Psalms 79
1 A psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
Kathutkung: Asaph Oe Cathut, miphun louknaw teh nange râw thung a kâen awh teh, Bawkim kathoung a khin sak awh teh, Jerusalem hah a raphoe awh toe.
2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.
Na sannaw e ro hah kalvan tavanaw rawca lah a poe awh teh, na tami kathoungnaw e moi teh kahrawng sarangnaw a paca awh.
3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them.
A thipaling teh Jerusalem vah tui patetlah a rabawk awh teh, kapakawpkung buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
Imrinaw ni pathoe e lah ka o awh teh, tengpam e naw ni na dudam awh teh na panuikhai awh.
5 How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
BAWIPA nâtotouh ne na lungkhuek han vai. Nâtotouh ne na lung roum laipalah, hmai patetlah a kak han vai.
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
Nang panue hane ka ngai hoeh e miphun hoi na min ka kaw ngaihoeh e ram koevah, na lungkhueknae hah awi haw.
7 Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jakop catoun hah a kâphi awh teh, ahnie hmuen hai a raphoe awh.
8 Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.
Oe, ayan e payonnae hah kaimouh taran nahanelah pâkuem hanh, na lungmanae ni karang poung lah na kabawm naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, puenghoi rahnoum sak lah ka o awh toe.
9 Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:
Oe rungngangnae Cathut, na kabawm haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na min lentoe nahan lah na rungngang haw. Na min kecu dawk ka yonnae hah yonthanae na sak pouh haw.
10 Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed:
Bangkong alouke miphunnaw ni, nâmouh ahnimae Cathut te, ati awh. Na sannaw e thipaling phu moi na pathung e hah ka mithmu vah miphun pueng ni, panuek awh naseh.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
Thongkabawtnaw kâhramnae lawk teh, nang koe phat naseh. Ka lentoe e na hnotithainae patetlah due hanlah a pouk awh e hah, hlout sak haw.
12 And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
Oe Jehovah, na min a mathoesaknae hah, ka imrinaw e phai dawk roeroe vah, let sari touh hoi patho haw.
13 But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation.
Hottelah, nang koe ka pawngpa awh e, tuhu lah kaawm e na tami kaimanaw ni nang teh pou na pholen awh vaiteh, pholennae teh, se pueng koe ka pâpho awh han.
