Psalms 74
1 An instruction: of Asaph. Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Asaph kah Hlohlai Pathen aw ba aih. nim yoeyah la na hlahpham aih? Na thintoek loh na rhamtlim kah boiva taengah mawngmawng khuu.
2 Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed [to be] the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Hlamat kah na lai na hlangboel khaw, na rho la na tlan koca khaw, kho na sak thil Zion tlang te khaw poek lah.
3 Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.
Hmuen cim khuikah thunkha rhoek te yoeyah pocinah neh boeih talh ham na khokan te pomsang lah.
4 Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs [for] signs.
Nang kah tingtunnah khui ah nang aka daengdaeh rhoek te kawk uh tih miknoek khaw amamih kah miknoek te a khueh uh.
5 [A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;
Thing ding ah a so la hai aka thueng bangla tueng.
6 And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.
Tedae hai neh a thuk a thingthuk boeih khaw thilung neh nawn a phop uh.
7 They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.
Na rhokso te hmai neh a hoeh uh tih na ming aka phuei tolhmuen te diklai duela a poeih uh.
8 They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land.
A lungbuei nen tah, “Rhenten m'phae coeng,” a ti uh tih, diklai ah Pathen kah tingtunnah boeih te a hoeh uh.
9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Mahmih kah miknoek khaw m'hmu uh pawh. Tonghm a om voelpawt tih mamih khuiah aka ming thai he mevaeng hil nim a om pawt ve?
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever?
Pathen tah me hil nim rhal loh a veet vetih thunkha loh na ming he a yoeyah la a tlaitlaek ve?
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them].
Balae tih na kut na yueh. Na rhang kah na oltlueh khui lamloh na bantang kut neh khap kanoek saw.
12 But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth.
Tedae Pathen he hlamat lamkah diklai tollung ah khangnah aka saii ka manghai pai ni.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:
Namah loh tuitunli te na sarhi neh na kak sak tih tui tuihnam rhoek kah a lu te na phop pah.
14 Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.
Nang loh Leviathan kah a lu te na neet tih kohong ham neh pilnam ham caak la na paek.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
Namah loh tuisih soklong khaw na hep tih tuiva puei khaw na haang sak.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun:
Khothaih khaw namah kah, khoyin khaw namah kah, vangnah neh khomik khaw namah loh na soep na boe.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter — thou didst form them.
Namah loh diklai kah rhilung boeih na suem tih khohal neh sikca khaw namah loh na hlinsai.
18 Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name.
BOEIPA aka veet thunkha neh na ming yah aka bai pilnam ang he poek lah.
19 Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.
Na vahui kah a hinglu te satlung taengla na pae pawt tih na mangdaeng rhoek kah a hingnah khaw a yoeyah la na hnilh moenih.
20 Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence.
Kuthlahnah rhamtlim te diklai khohmuep khuiah a baetawt dongah paipi te paelki laeh.
21 Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name.
Mangdaeng hmaithae khaw hlanghnaep pahnap la mael boel saeh lamtah na ming te khodaeng rhoek loh thangthen uh saeh.
22 Rise up, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;
Pathen aw thoo laeh. Namah kah tuituknah khaw oelh van laeh. Hlang ang loh hnin takuem nang n'kokhahnah ke thoelh laeh.
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
Nang aka daengdaeh rhoek kah ol te na hnilh moenih. Nang aka tlai thil rhoek kah longlonah tah cet yoeyah.
