Psalms 81
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself. Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully 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 a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.
Tumding tum unawh, poeng ak beei khoek lah uh, ak awi ak ding tingtoeng ingkaw qaw tingtoeng ing kyihcah lah uh.
3 Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,
Pihla a thei nyn awh tuu’m cai ak ki yng unawh pihla a lum awh ce, ningnih a khawnghig nyn awh;
4 for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.
Ve ve Israelkhqi ham awipeek na awm hy, Jacob a Khawsa bawknaak awipeek na awm hy.
5 He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.
Ningmih ing am ning zaak sim awi ningzak naak Izip qam na a ceh awh, Joseph aham awipeek amyihna cak pe sak hy.
6 He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.
Anih ing ak phleng awhkaw phyihqih ce khoe pe nawh; ami kutkhqi ing vaihqang awm am nen sak voel nyng.
7 You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.
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 My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
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 then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign 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 For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
Kai taw Izip qam awhkawng nangmih ak hquikung, Bawipa na Khawsa na awm nyng.
11 But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
Cehlai kak thlangkhqi ing kak awi am ngai uhy; Israel ing ka venawh am ap qu uhy.
12 And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
A mimah am thinsahnaak amyihna a mimah a ngaihnaak hqut aham hlah khqi hyt nyng.
13 If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
Kak thlangkhqi ing kak awi mah aming ngai mantaw, Israel ing ka lam ve mah a hqut mantaw,
14 I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
a qaalkhqi ce ang tawnna noeng pe nyng saw a qaalkhqi benna ka kut ve hlah pe voei nyng!
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.
Bawipa ak sawhnaak thlangkhqi ce a haiawh kqih doena kyn hqoeng kawm uh, a mingmih a toelnaak ce kumqui dyna awm hawh kaw.
16 And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with 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.
