Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
Aka mawt ham Asaph kah Gittith Mamih kah sarhi Pathen taengah tamhoe uh lamtah Jakob Pathen taengah yuhui uh lah.
2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
Oldi te phoh uh lamtah kamrhing rhotoeng neh dingsuek thangpa tum uh.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
Hlasae, hlalum vaengkah mamih khotue hnin ah tuki te ueng uh lah.
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
Hekah he Israel ham Jakob Pathen kah laitloeknah oltlueh coeng ni.
5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Ka yakming mueh ol, Egypt kho la a caeh vaengah Joseph ham a khueh olphong ni.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
A laengpang dongkah hnorhih te ka khoe pah tih a kut khaw voh khui lamkah loeih.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Citcai khuiah nan khue tih nang kan pumcum sak. Khohum hlip lamkah nang kan doo tih Meribah tui ah nang kan loep kan dak. (Selah)
8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
Ka pilnam loh hnatun lamtah kai ol te na hnatun atah Israel nang taengah ka laipai ni.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
Na khuiah rhalawt pathen om boel saeh lamtah kholong pathen te bawk boeh.
10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Kai tah Egypt kho lamkah nang aka doek na Pathen Yahweh ni. Na ka ang lamtah kan hah sak eh.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
Tedae ka pilnam loh ka ol he ya pawt tih Israel loh kai taengah naep pawh.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
Te dongah amih te lungbuei thinthahnah taengla ka hlah tih amih kah cilkhih dongah pongpa uh.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
Ka pilnam loh kai taengah hnatang koinih ka longpuei te Israel loh a vai sui dae.
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
A thunkha rhoek te a loe la ka kunyun sak vetih a rhal te ka kut neh ka thuung pah suidae.
15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
BOEIPA kah a lunguet rhoek loh anih taengah mai a tum uh vetih amih kah khohnin khaw kumhal duela puh suidae.
16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
Tedae cang tha te anih a cah suitih lungpang khui lamkah khoitui nang kang kum sak sue.
