Psalms 79
1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.
Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut, miphun louknaw teh nange râw thung a kâen awh teh, Bawkim kathoung a khin sak awh teh, Jerusalem hah a raphoe awh toe.
2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.
Na sannaw e ro hah kalvan tavanaw rawca lah a poe awh teh, na tami kathoungnaw e moi teh kahrawng sarangnaw a paca awh.
3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.
A thipaling teh Jerusalem vah tui patetlah a rabawk awh teh, kapakawpkung buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.
Imrinaw ni pathoe e lah ka o awh teh, tengpam e naw ni na dudam awh teh na panuikhai awh.
5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?
BAWIPA nâtotouh ne na lungkhuek han vai. Nâtotouh ne na lung roum laipalah, hmai patetlah a kak han vai.
6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
Nang panue hane ka ngai hoeh e miphun hoi na min ka kaw ngaihoeh e ram koevah, na lungkhueknae hah awi haw.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jakop catoun hah a kâphi awh teh, ahnie hmuen hai a raphoe awh.
8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.
Oe, ayan e payonnae hah kaimouh taran nahanelah pâkuem hanh, na lungmanae ni karang poung lah na kabawm naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, puenghoi rahnoum sak lah ka o awh toe.
9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.
Oe rungngangnae Cathut, na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na min lentoe nahan lah na rungngang haw. Na min kecu dawk ka yonnae hah yonthanae na sak pouh haw.
10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:
Bangkong alouke miphunnaw ni, nâmouh ahnimae Cathut te, ati awh. Na sannaw e thipaling phu moi na pathung e hah ka mithmu vah miphun pueng ni, panuek awh naseh.
11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.
Thongkabawtnaw kâhramnae lawk teh, nang koe phat naseh. Ka lentoe e na hnotithainae patetlah due hanlah a pouk awh e hah, hlout sak haw.
12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.
Oe Jehovah, na min a mathoesaknae hah, ka imrinaw e phai dawk roeroe vah, let sari touh hoi patho haw.
13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
Hottelah, nang koe ka pawngpa awh e, tuhu lah kaawm e na tami kaimanaw ni nang teh pou na pholen awh vaiteh, pholennae teh, se pueng koe ka pâpho awh han.
