHWEH ni. Na ka ang lamtah kan hah sak eh.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
Tedae ka pilnam loh ka ol he ya pawt tih Israel loh kai taengah naep pawh.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Te dongah amih te lungbuei thinthahnah taengla ka hlah tih amih kah cilkhih dongah pongpa uh.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
Ka pilnam loh kai taengah hnatang koinih ka longpuei te Israel loh a vai sui dae.
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
A thunkha rhoek te a loe la ka kunyun sak vetih a rhal te ka kut neh ka thuung pah suidae.
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
BOEIPA kah a lunguet rhoek loh anih taengah mai a tum uh vetih amih kah khohnin khaw kumhal duela puh suidae.
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Tedae cang tha te anih a cah suitih lungpang khui lamkah khoitui nang kang kum sak sue.
