Psalms 48
1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
Kathutkung: Korah capanaw BAWIPA teh a lentoe poung. Cathut khopui dawk lentoe poung lah, amae mon kathoung dawk pholen hanlah a kamcu.
2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.
Zion mon atunglah kaawm e teh arasang teh a meihawi.
3 God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.
Cathut teh a im dawkvah ao teh, a kânguenae rapan tie panue lah ao.
4 Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrangnaw a kamkhueng awh teh, cungtalah a dei awh.
5 As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.
A hmu awh toteh, a kalue awh teh koung a yawng awh.
6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,
Kanîtholah e kahlî hoi Tarshish long kalennaw ouk a raphoe e patetlah,
7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.
Haw tueng vah, takinae ni a man awh teh, napui camokhe pataw e patetlah a man awh.
8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (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 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.
Oe Cathut, na bawkim lungui vah, na pahrenlungmanae ouk ka pouk awh.
10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!
Oe Cathut, na min patetlah nang pholennae ni, talai pout totouh a pha teh, nange aranglae kut teh lannae hoi akawi.
11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!
Na lawkcengnae dawkvah, Zion mon teh lunghawi naseh, Zion canu hai konawm naseh.
12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.
Zion hah lawngven awh nateh, imrasangnaw hah parei awh haw.
13 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:
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 “This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh a yungyoe maimae Cathut doeh. Ahni teh maimouh due totouh hai na kahrawikung lah ao.
