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.
Kathutkung: Asaph Maimae thaonae Cathut koe kacaipounglah la sak awh. Jakop Cathut koe konawm laihoi hram awh.
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
La sak awh nateh cecak hah khawng awh. A lawk kahawi e ratoung tamawi hah kueng awh.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Thapa rei hnin, kamhluem hnin, pawi hnin vah mongka ueng awh.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hethateh, Isarelnaw hanlah phunglam lah ao teh, Jakop Cathut kâlawk lah ao.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Hethateh, Izip ram pueng a cei awh teh, thai panuek hoeh e lawk thainae hmuen koevah, lawkpanuesaknae Joseph koe a sak e doeh.
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
A loung dawk a hrawm e hnori hah a puen pouh teh, a kut hoi a tawm e a bawm hah a kuem pouh.
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.
Rucat navah na kaw teh na rungngang awh. khoparitnae hmuen koehoi na pato awh teh, Meribah tui koehoi na tanouk awh. (Selah)
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
Oe ka taminaw thai awh haw, lawk na thui vai. Oe Isarel ka lawk tarawi awh haw.
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Miphun louk cathut nangmouh koe awm mahoeh. Miphun louk cathut na bawk awh mahoeh.
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Kai teh Cathut Jehovah, Izip ram hoi na kahrawikung doeh. Ka kaw lah na pahni ang awh nateh, ka kawi sak han.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
Hatei, ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai awh hoeh. Isarelnaw ni banglahai na pouk awh hoeh.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Amamae lungpatanae koe ka poe teh, amamouh ngai patetlah ao awh.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
Oe ka taminaw ni ka lawk hah ngai boilah, Isarel ni ka lamthung dawn haw pawiteh khe.
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
A taran tang ka tâ pouh vaiteh, ahnimouh katarankungnaw koe ka kut ka dâw pouh han eite.
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
BAWIPA kahmuhmanaw ni a hmalah kâhet awh vaiteh, ka taminaw teh pou a kangning awh han eite.
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Kahawi poung e tavai hoi ka kawk vaiteh, lungsong thung e khoitui hoi a lungkhuekti sak han eite.
