< Psalms 48 >
1 A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
Kathutkung: Korah capanaw BAWIPA teh a lentoe poung. Cathut khopui dawk lentoe poung lah, amae mon kathoung dawk pholen hanlah a kamcu.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Zion mon atunglah kaawm e teh arasang teh a meihawi.
3 God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
Cathut teh a im dawkvah ao teh, a kânguenae rapan tie panue lah ao.
4 For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrangnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, cungtalah a dei awh.
5 They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
A hmu awh toteh, a kalue awh teh koung a yawng awh.
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
Kanîtholah e kahlî hoi Tarshish long kalennaw ouk a raphoe e patetlah,
7 With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
Haw tueng vah, takinae ni a man awh teh, napui camokhe pataw e patetlah a man awh.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. (Selah)
Panue awh tangcoung e hoi hmu awh tangcoung e patetlah, ransahu BAWIPA khopui, maimae Cathut khopui teh, Cathut ni a yungyoe hanelah a caksak han.
9 We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
Oe Cathut, na bawkim lungui vah, na pahrenlungmanae ouk ka pouk awh.
10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Oe Cathut, na min patetlah nang pholennae ni, talai pout totouh a pha teh, nange aranglae kut teh lannae hoi akawi.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Na lawkcengnae dawkvah, Zion mon teh lunghawi naseh, Zion canu hai konawm naseh.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
Zion hah lawngven awh nateh, imrasangnaw hah parei awh haw.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
Sekatha dawk kaawm han rae naw koe patuen na dei thai awh nahanlah, kalupnae hah pâkuem awh nateh, siangpahrang imnaw hah pouk awh haw.
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh a yungyoe maimae Cathut doeh. Ahni teh maimouh due totouh hai na kahrawikung lah ao.
