Psalms 48
1 A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe lensawk pongah, ciimcai Angmah ih mae hoi aicae Sithaw ih vangpui ah lensawkhaih hoiah pakoeh han oh.
2 The city of the great King is well planted [on] the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, [on] the sides of the north.
Aluek bangah kaom, lensawk Siangpahrang ih vangpui, long boih anghoehaih Zion mae loe, kranghoih parai.
3 God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.
Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
4 For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.
Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
5 They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.
Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
6 Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
Nihcae loe to ahmuen ah zithaih hoiah oh o, nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, pauep o,
7 You will break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.
ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
8 As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. (Pause)
Aicae mah a thaih o ih baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw ih vangpui hoi misatuh Angraeng ih vangpui thungah, a hnuk o boeh; to ahmuen loe Sithaw mah dungzan khoek to caksak tih. (Selah)
9 We have thought of your mercy, O God, in the midst of your people.
Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
10 According to your name, O God, so is also your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.
Na hmin amthang baktih toengah, aw Sithaw, nang saphawhaih loe long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh; na bantang ban loe toenghaih hoiah koi.
11 Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of your judgements, O Lord.
Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
12 Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell you her towers.
Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
13 Mark you well her strength, and observe her palaces; that you may tell the next generation.
angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
14 For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
