Psalms 44
1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding. We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work, thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Korah caanawk ih Maskil. Aw Sithaw, naa hoi ka thaih o boeh; canghnii ah, nang mah nihcae khaeah na sak pae ih tok to, kam panawk mah ang thuih o boeh.
2 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na ban hoiah na haek moe, kam panawk hanah to ahmuen to na paek; to kaminawk to na pacaekthlaek moe, kam panawk to na loisak.
3 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.
Nihcae mah to prae to sumsen hoiah pazawk o ai, angmacae bantha hoiah doeh pazawk o ai: toe nihcae to na palung pongah na bantang ban, na ban hoi na mikhmai aanghaih hoiah ni na pahlong.
4 Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.
Aw Sithaw, nang loe ka Siangpahrang ah na oh; Jakob pahlonghaih lok to paek ah.
5 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
Nang rang hoiah ka misanawk to hnuk kang nawn o sak moe, nangmah ih ahmin hoiah nihcae to ka tit o han.
6 For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.
Kaimah ih kalii hae kang oep haih mak ai, ka sumsen mah doeh na pahlong mak ai.
7 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.
Toe kai hnuma kaminawk to na zatsak moe, kaicae to misanawk ban thung hoiah nang pahlong.
8 In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
Kaicae loe athun qui Sithaw ah ni kam oek o, na hmin to dungzan khoek to ka saphaw o. (Selah)
9 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
Toe vaihi loe nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, azat nang pawsak boeh; kaicae ih misatuh kaminawk hoi doeh nawnto na caeh ai boeh.
10 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
Kaicae hae misa khae hoiah nam laemsak let: kaicae hnuma kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah amro o.
11 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.
Moicaak han suek ih tuu baktiah nang prawt sut boeh moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah nang haehsak phang.
12 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
Nangmah ih kaminawk to atho kazoi ah na zawh, toe nihcae zawhhaih atho mah nang ih hmuenmae to pung kue mak ai.
13 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
Ka imtaeng ih kaminawk mah kasaethuih han kahoih ah nang sak, ka imtaeng kaminawk mah kasaethuihaih hoi pahnuithuihaih to nang phawsak.
14 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah patahhaih lok ah na thuih moe, minawk salakah lu haek thuih hanah nang sak.
15 All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
Na hmaa ah ni thokkruek ahmin ka set moe, ka mikhmai hae azathaih mah khuk khoep boeh,
16 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
kasaethuih koeh kami hoi ahmin setsak koeh kami, lulak koeh kami hoi misanawk pongah ni, to tiah ka oh.
17 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in they covenant.
Hae hmuennawk boih kaicae nuiah phak; toe nang kang pahnet o ai, lok na maihaih doeh ka phrae o ai.
18 And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
Kaicae ih palungthin loe hnuk bangah amlaem ai moe, kaicae ih khoknawk doeh na loklam hoiah amkhraeng ai;
19 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.
toe tasuinawk ohhaih salakah nang tit moe, duekhaih tahlip hoiah nang kraeng khoep.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
Kaicae mah Sithaw ih ahmin ka pahnet o moe, prae kalah sithaw khaeah ban ka payangh o cadoeh,
21 Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Sithaw loe palung thungah tamquta hoi poek ih hmuen to panoek pongah anih mah hnu mak ai maw?
22 Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Ue, nang pongah athun qui duekhaih ka tong o; hum han ih tuu baktiah ang poek o.
23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
Aw Angraeng, anglawt lai ah, tipongah na iih loe? Angthawk ah, kaicae hae dungzan khoek to na haek hmah.
24 Why turnest thou face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
Tipongah mikhmai na hawk ving moe, kaicae raihaih hoi patangkhanghaih to nang pahnet pae ving loe?
25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
Kaicae hinghaih loe maiphu thungah krak tathuk boeh moe, kaicae ih zok doeh long ah angbet caeng boeh.
26 Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
Kaicae abomh han angthawk ah loe, na palungnathaih hoiah kaicae hae na krang ah.
