Psalms 81
1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith. Of Asaph. Make a song to God our strength: make a glad cry to the God of Jacob.
Ningmih a Khawsa thak awm soeih a venawh zeel doena laa sa lah uh; Jacob a Khawsa venawh khawteh na khy lah uh!
2 Take up the melody, playing on an instrument of music, even on corded instruments.
Tumding tum unawh, poeng ak beei khoek lah uh, ak awi ak ding tingtoeng ingkaw qaw tingtoeng ing kyihcah lah uh.
3 Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:
Pihla a thei nyn awh tuu’m cai ak ki yng unawh pihla a lum awh ce, ningnih a khawnghig nyn awh;
4 For this is a rule for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Ve ve Israelkhqi ham awipeek na awm hy, Jacob a Khawsa bawknaak awipeek na awm hy.
5 He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.
Ningmih ing am ning zaak sim awi ningzak naak Izip qam na a ceh awh, Joseph aham awipeek amyihna cak pe sak hy.
6 I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.
Anih ing ak phleng awhkaw phyihqih ce khoe pe nawh; ami kutkhqi ing vaihqang awm am nen sak voel nyng.
7 You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Ngaihkyi doena nik khy tiksaw nim hlat nyng, khawhum ak khui awhkawng nim hlat khqi nyng saw, Meribah tui awhkawng ni noekdak khqi nyng.
8 Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!
Aw kak thlangkhqi, ngai lah uh, ngaihtaaknaak awi nik kqawn pek khqi vang – Aw Israel, kak awi ve ngai lah thaw voei uk ti!
9 There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.
Qap chang a khawsa ce nangmih anglak li awh koeh ta kawm u tiksaw; thalk chang a khawsa a venawh koeh ta kawm uk ti.
10 I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.
Kai taw Izip qam awhkawng nangmih ak hquikung, Bawipa na Khawsa na awm nyng.
11 But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.
Cehlai kak thlangkhqi ing kak awi am ngai uhy; Israel ing ka venawh am ap qu uhy.
12 So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
A mimah am thinsahnaak amyihna a mimah a ngaihnaak hqut aham hlah khqi hyt nyng.
13 If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!
Kak thlangkhqi ing kak awi mah aming ngai mantaw, Israel ing ka lam ve mah a hqut mantaw,
14 I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.
a qaalkhqi ce ang tawnna noeng pe nyng saw a qaalkhqi benna ka kut ve hlah pe voei nyng!
15 The haters of the Lord would be broken, and their destruction would be eternal.
Bawipa ak sawhnaak thlangkhqi ce a haiawh kqih doena kyn hqoeng kawm uh, a mingmih a toelnaak ce kumqui dyna awm hawh kaw.
16 I would give them the best grain for food; you would be full of honey from the rock.
Cehlai nang ingtaw buh ak tui soeih ai kawm tiksaw, lungkaw awhkaw khawitui ing nak phoen ni phyi sak kawng nyng,” tihy.
