Psalms 89
1 A psalm (maskil) of Ethan the Ezraite I will sing of the Lord's trustworthy love forever; I will tell all generations of your faithfulness.
Ezrahite Ethan ih Maskil. Angraeng palungnathaih to dungzan khoek to laa ah ka sak han; na oepthohhaih to kaminawk boih khaeah ka pakha hoi roe ka thuih han.
2 For I have said, “Your unfailing love lasts forever; your faithfulness endures as long as the heavens.”
Palungnathaih loe dungzan khoek to caak tih; vannawk boih nuiah na oepthohhaih to na caksak tih.
3 You said, “I have made an agreement with my chosen one, I gave a binding promise to my servant David:
Ka qoih ih kami hoiah lokmaihaih to ka sak moe, ka tamna David khaeah lokmaihaih to ka sak boeh,
4 I will make sure your lineage lasts forever; I will keep your throne secure for all generations.” (Selah)
na tii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, na caanawk ih adung khoek to na angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak han, tiah na thuih. (Selah)
5 All the heavenly beings will sing of the wonderful things you have done, Lord; angels will gather to sing of your faithfulness.
Aw Angraeng, na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vannawk mah saphaw o ueloe, na oepthohhaih doeh kaciim kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah saphaw o tih.
6 For who in heaven can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord even among the angels?
Van ah Angraeng hoi patah han koi mi maw kaom? Thacak kami ih capanawk thungah Angraeng baktiah mi maw kaom?
7 The heavenly council are in awe of God; all who surround him are overwhelmed by him.
Kaciim kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah loe Angraeng to paroeai zit o; anih loe ataeng ah kaom kaminawk pongah khingya paek han koi ah oh.
8 Lord God Almighty, who is as powerful as you? In all this, Lord, you are completely trustworthy.
Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, nang baktih thacak Angraeng mi maw om tih? Na oepthohhaih mah nang to ang takui.
9 You rule the restless seas; you calm their stormy waves.
Nang mah tuipui to na uk; tuiphu angthawk tahang naah, tuiphu to na dipsak.
10 You crushed Rahab the sea-monster to death; by your power you scattered your enemies.
Hum ih kami baktiah, Rahab to na taprawt pet pet moe, na ban thacakhaih hoiah na misanawk to na vah phaeng.
11 The heavens belong to you, and the earth too; you made the world and everything in it.
Vannawk loe nang ih hmuen ah oh o, long doeh nang ih ni; long hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, nang mah ni na sak.
12 You created north and south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon celebrate you.
Aluek hoi aloih to na sak; Tarbo hoi Hermon loe na hmin rang hoiah anghoe tih.
13 Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is held up high in command.
Na ban loe thacakhaih hoiah koi; na ban loe thacak moe, na bantang ban loe sang.
14 Your character of goodness and fairness is the basis for the way you rule; dependable love and trustworthiness are always with you.
Katoengah lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih loe na angraeng tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen ah oh; tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe na hmaa ah caeh tih.
15 How happy are those who know how to shout your praises, Lord. They live in the light of your presence.
Anghoehaih lok panoek kaminawk loe tahamhoih! Aw Angraeng, nihcae loe na hmaa ah aanghaih hoiah caeh o.
16 They celebrate the person you are all day long, so glad that you do what's right.
Nihcae loe na hmin rang hoiah ni thokkruek anghoe o; na toenghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah pakoeh o.
17 They rely on you, their glory and strength; by your grace you lift us up.
Nang loe nihcae lensawkhaih hoi thacakhaih ah na oh; nang tahmenhaih rang hoiah ni kaicae ih taki loe pakoeh ah oh.
18 Yes, the Lord is the one who shields us, and our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.
Kaicae abuephaih loe Angraeng ih ni; Ciimcai Israelnawk ih kami loe kaicae ih siangpahrang ah oh.
19 Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servant and said, “I have given strength to the warrior I have chosen from the people to become king.
Hnuksakhaih hoiah nangmah ih kaciim kami khaeah lok na thuih; thacak kami abomh hanah kang paek boeh; kaminawk thung hoi qoih ih kami maeto ka sangsak boeh.
20 I have selected David my servant, and I have anointed him with the oil of my holiness.
Ka tamna David to ka hnuk boeh; anih loe kaciim kaimah ih situi hoiah ka bawh boeh,
21 I have placed my hand on him to steady him; and I have made him strong by my powerful arm.
anih nuiah ka ban thacak tih; ka ban tampawk hoiah anih tha ka caksak han.
22 His enemies will not deceive him; the wicked will not bring him down.
Misa mah anih ih hmuen to lomh pae mak ai; kasae kami ih ca mah doeh anih to pacaekthlaek mak ai.
23 I will wipe out his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.
Anih hmaa ah a misanawk to ka boh pae moe, anih hnuma kaminawk to raihaih ka paek han.
24 My trustworthiness and unfailing love will be with him, and through me he will be victorious.
Ka oepthohhaih hoi ka palungnathaih anih khaeah om ueloe, ka hmin rang hoiah anih ih taki to pakoeh tih.
25 I will extend his rule from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
Anih ih ban loe tuipui nuiah ka suek pae moe, a bantang ban to vapuinawk nuiah ka koeng pae han.
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
Anih mah, Nang loe kam pa, ka Sithaw, ka pahlonghaih lungsong, tiah na kawk tih.
27 I will also make him my first-born son, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Anih to long siangpahrangnawk pongah sang kue, anih to ka calu ah ka suek han.
28 I will love him faithfully forever; my agreement with him shall never come to an end.
Anih hanah ka palungnathaih dungzan khoek to ka suek han; ka lokmaihaih loe a nuiah cak poe tih.
29 I will make sure his royal line lasts forever; his dynasty will continue as long as the heavens endure.
Anih ih atii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, van oh nathung anih anghnuthaih angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak poe han.
30 But if his descendants abandon my laws, if they do not follow my rules,
A caanawk mah ka paek ih kaalok caeh o taak moe, ka lokcaekhaih baktiah caeh o ai ah,
31 if they break my decrees, and do not keep my commandments,
ka thuih ih loknawk to aek o moe, ka paek ih loknawk to pazui o ai nahaeloe,
32 I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a rod, and their sin by lashing them with a whip.
a sakpazaehaihnawk pongah thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, a sakpazae o haih baktih toengah dan ka paek han.
33 However, I will not take away my love from him; I will not break my promise to him.
Toe kai ih tahmen amlunghaih to anih khae hoiah ka la pae ving mak ai, ka oepthohhaih doeh kam rosak mak ai.
34 I will not annul the agreement I have with him; I will not alter a single word I've said.
Ka sak ih lokmaihaih to kam rosak mak ai, pakha hoi ka thuih ih lok doeh kam khraisak mak ai.
35 By my holy character I have made a vow to David that I will not lie to him.
David khaeah lok kam lai mak ai, tiah ka ciimhaih hoi vaito ka khawt ah lok ka kam boeh.
36 His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
Anih ih atii loe cak poe ueloe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang loe ka hmaa ih ni baktiah om tih.
37 It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” (Selah)
Khrah baktiah cak poe ueloe, van ih oepthok hnukung baktiah om tih. (Selah)
38 But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
Toe nang mah nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, nang panuet boeh, situi na bawh ih kami nuiah palung na phui boeh.
39 You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
Na tamna hoiah sak ih lokmaihaih to na pahnawt sut boeh moe, anih ih angraeng lumuek to panuet kaom long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
40 You have torn down his defensive walls; you have ruined his fortresses.
Anih ih sipaenawk to na phraek pae boih boeh; anih ih kacak sipaenawk doeh nam rosak boeh.
41 Everyone who passes by has robbed him; he has become an object of mockery to the nations nearby.
Loklam ah caeh kaminawk mah anih to lomh o; anih loe ataeng ah kaom kaminawk kasaethuih han koi ah oh.
42 You have made his enemies strong; you have made them celebrate their victory.
A misanawk ih bantang ban to na toengh pae tahang; a misanawk boih to nang hoesak boeh.
43 You have repelled his sharp sword; you have not helped him in battle.
Anih ih sumsen haa to na paqoi pae ving boeh; anih misatuk naah nang doe haih ai boeh.
44 You took away his glory; you threw his throne to the ground.
A lensawkhaih to na boengsak moe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang to long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
45 You have made him grow old before his time; you have totally humiliated him. (Selah)
A qoeng li naah aninawk to na duemsak; azathaih hoiah anih to na khuk khoep boeh. (Selah)
46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself from us forever, your anger burning like fire?
Nasetto maw? Aw Angraeng, nang hawk poe han boeh maw? Palung na phuihaih hmai baktiah kangh tih maw?
47 Remember me—my life is so short! Why did you bother creating futile humanity?
Ka hinghaih loe nasetto maw duemh, tito panoek ah; na sak ih kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni oh o.
48 There's no one who doesn't die—no one can save themselves from the power of the grave. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Kawbaktih kami maw duekhaih tongh ai ah hing thaih? Anih loe taprong thacakhaih thung hoiah a hinghaih pahlong thai tih maw? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where is the trustworthy love you used to have, Lord, that you faithfully promised to David?
Aw Angraeng, loktang lok hoiah na tamna David khaeah na sak ih lokmaihaih hoi canghnii ih na tahmenhaih to naah maw oh ving boeh?
50 Don't forget, Lord, how your servants are being humiliated! I'm burdened down with the insults of so many nations!
Angraeng, na tamnanawk pahnuithuihhaih to pakuem poe ah; thacak kaminawk boih mah kasaethuihaih to palung thung hoi kawbang maw ka pauep, tito panoek ah,
51 Your enemies taunt me, Lord, mocking your king wherever he goes.
Aw Angraeng, na misanawk mah kasae a thuih o; nihcae loe nangmah na caksak kami ih khok tangkannawk to pahnui o thuih boeh.
52 May the Lord be blessed for ever. Amen and amen.
Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih dungzan khoek to om nasoe! Amen hoi Amen.
