< Psalms 94 >

1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
Aw Bawipa, lu ak lokung Khawsa, lu ak lokung Aw Khawsa, vang pheng lah.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
Aw Khawmdek awi ak dengkung, tho lah; ak oek qukhqi ce a nai a koem na thung lah.
3 How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
Thlakchekhqi iqyt dy, Aw Bawipa, thlakche khqi iqyt dy ami hoel poeng kaw?
4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
Oek qunaak ak awi sa unawh; thlakchekhqi ing oek qunaak ak awi ing be uhy.
5 They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
Aw Bawipa, nak thlangkhqi ce phep a re unawh; na qo ak pangkhqi ce the a kha na uhy.
6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
Nuhaikhqi ingkaw khinkhqi ce him unawh, pa ak naikhqi ce him uhy.
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
Bawipa ing am hu hy; Jacob a Khawsa ing kawna am sui hy,” ti uhy.
8 Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
Nangmih thlang khqing lak awh poeknaak amak takhqi aw, poek hqeet lah thaw voei uk ti; nangmih thlakqaw tloek aw, ityk awh nami cyih kaw?
9 He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
Haa ak saikung ing am za hly nawh nu? Mik ak saikung ing am hu hly nawh nu?
10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
Pilnam thlang ak cawngpyikung ing am toel hly nawh nu? Thlang ak cawngpyikung ce cyihnaak voet nawh hy voei nu?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
Thlanghqing ak kawpoek Bawipa ing sim nawh; cekkhqi taw zilh mai ni tice sim hy.
12 Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
Aw Bawipa, nang ing nam cuuk thlangkhqi taw a zoseen hy, nang a anaa awi ak cawngkhqi taw a zoseen hy;
13 to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
thlakche aham lawk-kqawng ak co na a awm hlan dy kyinaak khawnghi ak khui awhkawng cekhqi ce hawih khangnaak pe hyk ti.
14 For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
Ikawtih, Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi cetaw am qoek tang; a qo ak pang hly tyng thlangkhqi ce am hlah tikaw.
15 Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
Awidengnaak ce dyngnaak awh awm kawmsaw, kawlung ak dyng thlangkhqi boeih ing ce ce hquut kawm uh.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Thlakche ak tuk aham ka ham u nu ak dyi kaw? Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ce u ing nu a oelh law lah voei?
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
Bawipa ing ama nik pyi mantaw, thihnaak dek khuiawh ni ka awm hly hawh hy.
18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
Kai ing, Ka khaw bah hy,” ka ti awh ce, Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak ing nim thawh hy.
19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
Ka kawpoek a kyi soeih awh, nang ngaihqepnaak ing ka hqingnaak zeel sak hy.
20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
Ak awi tlyhnaak ing kyinaak pe nawh, ak plawci thai boei ngawihdoelh ingkaw nang anglakawh phaqunaak ak awm hly thai aw?
21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
Cekhqi ing za qu unawh thlakdyng ce tuk uhy, ak awm dym ce thih ham dyna dawk sak uhy.
22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
Cehlai Bawipa taw kai a vawngbau cak na awm nawh, kai kang thuknaak lungnu taw Khawsa ni.
23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
Cekkhqi a thawlhnaak ce thung pe kawmsaw ak che sainaak awh cekkhqi ce hqe kaw; Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce hqe kaw.
